Duluth Area Family YMCA

"What can I say! Love it! I just found out about the lower level of this place yesterday! Here is a quick summary- weight room with every stationary machine you can imagine, basketball court, racket ball courts, climbing wall, pool, sauna, track, yoga, and more! Can't say enough"

"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."

"I have recently joined the Downtown YMCA and it has honestly exceeded my expectations. My favorite part about it is that it hasn't been that busy when I've gone. I feel like I can find a space for me to focus on myself which is wonderful. I would love to look into their programming as well at some point."

"I love the staff and how they have treated me with such kindness.! This place is also known for a "safe place" as well.! I remember getting an o.f.p. on my abuser, and one day he walked in, and the desk n other staff called the police, not only he was removed, but he was band off the property! I love how big the locker rooms are, the pool is awesome, and the gym equipment is nice as well.!"

"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."
