Downtown YMCA - Colorado Springs, Colorado

It has been three years since I came to the gym. As you can imagine I felt pretty overwhelmed. Where should I start? Will my body Remember how to navigate the space without feeling pain and mental overwhelm. Lucky for me I walked into a safe space filled with welcoming faces and an environment that was fresh, affordable and offered a gentle way to start. It just so happened I walked into a free promotional month called Fitness New Year bingo, so instead of being an overwhelmed and scared returning gym enthusiast, I just picked a square and went for it. Little by little I found myself accomplishing mileage on the treadmill, doing diverse weight exercises, swimming 1000 meters in a heated pool, and laughing away my stress on the court playing pickle ball with the locals. Thank you Chris K, Elaina, the kind custodial team, and all the folks that everyday choose YMCA and help create this motivational, fun and non stress environment.

Is a great Y- I assumed it would be tiny because of location, but it is big and has a variety of activities from multiple pools to sports courts, to childcare and of course with huge work out room. Work out room is on basement, but it is well lit and cares for. There are also tables to get some work done in a sunny hall in the back. Great location, will keep coming back. Ps- also nice how walkable it is.. it’s right next to Acacia park- see images. But great to go to y and then take the kiddos on a stroller ride downtown.

I used to love this place. I was willing to pay more than other fitness clubs because of the community. However, they recently decided to eliminate Les Mills group exercise classes without any input from members or instructors. There will be a mass exodus of high quality instructors. In addition, they decided to raise member rates. They’re already way more expensive than VASA. Their membership costs simply aren’t justifiable anymore.

Fun time and friends at the Downtown YMCA!
I had a wonderful experience at the Downtown YMCA! Janet's water aerobics classes seem to create a supportive and friendly environment that fosters both recovery and fitness. This welcoming community, made me feel like part of a tight-knit group. Hopefully I will have the chance to return to those classes in the future when life allows it. The connections and friendships formed were truly special.

I was a member Downtown YMCA for 3 months while I was living in Colorado Springs and absolutely loved it! It has a great range of equipment, exceptionally well maintained, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. I trained there 6 days a week until I returned to Australia (I wish i was still training there!).

I’m highly disappointed in the director, Nessa who made my 10 year old and I feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome on his first visit by arguing with me about the membership. I was told I didn’t need one but had to be with him as long as I don’t use the equipment or amenities. So why have great staff to sell memberships and have terrible management to run people off and offer cancellations of memberships on their first visit? Looks like you need a better director!!

This is a good local YMCA, it’s located in Downtown Colorado Springs. The staff is very friendly and ready to offer assistance when needed. I only used the pool and locker room area, those facilities definitely met my workout needs. The overall facility was a little outdated, but good for a workout.

Sanaa and Fernando are the freaking best! Their smiles always brighten my day and they are the two most helpful front desk people at ANY YMCA in town!
