The classes are fun. Always easier when you have a group to keep you motivated

I’ve been a member of the South Suburban Y for years. The director, Tyler, really cares about creating a comfortable atmosphere for people of all fitness levels. Hollie and the front desk crew are always welcoming me by name. I like that it isnt usually crowded. I’m not much for fitness classes but I have always enjoyed the spin classes here. I like that it is a smaller spin room so not so overwhelming. I strongly recommend joining this branch. You can visit all the branches but this is a good one to call home.

Im getting my physical therapy with Joe! He got me into the pool when my own husband couldnt. Im impressed! He has helped me, my husband, and my Dad. Keeping it in the family! Soon Ill be ready for the recumbent bike again and can get back to training for my 5k walkathon!

Really like the renovations theyve recently done. Plenty of exercise equipment to choose from and seems to be more maintained lately. Hope they keep up the good work as I really like working out here compared to other places Ive been.

South Suburban Y has an excellent and friendly staff. They provide an assortment of workout classes that will fit anyones workout needs. I love the body pump class! They have a great pool for children and adults alike. Finally they have a safe, clean, fun, and interactive day care facility for parents who want to workout! Awesome place to go!!!

We love the Southside YMCA! My youngest cant wait to go to their child watch, and my oldest loves to utilize the workout equipment. They have numerous fitness progras for all ages and abilities! We love and support the Y!

South Suburban YMCA is friendly and clean branch. Staff are welcoming and they have many opportunities for member engagement. A great place to achieve fitness goals and lift up community!

This is my go to gym for a good old Southside workout lol!I love the downtown YMCA, but this place has definitely got what you need as well!!

Was here when a staff member harassed a delivery man for leaving an item at the front counter, she kicked him off property and turns out she even called the police on the delivery man. I wont be returning to this Y ever, Im appalled at the staff members behavior, it was near psychotic.

One of the smaller Ys but employees are cool, never too busy & the pool is always warm.

Good place to work out. Quiet for the most part. It doesnt have to most up to date equipment but its a nice little gym.

All of the YMCAs in the Greater Des Moines Area provide safe and clean spaces to workout and be together in a family environment. The South Suburban YMCA is no exception. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they often have fun events for the whole family to attend such as movie nights and days focused on activities for children.

The Y South is staffed by the most attentive, caring people in Des Moines. Dont be surprised if there is a pop up soup kitchen for the underserved in the lobby. That is the very reason I pay more than I would have to at a traditional gym, I want to know my hard earned dollars are rolling over to help people in need in my community. The governments not going to do it. The rich arent going to do it. Its you and me helping out our fellow human and we happen to be getting a little bit of cardio to boot.

Was there for the food truck they kept us warm as we were waiting for are food.

I love the South Suburban YMCA! Lots to do! Swimming pool is great for the little ones!

Great place to work out. Especially before 5pm. Nice n quiet

You will achieve your healthy goal with community. I love this place.

Really impressed with the customer experience of this facility. They are so much more than a gym, offering so many services to their community!

I did an event for ARL in parking g lit so I cannot speak about the actual Y.

We are participating in an exercise class for older adults and Chista is a top quality instructor. I have noticed improvement in my physical shape in just a few weeks.

Great place we take our students there once a month they really enjoy it

Love the Y. It is a community, not just a gym. Lots to do for people of all ages.

Great place to work out, lots of things to do from swimming to aerobics. Great environment.

We went for a birthday party and they had a nice sized room for the party and the restorooms were close for the kids to run back and forth. The staff was friendly. The entire building could use some updating.

All access gym...group fitness, pool, daycare for members-hours are convenient for the early birds and the not so early birds (me)

Its a great place to workout and make friends at the staff n the place aint that great but its a place to workout

Good place for a community and friendly people.

I was Y member for more than 2 years- I will never go back to SOUTH side Des Moines YMCA, because two ladies at receptionist desk didn’t let me work out on November 18th, just because my monthly payment was not taken and I wasn’t aware of it. I drive 10 miles to get to jym and I ask if I can work out today because I didn’t know my payment wasn’t taken, and requested them that I can pay tomarrow because I usually don’t carry my wallet to gym.They just denied my request and didn’t let me workout atleast one day. I just feel bad for those socially uneducated ladies in front desk . That should learn more to evaluate the situation and act upon it, instead of being denial. I have a record of helping their manager one day to get all stuff from truck to inside the hall in hot weather for atleast 1 hr. BYE ..BYE YMCA. Educate those ladies please!!!

Just a visitor. Nice setting.

I love comeing here mostly 2 social with my best friends! Ive had like 5 birthday partys here and Ive been comeing here when I was only 4 and I still come!

Great parking and pool. Lockers and locker room were clean. Friendly staff.

Nice and quiet, lots of equipment. Machines are a little old, but cant beat it for the price.

I work to work out here the staff is great

The swimming times shouldnt be at 8 o clock to 9 o clock it should be from 6 o clock to 9:30? Dont YoU tHiNk?
