I feel so lucky to have the Y downtown near my office. It's so convenient to get my workout in during lunch. The staff is wonderful and always so friendly. When I'm not working out on my own, I am attending the 12p-1p circuit and HIIT classes with Krashina and she is a gem, as well as the class. It's exactly what I've been looking for, and has really helped!My only request is better music throughout the gym.

I signed up a few weeks back, got a referral discount. My fee hits at the regular rate, so I call the downtown office and was told the "lady" in charge of discounts is too busy to go in and apply the discounts this month, but its ok because im not the only one who got jipped on their discount. I basically was told to suck it up this month. The woman I signed up with in no way disclosed that my discount would depend on whether someone had time to apply it to my account each month and I would be screwed if she was to busy. I like the gym equipment, but I cannot tolerate a company who does not honor an agreement made with a customer. The management at the YMCA is very disappointing to say the least.

I’ve worked out at this location for years , left and went to other workout facilities and it’s not the same so I decided to come back home where it’s not to crowded and you don’t have to stand in line to wait to use any equipment.

I love it. Everyone is so nice and genuinely helpful. It’s always clean and the equipment is always available and in the best condition to safely operate.

This is a great YMCA, good equipment with a non-intimidating crowd, in a good location. Just wish they would extend the hours a bit.
