Downtown Boise YMCA

"It's a pretty good place. But today the two ladies at the front desk were a bit rude. I've been dealing with my own stuff and it really just put a damper on my mood for the rest of the day. Im doing my best , I don't need rude staff to make me feel more down . ."

"I think the Y means well and they do a lot for the community. However I just can’t handle the weight room and it’s lack of equipment for people to use. Always crowded with loud teenagers who have no gym etiquette whatsoever. I’m glad they have a place to go but my workouts take an hour and half when they should take an hour because I’m waiting for 3 kids to finish with a machine while they joke around between sets. I will say, I had an incident in the locker room with a man who acted completely inappropriate and made me uncomfortable and the staff handled it so well and professionally and made sure I was ok. Overall good gym. I am grateful they gave me a scholarship when I lost my job and the staff are great but something has to be done about the kids and lack of equipment in the weight room."

"I came here to play volleyball, expecting that they would include it along with all of the other sports they have access to here. There is not one volleyball court or any other space to play volleyball besides being jammed in a tiny little racquetball room. They also don’t supply any volleyballs, even though they supply basketballs and other sports equipment. Nobody plays racquetball… Get rid of those awful rooms and put in some volleyball courts for crying out loud."

"I just love the staff here and the instructors of the swim fit classes, there are so many classes to choose from and all different levels of difficulty and time of day to fit anyone's schedule. I would recommend it for the older or out of shape people tring to get back to it that can't do treadmill and harder exercise bikes , Aqua fitness was a good fit for me , thank you YMCA"

"Our whole family attended the Christmas run. It was well created and attended. They offered good shirts, okay gloves, and passable food. It was very packed. On their route they periodically stopped the runners to let cars through the route, which is not ideal for a timed race or for pacing. It wasn't very expensive and was meant more for fun, so it was all good."
