Downtown Richmond YMCA

Very nice clean sanitary YMCA, helpful staff and great location. Took my babies here to use the pool.

Everyone is very friendly, and it is not an intimidating space.The personal training staff is wonderful. Kudos to Anthony Guthridge for his professionalism, expertise and friendliness. He is always prepared with workouts tailored to my specific goals, and he is excellent at explaining the how's and why's of each exercise.

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.

Very friendly staff and they seem to be making rapid progress on some major renovations, which I’m sure will make this branch even better than it already is!

First time at a Y and I’m impressed with what you get for the price! I also appreciate the price tiers. So far I am loving the pool and the many gym areas. Hope to join one of the free classes soon!

I love the brick/historical feel of the place. The inner courtyard brings me to another time, every time. And the racquetball courts, it is the only place near me I can find them!

I like the whole atomsphere,weights and people and staff very respectful.A great place to be a member.

It’s a great location with a wonderful staff and awesome equipment.

Lots of classes and tons of different gyms full of well maintained equipment for whatever workout you need to do. The facility is clean and the locker rooms are well maintained. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. There is ample parking both in the front lot across the street and behind the building.

I love this place, it's small but has all the equipment I need even for lifting. Staff are super nice and friendly, I'd never go to another commercial gym after this one

This is a great gym - small but has all of the equipment you need for a good workout. Very clean and staff is super friendly/helpful. Hours are limited but they plan to expand them now that more people are coming back to the office. I love it there!

We love this gym. Staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. This was our first time taking our 7 month old daughter anywhere and dropping her off, the staff in the kids center were awesome made us feel super comfortable about leaving her in their care. The gym itself is huge and clean.

This is one of the best and most inclusive gyms in Richmond. The Body pump class is changing my life and I love the energy that the instructors bring.

Really clean and nice facility. Plenty of programs to choose from and all the equipment in the work-out areas looked new. Staff has all been very pleasant and friendly. We did the children's learn to swim class and it was delightful. The male locker rooms are very confusing... its like a labyrinth of corridors, but not worth taking off a star for.

Great place, great equipment with tons of stack AND plate loaded machines, dumbbells up to 100lbs and plenty of treadmills, elliptical, stair masters, etc

I usually go to the Shady Grove branch as it is closer to my home, but my daughter had camp last week near downtown. I loved the branch and found everyone to be helpful and kind. I navigated easily around the gym and did everything from use the sauna to strength training to cardio to using the lounge to work. I walked around and the old posters and history of the building were also really cool to see. You have a great feel to your branch, and I hope to return soon.

I really like the gym and the swimming pool, steam room and sauna. It really is amazing that the YMCA offers so many activities for youths. I will be enrolling both my girls (5 and 14) in summer sports and camps . Thank you for having the option as well for reduced cost memberships and programs. That assistance really helps a lot of families that cannot afford full price but, really want the same opportunities for their family. I love the Y and support what it stands for. Thanks again for being such an important part of all communities. #KEEPUPTHEGREATWORK

Have been a member for 15+ years. A consistent part of my fitness regimen.

Had a great the steam room and the sauna and it was perfect. The showers were quite small but doable. I didn't use the work oh facility but appreciated that the sauna was clean. The steam room smelled like piss so id recommend the staff to check in there often.

The yoga instructors are stellar, and very committed to their students’ development. I tell all my friends interested in beginning or developing a yoga practice to try the Y!
