Wellmark YMCA

Experiencia fantástica: Nice place, open on time and many options. Whether to workout on machines , free weights , cardio equipment , swimming or classes; they have about anything for anyone . Along with racquetball courts , basketball courts, etc. They have regular locker room and then a fitness center ( like a vip , executive ) with towels, disposable razors, shaving cream, hair gel, hair spray, spray deodorant , powder, q-tips , aftershave , hair dryers, etc for additional costs monthly where you can keep your stuff in assigned locker and key code for entry to room with sauna and steam room , hot tub, showers , bathroom . They used to provide a service that washed your clothes daily and out back in locker which all of us fitness center members really loved and awaiting for it to return especially since staff say they’re working on it. They give a laundry bag and ya toss it in bin when done working out then clothes are back in locker next day for workout . Really great option so you don’t have to bring a gym bag every trip to exercise . Just a change of clothes for after shower . You have to park at meters which is done through app now or can park in ramp on east side of the Ymca which is like $2 or something . All in all nice huge facility to do a plethora of things or get in/out and back to hustle and bustle of life.

Experiencia fantástica: the entire gym is great the only bad thing to point out is that they close very early. as for those of us who left work late.

Experiencia fantástica: Wow! Very impressive YMCA that takes up an entire city block. The machines are plentiful and in very good shape. Bouldering wall along with several racquetball courts and a large gymnasium. Aquatic Center is unlike any YMCA I have ever seen before, beyond impressive. Locker rooms are posh and have a sauna as well.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place to train!

Experiencia positiva: Pool is wonderful but way too cold. Much colder than the Walnut Creek YMCA. Please up the temp in at least the program pool!

Experiencia fantástica: My current gym! The staff here is amazing! I enjoy morning workouts and a cup of the free hot coffee after I finish. Has a nice pool, 2 indoor basketball courts and an indoor track. I have a student discount and I think the price is fair. The equipment is a bit outdated but functional and it can beca bit crowded in the afternoons. There is plenty of space to squat and deadlift, which is important to me!

Experiencia fantástica: Best fitness setup in the city!! Awesome Olympic-sized swimming pool, over 5,000 sq ft of workout space, a 1/8 mile indoor track, racquet ball courts for days, multiple basketball courts, steam room, sauna and an indoor batting cage. This place is the best in the city!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very clean equipment, locker rooms, and pool area. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Lots of class offerings for the family.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome location; cannot beat getting in & out of a facility without ever going outside, due to the Skywalk; it's only one of two gyms in the US that connects this way. The building is huge; a massive (2) pool area; all training equipment is well spaced out. Two full BB courts; 10 Racquetball / handball courts; mechanical workout equipment is aging but functional.

Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyment of friends the workout equipment was wiped down the showers will clean always had clean towels

Experiencia fantástica: Staff members never fail to say hi and bye to me. That makes me feel like home. I spend a lot of time here during the week. Staff really makes the difference. I want the management to know they are doing a great job training these wonderful people on how to treat the YMCA members. Keep it up!

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Love this place! The staff is absolutely amazing and the equipment is some of the best in town!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I were members for more than 5 years and recently had to cancel our membership because we moved. We are so sad to say goodbye to this facility and it’s staff and patrons. We’re both serious lifters and appreciated the quality of the equipment and the multiple areas with power racks. There are good cardio machine options as well, and most of the cardio machines were recently upgraded. The community you’re able to build as a regular with people from all walks of life is an added bonus. Would definitely recommend for people at any fitness level looking for a gym to call home.

Tons of different workout machines, seemed to have everything someone working out would need. Staff were very friendly as well, overall very pleasant experience here.

Experiencia fantástica: This new facility is probably the most beautiful YMCA in the world. Enormous wide open spaces. Every area has so much room, so much equipment, with very high ceilings, bright and clean. Always full of people but not a crowded feeling. And I cant wait to see the HUGE indoor pool opening soon. You've got to check this place out.

Experiencia fantástica: I just had an excellent customer service experience with Jazz at the front desk. I had some confusion over my credit card expiring and my membership lapsing and he explained everything and was so kind. Also, Pete is such a friendly person to see at the desk. Thank you for providing a great service, during a very busy time of day they took the time to get me situated! I love the Y.

Experiencia fantástica: Great facility with something for everyone. I do all of my training for triathlon here and love it. Super welcoming and inclusive for everyone, clean and safe facilities, large a spacious and versatile, great convenient parking, etc. Highly recommend the Downtown Y and the Greater Des Moines YMCA Association!

Experiencia fantástica: This is a very nice facility. I really enjoyed the mind body center here. I am a member at another YMCA, but I called ahead of time to make sure my membership would be accepted here - no issues. This was at great location to exercise while staying downtown. I'm hoping I get to return at some point.
