I am the junior director for Greater Dayton Rowing and we have been using the YMCA for our winter training facilities. We have had a great experience with the facility and the staff. We have approx. 30 kids training at the Y and they love this place.

I always have a great experience at the Downtown Dayton YMCA. The facility and equipment are clean and well-maintained. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Since I work downtown, it is also convenient. I recommend the Downtown Y especially for those who work in the downtown area.

I have regularly worked out at the downtown YMCA for the past 5 years and it has been a wonderful experience. The location is convenient, the facility is well maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful, there is a variety of equipment of available and there are many class options. Executive Director Larry Dryden seeks out feedback from members and has been prompt in responding to questions and suggestions. I personally have enjoyed the addition of new equipment and training programs. The downtown Y is a secret gem....and this is a secret worth sharing!

I have yet to have anything but a fantastic experience at the downtown Y. I live closer to two other YMCA locations, and make the drive downtown without hesitation to use this facility. They have more equipment, a fantastic staff, and beautiful views to enjoy while I work out or just relax. If you haven't been, go check them out.

I have been a member of the Downtown YMCA for over 3 years. I love the group fitness classes; the instructors are well educated and engaged, which makes for a fun workout. There are tons of new equipment and classes being added every month. If you work downtown or live in Dayton, this is a great membership to have.

The Downtown Y is a beautiful building, great equipment, wonderful staff and perfect location! Our team is using the facility nearly every day and have enjoyed it immensely. We have used nearly every inch of the building, including Cardio room, weights, gorgeous pool, locker rooms, basketball courts, indoor track, aerobic classrooms and have even ran the stairs! On nice days, we pop outside to view the river. SO glad to be using this as our training site for winter. Looking forward to keep using in the future!

The downtown YMCA is a great place to work out. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The equipment is the latest and kept clean and up to date. The classes are varied and the instructors very knowable and enthusiastic. The other members are also very friendly and great to work out with. I would recommend this Y to anybody looking for a good place to work out.
