High Street YMCA

Fantastic experience: The High Street YMCA is a wonderful facility. I became involved in the silver sneakers program. The water aerobics group is very good! My greatest experience was the Livestrong program for Cancer survivors. I was in a class with "Mark". My waist went from a 44 to a 34. My energy level increased dramatically. I toned up a great deal. I am 68, and feel better than I have in years. I can't recommend the YMCA, on High Street, highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Love this place

Fantastic experience: Everyone has been very nice. The facilities are very clean and so very glad for the apartments on the 3rd floor :)

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: My go-to Lexington Y!

Fantastic experience: The Y is one of the greatest assets our community has. The folks who work there truly care about the folks who go there. It is impressive and life changing.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication Hittin' the free weights and then doing laps in the pool early Monday morning always gets my week off to a good start.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality My wife loves the water aerobics class! She just feels that it is so well-planned and that she sees all of her friends. I enjoy the gym and the help from the staff who are working in the gym! They have been a big help to me.

Fantastic experience: I love the welcoming staff when you enter the high street facility! The group classes are a blast and the instructors and members are so motivating! The cherry on top is getting to relax after a hard workout in the dry Sauna, and don’t be surprised if you meet a welcoming, smiling face in there. YMCA truly embodies what a community working together to keep things solid looks like.

Fantastic experience: Everybody is so nice and helpful.

Fantastic experience: They are donating there gym to help special Olympics athletes to have a place to practice and play basketball games.

Fantastic experience: Big blue tattoos NOT the YMCA

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Gotta get tough and rough

Fantastic experience: The High Street YMCA is my happy place. Love my instructors, class choices, and seeing my friends. Everybody who works there is welcoming and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and other members are always friendly and nice. Never seems to be crowded but always a steady flow of people. Never had an issue with equipment availability.

Fantastic experience: Small local gym that's never too crowded

Fantastic experience: This facility has everything you should need to do any kind of work out: strength, endurance, HIIT, flexibility, or just something fun! There's semi-hidden areas throughout the building that can pretty quiet if that's something you prefer.

Fantastic experience: Great environment and very uplifting establishment

Fantastic experience: Love the place

Fantastic experience: I love the ymca ive been going there since the early 90s when i was just a young kid over 30 yrs now amazing place people and energy there proud to be from lexington and to have grown up going to such a positive place to exercise like the high st ymca. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to volunteer

Fantastic experience: The High Street Y is the most welcoming place. Someone is always there to greet you and tell you good bye as you leave. I always feel better after going to the High Street Y not only because of a good workout but because of the friendly staff. Special thanks to Dave Elsen and Debbi Dean for steering us thru COVID and to Kim Davis for starting up her fabulous noon classes last summer.

Fantastic experience: Love our YMCA

Fantastic experience: I love the warm and community-building attitudes of the staff. And, the people who come here tend to be friendly, civically engaged people (perhaps attracted by the downtown convenience and vibe) -- for some reason, this site attracts friendly, warm, low key people. I like the homey, unpretentious feeling of the space itself. I just wish that it wasn't so hard to find life guards these days because it would be great if you could expand your lap swim hours.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Great pool for swimming. The swim classes are great, thanks Greg!

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: It's just a all round good place has all the equipment you need and feels homey and a cool building it also as entertainment like a pool , basketball court and and wall ball court

Fantastic experience: Excelente lugar!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have always found the High Street Y to be a clean and welcoming place. Especially rare in a gym housed in an older building. I dislike gyms that make me feel like I'm exercising in a doctor's office. This place has that old feeling while maintaining a great level of hygiene and cleanliness.

Fantastic experience: Clean, felt safe

Fantastic experience: If you didn't get to experience the YMCA summer camp in the 80s and 90s...well you missed out. It was affordable, provided free services to some, weekly trips (buses and Vans), lock-ins (which prepared for college life). It was ran by great staff- I will never forget this experience. Ms. Wendy, Mr. Jack there are plenty others...!

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best YMCA's in town. It is not as big as the Beaumont one, but definitely has everything that you need. It is 50$ for registration and 50$/month after if you are over 25. I just turned 25 and I got the 30$/month deal and you can go to any of the YMCA's in Lexington for this. It is a pretty good deal for 30$. It is at one of the main locations downtown and they have good parking spots. Though, it is hard to get a spot at evening times (4- 7 pm). The gym has everything you need. The rowing machine is my favorite and this is one of the few gyms in Lexington that has it. The swimming pool has 4 lanes and it is a good place to relax. They locker rooms are clean and you can borrow a lock from the reception desk. The locker rooms have sauna and steam rooms (my favorites) They have basket ball courts and heavy gym machinery on upper floors. The best part about Y is you have various classes like Yoga, Zumba and Pilates happening throughout the week at different schedules. i tried all the classes atleast once and the dance classes are my favorite. There used to be a hip hop dance class (more fast paced than Zumba) which was fun. They stopped it for some reason. Hope it resumes in the future. You need to bring your own yoga mats for Yoga classes. Zumba classes are fun. I dance like an awkward sheep and yet I go, so there is nothing stopping you and feel free to go and let yourself out.

Fantastic experience: Staff very friendly! Thank you for letting our boys release some built up energy after long drive...

Fantastic experience: I love the swiming pool

Fantastic experience: It is not even close to the nicest gym in Lexington. BUT, they have most of the machines you may want. Lots of free weights, and a pool. The staff are kind and pleasant. It is not very expensive while being located downtown. The added bonus is it has a wonderful old school vibe that kind of makes you want to take off the headphones and converse with your fellow gym rat.

Fantastic experience: Love it! Old school facilities with modern equipment. Also love men locker room has its own sauna and steamroom

Fantastic experience: I have been to a few ymca's and ran across arrogant, snobby members , this location had friendly staff and members
