Downtown Belleville YMCA - Kern Center

We have been members of the Y off and on for many years. Sometimes it's busy and doesn't fit our schedule, but when it does, there is so much to offer! Downtown is clean, friendly staff, a variety of classes, a sauna, walking track, and a full range of equipment. My son loves the rock wall and pool and has started using the gym as well.

My journey has been so wonderful since I joined the YMCA. I give a 5 star to Marvin and Carl for helping me achieve my goals

It is the best exercise place of our area. In fact, this place is clean, the workers are chill, and the seats are comfortable. The most important thing is that there is free Wi-Fi. The exercise treadmills also provide television… sometimes. Anyways, this place is awesome for having a healthy body.

A clean, safe place for anyone to feel welcome being active. An anchor in old downtown Belleville. This place does a great job of feeling like a community. Also, Abe Lincoln swam here (practically).

People are friendly and respectful. They keep the facilities clean and generally well maintained. There are a few maintenance items that need attention but that is expected. I would like the mask mandate to be enforced with the current health situation.

The childcare here is amazing, they are so patient and kind with my teething baby and really make me feel like getting time to myself is important. There’s not much space to stretch out and do individual workouts, but they have lots of really good machines. Facility is clean and the rest of the staff is always smiling and greeting everybody with a smile and wishing you a great day as you leave, other branches out here don’t measure up to the downtown Belleville one.

Pretty good facilities. They've upgraded a lot recently. Showers are often mildewy but they offer great classes, a good basketball court to shoot hoops and a good variety of cardio and weight machines in the gym. Child care is nice with friendly workers, though I wish they cleaned the toys more often. My little ones always get sick in there and winter is a trampoline of going a couple days then staying home a week worth sick kids. Builds up the immunities, right?

My son (4yrs old) and I just transferred from Club Fitness where we were paying $20/mo. We pay more here ($70/mo for our entire household which allows me to add my boyfriend for no additional cost). I love the amenities here including the pool, sauna, and gym. My son loves the kids area and his new YMCA swimming instructors!

We love this YMCA - all the employees are always friendly. And the childcare facility workers are always welcoming to my child. I feel confident leaving my child in their care. My family also enjoys the various programs offered. This is a great facility!

Very clean and the staff members are ALWAYS friendly and helpful!

Great staff! Plenty of options for exercise or just recreation. With 3 kids it's great to have peace of mind when we use the childcare services while my wife and I work out. Would highly recommend!

My daughter and I love going to that downtown Belleville YMCA! The staff there is very helpful, and she always has fun with the other kids in their child care service while I’m using the gym. Edith’s Saturday morning Zumba class is one of the best parties around! So much fun.

I called the Dowtown Belleville YMCA to inquire if daily passes could be purchased, as I am an out-of-state visitor in the area for a few days. The lady that I spoke with was incredibly kind and informed me that I could use two passes at no charge. How awesome is that?! I went today for the step aerobics class and everyone I encountered--from Harriet at the front desk to the class instructor to the fellow class participants--was super-friendly and helpful. There was plenty of parking and the facility looked clean and well-maintained. Thanks, Downton Belleville YMCA for making my day! I will be back to try out another class with the second pass.

I enjoy working out in this facility. It's clean and I'm always greeted with a smile. The ladies the work at the front counter even greeted me by name. The staff is lovely and very helpful!

COLLEEN IS THE BEST PERSONAL TRAINER!
She works you hard but pays attention to what you can do...and she changes it up so I don't get bored. I have never stuck with an exercise routine as long as I have this time. Appointments with her keep me coming to the gym!

I have been working out at the down town belleville YMCA for over two years now. When I first moved into the area I looked at all the gyms in the area. The only one that resonated with me was the Down Town Belleville Y. I loved the people who work there. They are always welcoming and helpful. The people who work out at the gym are friendly as well! The variety of people who work out there made it a good fit for me... it is an environment I feel anyone would feel comfortable in. People of all walks of life and fitness goals come to the Y.

One of my most memorable memories of the my YMCA family is when I was weeks away from donating a kidney to a dear friend of mine. Finances were an issue. I would be out of work for over a month. My mom and dad were coming up from California to take care of me. That also ment my mom and dad would be out of work as well. I spoke to Lenex about the issue and he helped me out. My family was able to use my membership and work out for that month at the YMCA with no extra charge to me. I love that my YMCA family supports me in times of need. When I was finally able to start exercising again it aas encouraging to hear "we missed you". Hearing those types of kind words helped me transition back to my routines and work on my recovery at the Y. Thank you Downtown Belleville YMCA!

Complete gym with very nice, new equipment. Everything is clean including the bathroom, showers, and locker area. The staff is very friendly and helpful, i would recommend this place to anyone and i do regularly.

We just recently signed up again, and the front desk gentleman was extremely patient and answered all of my questions. Fantastic experience. I'm amazed how clean the YMCA is given all the people who use the facility daily.

Small but great fitness center. Wish the cardio and weight room were switched but you can make it work.

I love coming here to workout. Everyone is so friendly and the establishment is always clean. They make you feel welcomed as soon as you walk through the door.
