This place discriminated against people with minor differences and kicks you out without letting you join back.

I've visited and been a member at a few YMCA'S and this is by far my favorite! Everyone is extremely friendly and I love the overall atmosphere! Some may be put off by the $10/month for parking but that's really a steal since the location is downtown and parking can be scarce otherwise. If you just go 5 times a month it more than pays for itself. Thank you Downtown YMCA for making me never want to be a member at any other Y :) It's also really convenient to be able to go to other Y's across the country when I'm out of town too.

I just love the downtown YMCA. The building is so beautiful, the people and the staff were so friendly. I love using the walking track with the big beautiful arched windows looking out at the river and downtown.

Hot tub not accessible. If you can’t do stairs then there is an elevator available if you can find a staffer to open it for you. Lots of equipment but barriers to get there and horrible parking make this more of a hassle than a workout.

Best gym in Downtown Dayton. Very affordable pricing. They have almost all the major equipment/machines required for weight training. Good mix of group classes. Major pro that they open early at 5 AM in the morning during weekdays. Would be a perfect 5 start rating if they opened early on weekends too. The indoor track and pool are nice and well maintained.
