★★★★Mason Mount

Great gym with clean equipment and a friendly atmosphere. I enjoy working out here.

★★★★★Jason M.

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).

★★★★P. Doug S.

The welcome staff at the front desk were amazingly happy, energetic, and all smiles. It was really helpful to come in and be greeted by such positive energy. The one studio space was small. The pool renovations have been taking way too much time. The pool has been closed for a long time. I was told that the hold up is due to the owner of the building not working to approve its operation. Otherwise, there is a lot of available equipment and I liked this gym very much.

It’s close to where I live. The membership isn’t too expensive. The instructors are encouraging while they push you to get stronger. The equipment is functional and clean. The whole facility is kept very clean. It’s a nice gym!

★★★★★Alexandria

It’s definitely a smaller YMCA, but they make excellent use of the space afforded to them. They have several benches and a couple of squat racks. The bench racks are technically adjustable, but are the kind where there are only two or three settings so if you’re in that awkward height zone where you need to be in between two of the settings, they don’t work for you. I utilized on of the squat racks for this. Otherwise, The dumbbell selection is good and there’s a great cable pulley system. This YMCA also has your basics - chest press, leg press, etc.
