I really enjoy Aoife O' Sullivans Boot camp and Body Sculpt classes. She always offers a variety of exercises and switches the routines to keep it interesting. She also offers modifications for each of the exercises presented. She is kind and encouraging of all. I wish when Aoife or any other instructor is unavailable to teach the class that a substitute could be found to cover rather than cancel.

The gym is very well-equipped for the cost of membership—the staff is friendly and responsive. IMO, the combination of facilities/equipment, location, and cost makes the Downtown YMCA the best option for strength training in the city (if you're not a student or employee at VCU).

I love how much y'all have to offer, and the new pool will be a great added feature!

I love the Y community buu feel like the main equipment floor is way too crowded with the addition of free weights while a lot of space on the east side of the building past the life cycle machines is wasted empty space or unused staff areas. We were promised pool access in May of 2025, then "summer," then September. It was filled late in the year, life guards were recruited and then crickets. No reduction in monthly dues but 18 months without the pool. Communication has bern very poor throughout thus entire process, leaving the staff to unfairly field complaints. Do better.

It is easy to sign up. I like most of the programs. I don't have to like everything :)

It's all about the facility......and just as importantly, about the people (employees).

I would like to know when the pool will open. Even if you don’t know, you should give some updates rather than saying nothing.
