This older gym has some truly community minded staff members, instructors, and patrons. It may not be the shiniest YMCA in the area but it has awesome amenities like a pool, sauna, large showers with piping hot water, and fun classes. If you live near here, or are visiting the area, and want a place away from home that makes you feel welcomed, come in here!

I go to the ymca on the weekends and the customer service at the front desk is horrific. Only way to safely use the ymca is to put on blinders, pretend to be invisible and not talk to anyone at the front desk or anywhere else for that matter. Bad vibes and NOT welcoming.

Lifeguards didnt show up today so the pool is closed. With membership fees of nearly $100 this is unacceptable . Reception staff didnt care and couldnt tell me when the pool would be reopened. I dont think this center is run as well as others in Seattle.

Nice people, good classes. Home away from home.

If you come to expect there to be functioning TVs to watch while you work out on cardio equipment, this is not your gym. Over the last two years this has been a chronic problem. The TVs will be down for weeks at a time and at best 3 out of 5 machines will be working. If you want to feel petty about asking why this basic amenity that every gym in America manages to provide but cannot be managed at this location, go ask the front desk. Other than this issue, I dont mind that the facility is a bit old and not sparkly and new. I find the staff to be rather friendly. I like the YMCA as an organization and try to make it to the West Seattle location instead, it is much nicer and better maintained.

Wonderful people great classes and Facilities

Great classes! I love how welcoming and friendly to everyone the staff is. Just a great neighborhood little gem/gym.

I like this place, but I agree with other reviewers, staff is generally lackadaisical regarding cleanliness of the facility. I’ve submitted several complaints (verbal and electronically m) over the last 12 months yet the cardio equipment upstairs continues to be covered in dust and hair a majority of the time. The windows are nailed shut and therefore all that disgusting debris circulates around the room via various fans and it’s flat out gross to work out in. I may just be venting here but perhaps this could encourage other people to speak out in order to promote a healthier exercise environment for all.

Been going here for years and I will continue to do so.

Great staff, nice gym. Family friendly. Patrick carr who is one of the managers is a well mannered, very respectful of all the Gym users.

The staff needs to clean the gyms theyre way too dirty. You can smell and feel the old sticky sweat and dirt on the equipment. They seem a little lazy.

Very pissed my friend willam Anderson is deaf and hearing no reason very rude idiot

Friendly staff and people, affordable membership rates.

Love the pool here, even though the female locker room is old and sometimes creepy

Highly Important for anyone in FOSTER CARE or TRANSITIONING OUT to come here to get FREE SERVICES to help with LIVING INDEPENDENTLY. RENT ASSISTANCE, COLLEGE VOUCHERS, HEALTH CARE REFERRALS, CLOTHES, SHELTERS, ETC. This place is Awesome! Espresso shop downstairs, Treehouse program on 1st floor, has clothing. They take donations of clothes & infant through young adult items. There is an awesome treehouse upstairs that has glass floor to look down onto ground floor & very clever bird houses hanging from ceiling. Great place for teens & young adults to hang out to network & socialize, work on job skills, resume, issues bothering them, etc. Case managers are there to help work out obstacles.

Locker thefts, unscheduled and unposted to closures meaning you show up when they should be open, but theyre f****** closed... Oh and theres nothing posted to let you know that theyre closed...

The hot shower is so great after sports! Friendly staff!

Not one complaint!

Fun place for exercise.
