Robert D. Love DOWNTOWN YMCA - Greater Wichita YMCA

Fantastic experience: The cafe at the downtown YMCA has excellent food and such a friendly staff! It's honestly the perfect after workout lunch. I think I'll go eat there even when I don't go workout at the Y. ;)

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym in Wichita. I have had all good things happen to me. The staff knows my name and the facility is always clean. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful and they tend to issues intelligently. But there are a lot of ignorant members there, so if you're planning on going, make sure you bring your headphones and take a look at the issues that arise: NO CHILDREN UNDER 7 IN THE CARDIO/WEIGHT AREAS! - This has been a problem and parents will not take responsibility for their young children when the rule is clearly stated. NO JEANS OR OPEN TOED SHOES: I figured this was a "duh" - you're at a gym, not a fashion show. AND PLEASE, FOR THOSE TRYING TO STAY FIT AND HEALTHY, STOP DISRESPECTING EQUIPMENT AND DEGRADING MEMBERS: This is another problem that is everywhere. Use equipment as intended, you're there to workout. Stop hitting on girls, you're there to workout. And stop trying to show off your mad strength, just lift weights normally because the girls still don't care.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, best facilities and equipment and Beautiful place to work out. Very knowledgeable staff to answer questions. Definitely the best for your money in town also.

Fantastic experience: It is the best YMCA in the world. It's always busy and it makes workouts more fun when more are there. The staff is great and the hours are right.

Fantastic experience: I get a friendly greeting every time I walk in the door, and I usually get a "have a nice day" when I leave. One of the staff members has even gotten to know my name--and I'm not that consistent in going. It's a bit hot inside, but I suppose that makes me sweat more, and they're saving energy. There are definitely some space issues associated with the new construction, but I think they are juggling it fabulously. I can't wait for the completed new Y. I think they take feedback seriously here too. I expressed a desire to see evening aquatics classes since there weren't really any in the spring, and this summer there are a ton of evening options. I'm totally hooked on this Y.

Fantastic experience: New to Wichita and new to the Y, and I am blown away how nice both places are. We bring our little one for personal swimming lessons with Warren, who is so awesome with our four year old.

Fantastic experience: The best gym EVER besides Go Dolla Fitness LLC

Fantastic experience: Lifeguard, Andrew was helpful and friendly ! Made me feel safe with my little brother that’s still learning to swim ! I will be back because of him :)

Fantastic experience: The staff is literally perfect EVERY TIME! very clean gyms this place is hugggge it’s huggggeee y’all

Fantastic experience: The staff have been so helpful. I feel welcome and comfortable asking questions. The womens locker room is very clean and smells good. The smell is probably lotion and hair product but it is always nice. The exercise area has cleaning supplies and members keep the equipment clean.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in to swim some laps while on a road trip. Pool is 25 Short Course Yards - and perfect temp for a long session. Great Aquatics Staff! This visit was my second time here - Front Desk Staff was friendly and remembered me from my last visit several months ago. Jeannie was fabulous and refreshed me on all of the facility features and locations. Locker rooms were clean and spacious - nice sauna and steam rooms. Can't wait to return!

Fantastic experience: There quite literally has not been a time that I did not get a ridiculous pump from this YMCA.

Fantastic experience: It's the best waterpark in Wichita

Fantastic experience: There quite literally has not been a time that I did not get a ridiculous pump from this YMCA.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best YMCA in Wichita. Can't beat a workout with a gorgeous view of the city!

Fantastic experience: I love the “ Love from the Y “ The facility is always clean the workers are wonderful such a good hearted people Thank you YMCA family for your Business and for your caring of others well-being .

Fantastic experience: My favorite Y in town.

Fantastic experience: Great employees, clean facilities. Great people working out, friendly place to be.

Fantastic experience: I love the Ymca we always go it has nice Service the people that work there are so kind and sweet

Fantastic experience: As a former Y Executive with nearly 30 years of experience I must say this is one of the finest Y’s I have ever visited. The facility has been open for 8 years and still looks brand new. Locker rooms were very clean and well organized. The showers are fully tiled (which means much easier to clean and maintain in the long run). Many Ys shortcut tiling for early cost savings, but the wise Ys spend a bit more in the beginning to save on staffing and repairs in the long run. This is important because studies show members enjoy clean facilities...that and caring staff! The pool is fully tiled and that’s good for reasons I mentioned earlier. I swim so this will help swimmers. The water is crystal clear. I mean crystal. While that is no guarantee of great water quality it is very strong evidence. Temperature is totally a matter of personal preference. Lap swimmers will love the temp of the water, water exercisers will not be excited about this cooler setting. I guess about 81 degrees or so. Again, this really is just a matter of personal preference and not something to grade a faculty by. Back to the showers. They are curtained and warm. It may seem little, but having a quality stainless steel wire rack attached to the wall makes it easy to stow shower items like soap and shampoo. However, when you first enter the Y you can’t help but notice the HUGE TV screen in the lobby - set to ESPN. I didn’t go to the fitness area or gym, but the lobby, pool and locker rooms are a great areas for judging fitness facilities and Ys. I use Nationwide YMCA and was cared for very well by the front desk staff. This is truly a gem of a Y.

Fantastic experience: People here are great. Facility is fantastic. Live supporting the Y and their mission

Fantastic experience: Only problem, besides being busy to often, is when there are classes in the pool, they shut down the little kids pool.. Not fair.

Fantastic experience: Great Downtown YMCA! If you are traveling from out of town, their day guest pass is fair and affordable. Clean, well-equipped, and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facilities, friendly staff, great classes!

Fantastic experience: Pros: -Fully equipped workout rooms with everything you could ever want from free weights to ninja gyms. -large classrooms for yoga, self defense, cycling, etc. -Indoor pool, hot tub, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY... Sauna AND steam room! Not all locations boast this availability and this is the main reason I come here often. -Basketball courts, squash and racket ball courts, -Kids area Cons: -This is the exact location that the pedophile was fired from. However, since then extra security measure have been enacted to prevent this from being possible again. -Location, location, location! Although conveniently placed for local residents, this part of Wichita is known for it's danger. There are a lot of gang-related activities on Broadway, but mostly just homeless and prostitutes. I have personally never felt threatened when attending this location. -If you are incredibly insecure then you may want to steer clear of the weight room. Lotta jacked people making you look horrible and feel horrible about your self may not be great for your self-esteem. However, personally, I use this to my advantage and let the peer pressure motivate me to become jacked like them. -really, there are no major cons that I seriously consider as factors that would effect my 5 star rating of this location. The staff has always been there for me, and the common-folk have a "we're all in this together" mentality. Get a membership here if you can afford it. The income-based membership fees make it feasible for most people.

Fantastic experience: The Downtown YMCA is really nice place to workout during all hours. The temperature is nice, not to cold not to hot. Plenty of machines for people to get their work in and done. Overall a really good place to workout.

Fantastic experience: This place is great nice staff and fun to go to

Fantastic experience: Great facility, new equipment. Love this place.

Fantastic experience: I come here for a quick lunch. Always something interesting happening.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility. Great views of the downtown area. Updated machines, courts, etc. I wish there was a security desk at the other entrance (Market St.) and I think there needs to be more parking for peak hours. Otherwise, it is awesome. Best YMCA in Wichita, right up there with Andover location.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Best I've ever been too

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure. The Staff makes all the difference.

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed myself and had a very good workout.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Very clean. Has everything you need to get a good workout in. The wifi is great too!

Fantastic experience: Excellent! Great atmosphere and friendly staff! It's enough room for everyone to get a good workout and enjoy themselves doing it!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to y since 60s . The new building is a great inpovment . Staff all ways the best. Good job to all of you at down town y.

Fantastic experience: awesome i swim there daily and the place is so clean

Fantastic experience: Wasn't crowded, everyone is polite, equipment and everything is clean, and water fountains are cold.

Fantastic experience: An amazing facility. The third story space has some of the best views in the city. Equipment kept in great shape or fixed very quickly.

Fantastic experience: I have trained in facilities all over the world, and the Downtown Wichita Y is the nicest gym I have ever seen. If I had to nit pick, I would say that the plates don't all match and they have spring instead of clamp collars, but that's about it. It's spectacular. If you are anywhere close, check it out.

Fantastic experience: Staff friendly. The remodeling is excellent. And, sure is nice for the Mead Corner 404 snacks & beverages available. My favorite Y.

Fantastic experience: The BEST one in Wichita . Lots of equipment . Friendly Staff & Great view !

Fantastic experience: Best most comfortable gym ever!

Fantastic experience: This is a newer building and is very clean, the staff is very nice and willing to offer help if you need it. They were having trouble with the water fountains recently but I believe they fixed this issue, other than that no problems I have seen.

Fantastic experience: This Y is awesome!!!! You can get a great workout in for sure. Right across the street from the City County building, where I needed to file paperwork. Knocked out two birds with one stone. Yeeeees!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best health club in town.

Fantastic experience: Amazing space to work out, swim, etc. But, whoever designed the building so you have to go up three stories to start a workout is a mean, mean person.

Fantastic experience: Clean, lots of equipment in good order.

Fantastic experience: All the staff I have encountered have been really helpful and just totally awesome!!! The facility is very clean and sanitary and I really enjoy working out in an environment that is judgement free!!! Thank you to all the staff for making my workout time as free of judgements and clean and safe as you possibly can.

Fantastic experience: I am a big fan of the Y organization as a whole entity. I played many sports, field trips and lessons learned as a result of our communities having such a place for us to go. It takes many hours of hard work and volunteerism to pull off what the Y does day in and day out. The make it look effortless, but it is a result of much planning, preparing and many dedicated staff making all this possible! Keep up the great works!

Fantastic experience: It's an awesome YMCE ever in Wichita It's huge and big, I love it
