The gyms locker rooms need a major update. They are gross. The lockers are small and the floor is disgusting.
I swim there. Life guard is on time. That is wonderful
Love the group fight class on Saturday mornings! The instructor, Noah, makes the hard work fun!
I like the staff and I like all the differemt workout equipment that you have. I also like that it's not crowded. The maintenance could be better. The sinks in the men's shower area barely work and the showers (the ones in the stalls) could use an upgrade.
I like to swim and take a shower afterwards but the water pressure is horrible, Also could use some updating!
Pool upkeep and hold the heavy metal music. John does a great job. Right now with streetcar, access is a challenge as is the aging building.
I have been going to the Y for almost over 15 years every time I come back and start coming consistently I always remembered how much I love it and then I should’ve never left but life gets busy. Shelley, who works at the front desk is amazing. she’s always a friendly phrase at 5 AM. I’m happy to see everyone at the YMCA is so friendly and encouraging to come every day even if you skipped a couple days it’s like a big family.
I come to the downtown Y to swim and always find the pool in good condition and the staff super helpful. A good way to start the day!
Fix showers and price
Charging extra for the steam room is messed up. No other ymca I've been to does that.
You have everything I need for my workouts, things are generally clean, and it's super convenient to get there after work.
Multiple reasons first facilities are terrific and always clean! Any equipment is always fixed promptly and staff is very receptive to their clients. But most importantly it just feels like home!
The Downtown YMCA is one of the best YMCA in Omaha area super friendly staff good class instructors. Thank you.
The facility is very clean and there is never a wait to use anything in the facility. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable.
We were not assigned a coach and, instead of informing us or communicating with our team at all, the YMCA just didn’t say anything until we arrived for our first game and no one showed up to coach our team. One of the parents kindly stepped up and we have been piecing together parent coaching coverage each week but, despite multiple emails to DeValon Whitcomb, I have never received a single response from the YMCA about coaching expectations or training supplies for us as we piece things together. I had to find a random employee to even get a jersey for my daughter. What was my fee even for?
Unresponsive to multiple emails and phone calls attempting to have our family play on same team. The age group was 3-4. Emails were sent to devalon whitcomb. No response. Filled out request form twice, no response.
Very clean gym. Very respectful nice people very friendly.
Omaha's local city Y.M.C.A. contributes to the individuals awarness of the hidden structures of growth and a peace of mind.
Upgrade the locker room/ bathroom. Even just aesthetic to feel cleaner and more inviting.
I have been a member for many years and enjoy the atmosphere and equipment. Stacey has been a great representative for the y.
Everyone is super friendly and helpful.
I joined the Maple location but mostly coming downtown due to better classes and pool hours for my schedule. I especially like the Sat morning classes with Dan and the fact that you have regular lap swim available with more lanes than Maple. However, I did try yoga twice - once Wed eve and once Sunday am - and both instructors were no shows. The Sunday instructor apparently didn’t work there anymore but no one told the 6-8 of us standing there waiting for class that he wasn’t coming. I wish you had an aqua fitness class!
I have been attending, when in Omaha, on and off since 1971. Loved the Old Squash Courts. Aqua Joints were most helpful after Knee and Hip Surgeries.
Your pool schedule sucks. you had the wrong lap times on the large poster just assuming people knew it was wrong and needed to get the paper copy for correct times. For something that used to be centered around swimming lessons for kids and swimming in general the pool should be available more. Why is it that only the women have to be inconvenienced by closing their locker room regularly? The staff is often uniformed on a variety of issues. And finally the hours lack any real flexibility.
I have membership with ymca because I like the joga classes but lately every class has been canceled l wish they had back
I love the place ! Brandon , Madison , Tracy ( she’s the boss ) are the best ! The YMCA helps a lot people , especially people like myself . Keep up the good work .GOD BLESS YOU. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
clean, stacy is great
The woman who works the front desk in the mornings, Stacy I believe, is very rude. She is the only reason why I am not buying a full pass.
Staff is super friendly and the gym as a whole is very clean. Also very accommodating to my wife who is in a wheelchair. Thank you
I like the atmosphere of the Downtown Y. I like the fact that most times I can easily get on the machine that is part of my workout routine. I've shortened my because shoulder problems but I still get a fairly good workout. One thing that irritates me to no end is the number of people who spend more time on a machine playing with their phone. I just don't understand why they want to waste a good workout reading and sending text's. The other thing is when some people hog two machines and they don't anyone to get on one of them. I have had words with a few people who do that. I think the staff at the Y are pretty cordial and easy to get along with, I have never had a problem with any of them. The reason I gave you a 9 is because nothing is perfect, I never give anyone a 10.
Have bathrooms on the second floor open for use when classes are going on. Air flow is not good, making it necessary for fans to blow during classes. I have dry eye and this makes me fairly miserable.
Pool is filthy, way overpriced for the adult fitness club, no more unlimited towels, no more whirlpool, sauna redesign makes up sit upright or risk burns (which I incurred on my last visit when I bumped my arm on the heat vent- no guarding to prevent this- can't believe this passes inspection), the place has simply become a dump. Makes me sad. I have been a member since 2008. And actually started going there as a kid back in the 1970s. Unbelievably, the staff, for the most part, remain friendly. With great regret, I had to cancel my membership. Kept hoping it would turn around....
If a new facility is built. Please have a men’s fitness area with steam and sauna.
Good selection of equipment. Clean facility. Nice pool
Polite and professional
Hi. I visited recently before work and needed to shower after class. There was a member with a well behaved large dog that was laying in the shower stall. No service animal identification. Very unacceptable but it must be allowed as it happened. Love the fitness classes and instructors are friendly and knowledgeable.
I love the men’s fitness center. Having a men’s only area with a dry sauna is absolutely wonderful. Having towels available is also one of the leading reasons to recommend the downtown Y. Without these amenities the Y would be just another gym.
Great people- top to bottom, Staff and Members! Always clean and welcoming place to get a workout in. Steam and Sauna are well kept and dependable.
People are friendly -- a home away from home
I've been a member for nearly 20 years. The men's locker room, and particularly the showers, have been in need of update and/or repair for that entire time. It only gets worse with time. While I am accustomed to it, I wouldn't recommend it to a friend looking for a workout venue. Additionally, I'm disappointed in having to provide my own shower towel. That service should be available for all members.
The kids stay busy! My daughter was sad each morning to leave me but she always came home with so many stories of all the fun she had during the day!
My YMCA experience is limited to exercising I haven't taken any classes. The workout area is clean. There is a good variety of workout equipment and it's well maintained.
I would be hesitant to recommend the men's fitness center given the decline in perks over the last few months.
Withdrawn perks which haven't affected my routine personally:
1. limitation of towel count
2. whirlpool removal
3. toilets reduced from 3 to 1
4. 3 of 8 showerheads inadequate
I am affected by the lack of climate control and the reduction of available lockers. It would be nice if the locker reduction had been accomplished with regard to the number of hooks in each locker; eliminating access to lockers with no hook followed by 1 hook, 2 hooks, 3 hooks and finally 4 hooks until the required number of lockers are made unavailable.
It causes me to wonder if further reductions in the men's fitness center experience are coming.
Very friendly, group excerise programs are tailored for your age group. And an opportunity to make new acquaintances
THIS YMCA IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN HEADQUARTERS AND YET IT LACKS SO MUCH, FIRST I DON'T THINK ITS FAIR THAT THERE IS A SEPARATE CHARGE FOR THE WOMENS LOCKER ROOM WITH THE STEAM AND SUANA, SECOND THE MAIN WOMENS LOCKER ROOM IS DISGUSTING, THE CARPET, THERE IS NO ADEQUATE PLACE FOR PRIVACY, JUST BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME SEX I STILL WOULD LIKE PRIVACY. THE SHOWERS ARE EVEN MORE DISGUSTING AGAIN NO PRIVACY, THE SHOWER HEADS ARE RUSTED BUGS IN THE SHOWER AREAS AS WELL. THE WORKOUT AREA IN BASEMENT IS NOT KEPT SANITIZED, I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY STAFF WIPING DOWN OR SANITIZING THE EQUIPMENT
I like the men’s fitness center having a steam and dry sauna that is not coed.
The setup of machines in each areas
good people/good classes reasonable pricing
Very helpful staff, and the facilities are excellent especially in light of the very reasonable cost…love the pool
The facility is old and worn
Great staff and great facilities!
