Powered by GoogleClean and straightforward. Plenty of sanitary wipes to wipe off the well maintained equipment. This is one of the ONLY YMCAs with a working steam room and sauna! Gyms with steam are rare in LA, so I appreciate that. The staff is friendly and overall it's a solid gym.
This is my main location. Front staff is welcoming and friendly. Lap pool is available for 30 min and 60 min reservations. They max out 3 people per lane, but I've only experienced that once. The weight machine room can get busy after work, but it's manageable. But I do my best to go during lunch instead. LOL
My favorite gym. Quaint and always clean. The staff/instructors are the nicest ppl you will ever meet. I love yoga with JoJo, water aerobics w/ Leslie/Ming/Janet and cycling w/ Ruben. Highly highly recommended.
Great facility! The pool is indoors and heated. It is 3 and 1/2 feet throughout so it is perfect for laps or the water fitness class that is M-F at 10am.
Probably the best YMCA ever. You take the elevator to the roof so you will not deal with too many homeless. Most days there are no homeless in this area. They open at 5:30. I wish they open at 5 but still a great time to open so you can work out and head to work after. Great equipment!!
