Duluth Area Family YMCA

★Matthew Gibson

This Fencing program is ridiculous. The only reason I started coming back here was for the heavy bag and because my, insurance covers a free pass. If I could work full time and not have a mental breakdown after it. I would. But I can't. That's why I wanted to come here. This Fencing class has just made me want to quit coming here. Thanks for that!!!!

Weight room is hot and humid. Fans are never on and don't have a way to do so besides 2, which you have to be tall for. I've mentioned it a few times to staff and suggestion box nothing changed. Hermantown y is nicer- cooler, more equipment, and better parking without having to worry about paying.

I love the YMCA they are amazing. Truth is it's the only place in this community that I feel welcomed. They are always very kind and the staff have went out of there way to invite me into events going on at the YMCA which really means a lot

This is a great facility with great staff. There have been no cleanliness issues when I have been there, as mentioned in some other reviews. The locker rooms are tidy, the pool is spotless. The second floor features some fantastic equipment and a lot of variety. I have also really enjoyed the Gentle Yoga with Natalie and the Fitness Yoga with Kristin.

Nice enough but not great accessibility. First off the street location Duluth has let fall apart the sidewalks and road are desperate need of repair. The handicap parking doesn’t have an access aisle for unloading wheelchairs and you feel very unsafe exiting your vehicle into traffic especially as a wheelchair user. The meters can’t be fed from a wheelchair without severe contortions. Duluth city is determined to make it difficult for the disabled community to access anything. The entrance into the facility is a turnstile which isn’t at all wheelchair accessible but the staff will let you in the exit swing away gate. There is an elevator to 4/5 floors, however if you wanted to book a private workout, rock climb or play racquetball it’s stairs very disappointing. However on the 2nd floor there is a hand cycle you can pull out the seat and roll chair into adjustable height for the pedals. A recumbent elipitical which you can lock your feet into place on and use your arms to make it move most of the equipment is spaced far enough out you can get in and around with exceptions to some of the areas on the second floor. I haven’t used the pools or locker rooms yet but a cursory glance looks accessible and the indoor track on the 3rd floor is a lot of fun however they didn’t have wheelchairs in mind and it is evident with a steep camber at each turn it’s also a ridiculously small track 1/16th a mile but it is a smooth flooring and I enjoyed myself. Overall I liked the facility very clean with amiable staff.
