Grateful that there's a Y in this small town. The place is friendly, and most of the equipment is in good working order. The men's steam room is awesome: gets hot n steamy in just a couple minutes. The sauna has the potential to be a good experience, but I've never seen a sauna room that takes so long to get heated up. We're talking 2 or 3 hours to reach Palm Springs temps (115 degrees-ish), so if you're there for the sauna, don't come in early enough that you're the first to turn it on or you'll lose half the day waiting for it to get above 125 degrees, which is still low for a sauna and is the hottest I've ever seen it... read full review

Stopped here for a quick workout and shower while passing through Elkins – Tim was very nice and helpful in getting me setup as a visitor and pointing me in the right direction. He even searched around for a towel for me. Thanks Tim!

Growing up in Elkins we always had the Y to go to. I remember it always being old and dark. I moved back to Elkins two months ago and I was impressed with the transformation of the gym. Everything had new lighting. There are new rooms for different gym classes that you can take. My husband and I decided to join and it was a good choice. I do think the gym equipment does need to be updated though.
