Lindsay Young Downtown YMCA

This is probably the best YMCA I’ve ever been too. I came in town for a few days and happened to be staying down the road. They found my account, gave a tour, and provided all the resources I needed to include making a photo copy of class schedules and contact information. Tons of equipment and amenities. Hats off to the staff!

I worked out here during my 2.5 years in Knoxville and loved it. Little bit of an older looking gym but it has all the equipment you need, including my fav the basketball courts. One of the few gyms with a steam room. The staff are very friendly and foster a welcoming environment for everyone working out. Little pricey but worth it if you work out consistently. I highly recommend.

The equipment is nice, and the sauna is nice, however the level of cleanliness is concerning. More specifically the locker rooms feel as tho they are never cleaned. the showers often have trash in/around them, the sauna often has a puddle of mysterious brown liquid in the middle of it, and the floors look as tho they have never seen a mop/vacuum.

Overall, this is a pretty good gym. It definitely does not have the newest, most state-of-the-art equipment, but it has enough to get a high-quality workout in. All of the staff I have encountered are extremely nice and helpful; they greet and welcome you as you walk in. Even though the building is very old, the interior is cleaner than you would probably expect. The layout is a bit awkward, as others have mentioned. My main complaint would be that the gym constantly feels like it is over 76°.. you pretty much start sweating as soon as you get moving.

I love this! Y... Very very clean facility, well organized. Very friendly people and staff. I will definitely go back. I appreciate having the membership director take me on a guided tour around the facility. Everything is so clean and well organized. Plus the history of the building is absolutely amazing. Thank you for all you do.

One of the best places to work out. This place is irreplaceable.

I love the unique throwback atmosphere of this YMCA. The building is teeming with character which I can not say about any other gym I have visited. It is defiantly worth visiting at least once.
