Capital YMCA

There is such a sense of community at the Y and I've made many new friends. I really appreciate the inclusivity of the Y. I love the SGT classes offered at the Capital Y - especially Pilates with Props and Dry Tri. They've been instrumental in reaching my fitness goals. I also enjoy Pilates Reformer with Tia. And last but not least, I truly appreciate how responsive the administration at the Capital Y is to member suggestions and feedback.

bad management that is rarely ever present. the front desk people are all wonderful but can do very little to help with your membership. The YMCA website portal is also almost always down for this region. Good luck getting anything resolved in a meaningful way. Will not be going back

Absolutely in love with this place! So much more than a gym. It's not so crowded that I have to wait to use the weights or machines. Plenty of floor space all throughout the facility for stretching or lifting weights in the mirror. Im rather new to working out but the staff and patrons here make me feel so comfortable, not in the least bit intimidated. If you're looking for a comfortable place with plenty of extra activities then this is the place for you!

Really nice YMCA. The staff are great. The facility is really clean and well-maintained.

Update: 06/10/25: there’s currently only one spa area open, due to the other one needing some repairs done. front desk is always super friendly. its very spacious. the athletic place before ymca took over had a sperate spa area (steam room/sauna/hot tub) for the men and women, which I preferred. now theyre both co-ed, except one is for the adults and one is "family spa". as of 02/03/25 the steam rooms arent running and the hot tubs are being worked on. theres plenty of weight and cardio equipment. the mens locker room was very spacious but a few weeks ago, they cut it in half and are utilizing the other half as a stretching area. i do wish the lockers were a little wider or the same size as the lockers in the midtown location, along with shampoo in the showers. the pool is closed at the moment. if you want coffee with their keurig machine, it is $2 a pod. they only have street parking.

I used to be a member at CAC and really enjoyed it. I recently utilized a 3-day pass at what is now the YMCA and I have mixed feelings about it. I only utilized the weight rooms. There are three weight rooms and it feels really disjointed. There aren't any TVs, background music or windows in the weight rooms downstairs. They do, however, have more than enough machines and weights to get a good workout in. BUT - be forewarned.... they do not have a stair-stepper machine. The membership fees are $70 for a single adult and there is no parking validation. In reality, with parking fees, this amount is easily more like $100+ with regular gym use. They have a pool, basketball court, and group classes, but at potentially $100+ monthly, it didn't feel like a luxury facility. The staff was just as pleasant as with CAC. It felt like the YMCA tried to separate themselves just enough from the old CAC, but I don't think it was enough. I don't mind the community feel, but I think the price point needs to come down a bit to offset the parking fees. I hope it succeeds, and hopefully there is an actual remodel of the facility. There is a lot of potential with this fitness center.

Nice gym with downtown location. Really odd and illogical weight room setup, however. Why have two rooms of weights and then upstairs there's another room of weight machines? It would make more sense to have all of the weights in one area, on one floor.
