Downtown Branch YMCA

This location has a lot of variety of equipment and plenty of space for you to get a workout in. It's cool to see that there is a lot of traffic. Most of the staff is pretty friendly and I can get a good workout in. I do wish that they would make some upgrades and clean some things like their track carpet and other things they try or just cover up. But in general it's an affordable place and I like it.

I think you should follow these three steps. (a) do what a Detroit-based rapper would do and join this place. (b) come every day. (c) listen to Eminem. Why Em? See (a).So I've figured out that a tree must be located downtown, in order for it to have a Downtown Branch.Mind... Blown.It's an older facility, and some of the weights are a little clunky and difficult to use, but once you get in here you'll have a pretty good work out like I did. There's parking across the street - which I'm not sure if you're always allowed to use, but at least it seems like you can and I didn't have any problems using it.This Y is on a slanted downward Street, and I didn't have a problem getting into the facility, and the locker rooms were fine and it's definitely got a lot of decent new equipment, especially the machines - so I appreciated that. One of the better downtown Ys I've used in the country.There's a running track right around all the weights and stuff. Feels kinda funny with everyone running around you. It can get a little busy at times but it's usually not too bad. It could use a bit of a revamp but for an older Y it's not bad at all. I couldn't decide between a 4 and a 5 for this one. I think it could use better visibility to the outside, like some of the cardio rooms have. But all in all, it's good.And one more thing. Don't join up and then bail on them. Like, if you're gonna pay all that money, then use it. This place was founded by the Christians. So we should learn from them. I have never seen a Christian, Bale. Ever. Get it?

The gym has a lot to offer, I normally go here for swimming and normal work-out. They have lots of equipment and also a basketball court. The swimming pool divided into lanes and very clean. It is a good place for people to do swimming practice or children to learn how to swim. They also offer classes in yoga, zumba, swimming, etc.Staffs are friendly and helpful.

Rarely come to the YMCA. Paid $12 to get in at about 3:50 not knowing the Y closed at 5. 4:45 comes around and get asked to leave. Went to the front desk to ask for a day pass for a later date not a refund was asked if I was coming back tommorow told him no. Terrible customer service!

This is the best gym I've found in town. Wasn't expecting much, but this proved to be a fantastic place to get in a full workout. Great cardio equipment, fantastic weight rooms and a clean facility. There is no other place to go to get in a great workout. Thank you!

Was in town for the day, staying at the Doubletree at 16th and Dodge. Called the Y and asked about the cost for a one day walk-in rate and was quoted $12 and to bring an ID. Not bad so I walked over and the lady at the counter gave me the senior rate of $2. Not bad at all.I only used the weight facilities except for the rower (as a warm up). A really nicely appointed weight facility. They even had an Oly platform and bumper plates to do cleans and snatches. I could even drop the weights and no one glared at me.My only gripe was the rowers. They used an off brand rower by Matrix (I think) instead of Concept 2 rowers. There is no comparison. I would have stayed longer and gotten a rowing workout as well if they had had a Concept.Otherwise, nice place, nice people and good equipment.

I was falsely accused of inappropriate behavior at the downtown branch on August 19, 2022. The worker told me to collect my things and leave, in front of others instead of privately. He didn't care about my statement that it wasn't true. After I left, I was called by the director and told that the accusation was fabricated. This was very embarrassing and humiliating and could have ruined my reputation. It's upsetting to me that anyone can make a statement like that, and the accused is guilty until proven innocent. Update - I got a call from the operations director apologizing for the event and he stated that things would be done differently in the future. This went a long way with me, and I really appreciated him reaching out. I'm changing my rating.

Well maintained and I like the fact that there aren't kids running around. Which helps me focus on my workouts better.

If you need anything ask for Stacy at the front, she's been with the branch for ever and knows how everything works. I had a billing issue and the other front desk staff sunk back into I don't know, I can't help you. This is someone supposedly with the branch for years. I was told I needed to speak with the membership director because, my question about monthly billing was just to much to handle. Long story short I missed 3 weeks in the gym trying to track down the director of membership. Mostly from my scheduling issues. Today I came in looking for Missy, she was in meetings.... Stacy without blinking an eye had my issue and everyone checked in and even a delivery checked in within just a few minutes. She deserves a raise...and a bonus! The gym is solid as well. Good equipment obviously there are peak times, where there are more people training. But everyone is polite and you just have to wait for the equipment to open up. Get your buns in here and get shredded it's 2022!

Garbage daycare. I was told by Marcy that my child was too much to handle and they couldn't accommodate my daughter's needs, all while her son fussed in her arms. Ridiculous, hire adequate and experienced staff and your clients wouldn't suffer.
