YMCA of Greater Dayton - Downtown YMCA Branch: Opinions
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: Awesome group classes: Both the core strengthening "Glutes and Guts" and the cycling classes are superb. Instructor Shelby keeps you going, great motivation and outstanding workout! Super convenient location for going to or coming from work in Dayton......
Fantastic experience: Great place
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: The YMCA Downtown has beautiful views of the river. I like the steam room and suana alot. Love taking my friends and grandchildren there.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Positive experience: The staff here is hit or miss. Some of the clerks at the front desk are wonderfully sweet and helpful, others won’t even acknowledge your existence or mutter a hello while they scan your badge. The food court is a joke. I ordered a smoothie and had to teach the girl behind the counter how to make it because she didn’t know how to. The end result wasn’t anything great either, so I won’t be doing that again… the bathrooms are kind of gross too… Overall, the gym itself isn’t so bad. The weight room has plenty of equipment and free weights, lots of cardio equipment, a basketball court, and a pool. I’d say you’re definitely getting your moneys worth when it comes to the amenities and free classes, but be prepared to pay an additional $15 a month for parking if you don’t live downtown.
Positive experience: AC has been out for two weeks in the weight room. It's a balmy 75 degrees, which is quite unpleasant to work out in. Patrons rarely re-rack or wipe down their equipment after use. The staff is friendly but if I didn't live so close, I would definitely choose another gym.
Positive experience: Fair and balanced review this y is probably the best equipped health club in Dayton with all the amenities the problem is the parking is terrible unless you go very early in the morn you will have to drive around looking for a place to park on the street or you can pay extra to park in a lot also restrooms here are generally NASTY
Positive experience: Nice staff. Lots of classes and services. However it's on multiple levels and not exactly easily accessible. You must pay to park in the parking lot or park off site. This is located in almost a 100 year old building so done of the inconveniences make sense. But it is definitely an interesting location! It's very large with many amenities.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality
Fantastic experience: Nice location by the river. Staff are polite, facilities are clean, and the pool is also nice.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality
Fantastic experience: Great place to go swimming all year round
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: I Have Been A Member At This Location For YEARS.... NONE OTHER CAN COMPARE, THE EMPLOYEES ARE VERY PERSONAL & KNOWLEDGEABLE HELPERS. THEY HAVE COME A LONG WAY, HANDS DOWN THIS IS THE WORKOUT PLACE TO BE~ THEY DESERVE 5'⭐ STARS RATING.... HERE U GO~
Fantastic experience: 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.
Positive experience: 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.
Positive experience: I came here with my Friend Eddie & really enjoyed myself
Fantastic experience: Always a great workout. Activtrax is fantastic!
