About Downtown YMCA
The Downtown YMCA has received mixed reviews. Some customers have expressed disappointment with recent renovations, stating that the women's area is now much smaller. The lack of a pool at this location has also been a point of frustration for members, especially those who walked a significant distance in hot weather only to find this out. However, other customers have praised the YMCA's size, friendly front desk staff, and ample equipment. The main parking attendant has been criticized for rudeness and poor handling of traffic. It has been suggested that the YMCA remove outdated photos of pools from their website to avoid misleading potential members.
I really like this Y location - great size, nice front desk staff, and communicates well given all the construction happening around it. Even when it’s packed parking isn’t really an issue, and there’s lots of equipment to choose from. My only complaint is there used to be a really friendly parking attendant - smiling, always greeting and keeping an eye on things. The new main parking attendant is consistently rude, not good at directing people when traffic in and out gets heavy, and seems overall to just not enjoy her job. I know everyone has bad days but it sets the tone of entering the gym and the previous attendant was much friendlier.
While I'm sure what is left of the Ymca at this location is fine but,, there is no pool at This Location. This information would have been more helpful before we walked a mile and a half there... and back in 90+ degree heat. The photos are still on their website for Pools that no longer exist. It would be helpful and more accurate to remove those photos so you don't mislead people in the future. Eric T. Hogan
UPDATE!!!!!! The Downtown Y will be under construction tentatively for the next two years to expand and make it more accommodating to the growth of Nashville. Unfortunately, during this time my favorite amenities have been suspended the chapel, pool, sauna, and steam room. The temporary female locker room has relocated off the main wellness floor and is much smaller but doable. Group fitness rooms A and B have not been impacted however; the cycling studio has moved to a smaller space off the track on the fourth floor. Staff ensures that the facility stays clean and offers assistance on updates and changes as needed.
