Downtown YMCA

Geno Blunt a month ago

I was uninformed that the bigger towels were for fitness members only I’ve had a membership with them for a couple months now first time going to this location they told me I can only get the small towels. I asked them why they argued with me and canceled my membership and did not refund my money when I paid for a month ahead just save yourself the headache and drive to another location. Also, the whole facility is very old and outdated half of the showers in the men’s locker room. Do not work just not a very good experience for my hard earned money.

This place is a dungeon. I really wanted to support the Downtown YMCA, but this location is an embarrassment that's being left to rot while other branches get updates. The building opened in 1969, and it feels like they haven't deep-cleaned or updated anything since. It's dark, musty, and just plain old and dingy. The equipment is broken or outdated, It's not vintage charm—it's neglect. But the layout is the real disaster. They hold cycling classes on this tiny terrace that overlooks the main gym. And because it's a multipurpose space, it's also used for yoga. Nothing says 'zen' like having people walk in and get an eyeful of everyone's ass in the air. So don't expect to get a consistent cycling session in—it's awkward for everyone. And then, the audacity. They have the nerve to charge a $25 drop-in fee for a sauna and steam room that legitimately looks like it was installed the day the building opened in 1969 and hasn't been touched since. It's not worth a penny. To top it all off, they up-charge access to a tiny room with maybe four machines and try to pass it off as a 'personal fitness center.' It's a glorified broom closet. Between the dungeon-like atmosphere, old facility, the broken equipment, the awkward zoo-like layout, and the insulting up-charges for ancient amenities, this place is a complete scam. Save your money and go to another YMCA that actually believes in maintenance.

The swimming coaches are great with the students. They relate and help kids focus and trust themselves. Great place to have kiddos learn to swim.. The pool is clean and the front desk greets you every w.

Staff are not super friendly. Childwatch has fixed the piss smell issue, but could use a good cleaning.
