The Y makes me feel like I literally have an extended family of people who are there to help improve me physically and mentally and are always extremely polite and professional whenever I have an issue at the gym. Hands down the best gym Ive ever been to.

-Towel service. -Not really having to worry about people stealing my things-Central location-Diversity of the staff-Care for those in need (homeless, hungry, etc.)

I love the Y. The staff are always very kind and helpful.The downtown location is the more intimidating YMCAs though because there are a lot of really in shape younger people lol. Everyone is nice though ya know.When you buy a membership you get access to all the YMCAs in Middle TN for only $40 bucks. You really cant beat that.Oh, and they have an awesome steam room, pool, sauna, and well equipped weight room and other stuff I havent explored.

It’s a nice gym... but for 700,000+ population there needs to be more squat racks, cable setups, and weight equipment in general. You will spend a lot of time wasted standing around waiting to do a certain exercise or skipping it entirely unless you want to hover and annoy someone or be annoyed by someone hovering because there isn’t enough equipment. If you like cardio, get after it because there is dozens and dozens of cardio machines. Not the best Y set up I’ve seen, but what they do have is of good quality. Overall, a disappointing gym though.

Friendly staff, great basketball gym.

Love this place! I really love the downtown atmosphere, the facility is so nice and big! Very clean. Friendly staff.

Great place to stay fit while practicing safety precautions. Hope to see some new faces there and talk real estate! @tiffsellstn

I absolutely love the Y. I was intimidated at first but now it feels like a second home. The staff are so incredibly kind and helpful. Ive tried classes and have always had a great experience. There is a wide variety of equipment an it always feel kept up well. They have done a wonderful job making the gym feel safe and clean during the Covid-19 pandemic. If youre looking for a gym where you feel comfortable, accepted, and pushed to do you best, the Y is for you!

Your team members are the most courteous and kind that I have ever come across having been a member of many gyms in my life.

I swim 3-4 times a week & love the Downtown Y. The pool & dressing rooms & showers are spotless & I enjoy the ‘adult’ nature of this Y. It’s my kind of facility! Great job!

Convenience, clean, petition between equipment & sanitizer bottles

The Y management has bent over backwards to encourage use of the handball/racquetball courts. Much appreciated.

Outstanding operation, definitely not what you would expect from a YMCA.

Nothing to knock you off your seat. However, with the scarcity of gyms in the Nashville metro area this one is considered one of the better ones. The best part about this gym is the location and the open space. They have been skimming down on the equipment in the past month for some reason.

The staff is always cheerful and friendly, and the facility is always clean and well kept. I’ve worked out here for over 2 years and couldn’t be happier

This is hands down the best YMCA Ive been to. The building is obviously pretty old, but other than that this is a top notch facility. Reminds me of my University gym, all youre missing is a rock wall. Great to work into your routine if youre a downtown worker, you can even get your shoes shined here!

I had a really bad experience with some supplements I had taken this YMCA went above and beyond to try to help me and support me I’m so grateful for their care and support. They have a wonderful staff

Awesome Staff, members and gym!

Been a member for many years. All of the locations are clean, they have friendly staff and there a lot of options for free weights and machines.

The downtown YMCA is fantastic- the equipment is regularly updated and the facility is clean, bright and open. The group fitness class schedule is pretty extensive and they often try new options, to keep it fresh. Love this place!

I love the Downtown Y! It has a consistently positive atmosphere, from the staff at the door who greet you with a smile at 5am, to the fellow members on the gym floor who stop for a chat. The Y is really about community, which takes it a step above the standard gym experience. Also, they provide towels and that is apparently no longer the norm at most gyms. You get access to great classes and resources such as personal training and nutrition experts. And there’s a massage therapy professional in the same building! What more could you ask for?

Great facility. Visited for first time in last week and several times since. Lucky to have two great locations (this one and Green Hills) so close to home. Great, friendly staff. Cant recommend highly enough.

Big shout out to Angie and her team for helping me today!! You all were so engaging and friendly. Customer service at its best!

I Enjoy The Olympic Size Pool .. Many Other YMCAS Dont Offer This. Free Coffee & Tea For Only Customers To Warm You Up For Workout.Steam Sauna & Dry Sauna .. No Whirlpool But Have Every Else.Parking Across Street And And Close To Bus Line.Childrens Play Area With Supervisor While You Work Out.Does Accept Silver Sneakers Or Silver Fit. 😊

This is the nicest Y in Nashville. It has a rooftop pool, complimentary towels, steam room, sauna, good classes and it’s clean. Parking is a little tricky if you don’t want to spring for their pay lot.

By far the best gym while I was visiting. Has all the equipments and machines you need to get a great workout not to mention the amenities to enjoy afterwards. Cheap day passes too along with professional staff. Definitely recommend this gym to anyone thats close to downtown or visiting Nashville.

Outstanding facility, clean, modern, well-designed, in a great location. The management and staff are friendly, professional, and responsive to feedback. The personal trainers are outstanding and the maintenance crew keep the equipment in working order. This Y is a great asset for Nashville.

We are living in Nashville temporarily (downtown) & decided to join this gym. Our experience has been amazing. The entire location is pristine & up to date. Every staff member we have ever interacted with has been very friendly & helpful. Our favorite aspect though is the childcare area- our 6 year old stays with the staff while we workout (5 to 6 times a week) & all of the people in there are amazing! She has so much fun with them that she actually gets mad when we come to pick her up, and she asks each day what time we are heading there. It makes things so much easier on us when we can workout with a clear mind, knowing she is in good hands. We really love this place and recommend it to everyone.

One of the best workout facilities in the Nashville area. They have all ties of workout equipment from weights to machines to treadmills. They have multiple of every type of machine so there is very rarely a wait The downtown YMCA also offers childcare options for up to 2 hours per day if you are a parent who wants a safe environment for your children while you workout. The only downside is parking passes are $9 a month and there isnt really any free public parking.

Beautiful facility; great parking; great staff and convenient hours. Best Y I have ever worked out at (over 30+ years)

Very overrated, and always overcrowded, regardless of what time of day you go.To make it worse, you pay extra for the privilege of parking in their covered garage.However, in both the afternoon and evening, the garage is always full. As is the overflow parking lot 75% of the time.They purposely promote and push the covered garage parking, knowing full well that theres not enough room to accommodate the passes they are selling.You generally have to wait in a line, for a lengthy amount time to use the equipment as it is always in use.Aa far as the pool goes, apparently the rooftop heated pool is closed beginning in September.And the indoor pool is nowhere near big enough to accommodate the sheer amount of people who want to use it.This place is definitely not worth the price you have to pay to go to it. It causes too many frustrations trying to get in and use anything.

The facility is awesome including equipment that stays in good shape or is repaired quickly. Movies were lame as they were mostly drama or bad comedy, but are getting more action. Employees are all very nice and helpful.

Very clean, parking costs $5, nice staff. None of this really mattered though because of major safety issues. I never trust the lifeguards and neither should you. During a 1 hour swim, 50% of the lifeguards were visible texting on their phones while being the ONLY lifeguard at the pool (my guest and I could clearly see their phones). It didnt matter if there were struggling children in the water, the phones were hidden between their guard tubes and body with eyes on the screen.

I love the Y! Its different now with Covid but I can feel the flower slowly opening back up again. The pool is amazing.. with social distancing in place of course. The womens locker room is quite spacious with lots of lockers, stools, showers, make up lighting... etc. All the amenities youd need. For classes my favorite is the Yoga! Looking forward to in - person once that resumes.

Larry Baker is a fantastic trainer. He is very knowledgeable and motivating. I highly recommend him.

My PCP referred me to this YMCA location for the St. Thomas Medical Partners Outpatient Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy department. I spoke to Ms. Lisa, the Secretary for this facility. She was very compassionate, knowledgeable & provided helpful information for me to get started with the process. She handled my insurance information on my behalf & upon my arrival for the 1st session, greeted me with a warm smile & welcome!I was assigned to Andy, The best therapist there. He was attentive, professional, polite & definitely helped me to feel so much better within 8 sessions!The environment is great, clean & well equipped for good & productive therapy sessions. It’s housed within the downtown YMCA. If you’re looking for a good physical therapy Team of caring & compassionate physical therapists & front office staff, consider this location. You’ll be glad you did & you’ll feel so much better as a result!

Im impressed with the facility. The locker rooms are clean and modern. The pool is a great size (and usually empty) and the Wellness Center is never even close to busy when I arrive (between 830 and 11 am). Y Play hours are reasonable and the care seems great for my 2 year old. Im glad I joined this YMCA.

This place is my favorite workout spot. Love the energy and staff over there. Best of all, they have towels! Love the bible verses on walls and in basket at reception. Wish they brought the eucalyptus oil spray back to the steam room.

I joined this YMCA 2 months ago I dont know what magic it has I will keep going here..I dont like going other gyms.this gym has a very great ambience well equipped with all weights & machines to get ripped,but the only tough part for me is sometimes there is a little waiting time for squats&bench press machines😄.after your workout you can choose some chocolate drinks& variety of Teas at free of cost,I would specailly like to mention that staff was very well trained they use to keep y always as clean as possible....if youre reading this just join this Y.Trust me you will never miss one day being lazy😎

Excellent facility with great staff, equipment and fitness classes. Rooftop pool also a plus. As a shift worker with irregular hours, my only wish is for longer (weekend) hours. Otherwise, its everything I need in a gym.

Got it all. I play raquetball and the faculties are excellent. Terry Davis is the Y pro. He has a small well stocked pro shop and does restringing. He also offers lessons that are very beneficial. Terry is very active and puts on regular leagues and tournaments. Highly recommended.

Stopped in here for a workout while on holidays. AMAZING FACILITY!! One of the best fitness centres I’ve been to. Lots of equipment that I haven’t seen.The hidden gem was the rooftop pool to grab some rays and relax as our hotel didn’t have a pool.If you need a break from Broadway and want to sweat out some of the sin, check in here for a workout!

I just joined The Y recently, and it is a really wonderful facility. I would say most of the staff are warm and welcoming. There is rarely a wait time for equipment use. The locker room is large and has a sauna and steam room. My only complaint is, I didnt get a tour when I first signed up. This makes navigating the facility kind of difficult. Its a large building with many amenities, but I don’t know where half of them are unfortunately.

Best gym I have ever been to! We came here whilst visiting Nashville and it has the best facilities from gym to changing rooms and had an in and outdoor pool! Very flash! Highly recommend!

Do not waste your time here. You will spend more time looking for a parking spot than actually working out. Your options are street parking (no chance during peak times) and they offer a parking garage for an extra 12 bucks a month but that often fills up and then you’re just SOL. Equipment is decent; not near as nice or as many options as Green Hills Y. Do yourself a favor and make the extra drive to the East Nashville or Green Hills facilities. It will be worth it.

Over two months ago, I requested a personal trainer from this facility. I still have not been assigned one, and communication with the coordinator has been intermittent at best. For a facility that touts accessibility to wellness, this is incredibly disappointing.

Generally, I really like coming here and using the pool and weight equipment (5 stars), but I have two complaints about my most recent trip to the downtown Y.1) After a swim, I like to spend about 5 minutes in the dry sauna to warm up. This last time there was a giant cockroach under the decking of the sauna just wandering around. And I mean giant. That was gross.2) Changing in the locker room with Fox News anchors bashing women is really unpleasant. No one was watching this. No one. There is no reason for this crap to be on, especially not in a womens locker room where women should feel comfortable and safe, not ashamed and less than and vulnerable. I understand the Y does not control the content of that channel, but there is no reason for that channel to be on in the first place. This is a captive audience space and you cannot avoid the sound in any part of the changing area. Moreover, despite the Y being a Christian organization, the content of Fox News does not reflect the basic tenets of this faith or the mission of the Y, which includes nurturing supportive communities, not disassembling and dividing them with misinformation and dogma. I hope staff there can make an effort to make the locker rooms in particular a more safe, tolerant, and inclusive space for all women.

Excellent swimming instruction at all levels, plus an experienced and competent personal training staff.

You see a lot of the same people and develop great relationships as for the most part we are all trying to better our lives. The fellowship and bettering of a person that takes place in the YMCA is second to none.

As a racquetball enthusiast, I have never seen a facility as welcoming as this place. Eight courts and a great group of players of all levels. The facility had a complete makeover a few years back and has maintained it very well.

Wonderful and spacious facilities. Friendly, helpful staff. appreciate the nearby parking.

Ive been there for years. Always so clean & friendly staff. It has everything you need. Best gym in town!

Everything is always clean and organized. Theres a great variety of options for whatever workout I feel like doing.

Great atmosphere and very welcoming;. with an unpredictable schedule, it’s good to have a place where you can get a workout in. Staff is very helpful. I attend water aerobics with Trudy on Monday’s and Barbara on Wednesday’s and they are superb.

Beware: My wife and I cancelled our membership because we moved out of state. We still get charged monthly after cancelling, and we spend 30min-1hour on hold every time we call to get this fixed. They say they dont have the power to refund past months payments, and no matter what we do we still seem to get charged. Not cool Y

I workout regularly at several different Y branches, but the Downtown YMCA is my favorite: I value the diversity of fellow members, handsome expansive main workout space, towel service, convenient parking, friendly staff.

I feel perfectly at home at the Downtown YMCA. I love the people there and the facilities are top-notch. I have made quality friends at the Downtown Y that encourage me and help me remain accountable in my journey.

Great staff and clean facilities. No matter how early or how late you’re always greeted with a smiling face!

Great facility. Spread out. Kind and helpful staff. Clean. Lots of available cardio equipment.

Beautiful facility, great equipment, very clean and excellent location.*2019 update: still a great gym, still amazing staff, but after closing the bathrooms and locker rooms for weeks all they did was retile the shower area and install depressingly weak water pressure. You all just sold the building across the street for millions to build what will be the ugliest sky scraper in Nashville, you could at least use some of that money to keep the showers running well.

This place is incredible. Great vibes, great equipment, good space. Sunsets from upstairs are also awesome, but it gets a pretty darn crowded on weekdays between 5 and 8pm.

Great facility with plenty of exercise equipment, friendly staff, workout and shower towels, Smoothie King on site and convenient location for those of us working downtown.

Took the POUND class with Deborah which was really good. Great cardio workout. Have also taken the Barre, BodyPump and Sculpt classes which were also good. There are a lot of choices for group exercise. Highly recommended.

This gym has a lot. 2 pools, basketball court, 2 squat racks; 2 smith machines along with a lot of free weights and treadmills and elipticals. Staff is engaging and fun. Clean, even in the locker rooms. As any downtown location, parking isnt free. You can oak on the street and pay the meter or park in the parking garage. But if you park before 6:00 and after 18:00 the street is free, free all day on Sunday.

Great staff

Love this YMCA. Staff is amazing throughout, and the most amazing facility and amentities of any Y Ive ever been to.

The facility is clean and the staff are courteous and helpful.

Class A facility with a great focus on racquetball.

Best GYM in Nashville. Good choice of groups in the morning and in the evening. Very friendly front desk and instructors.

Visiting from out of town. Friendly welcoming staff. Dynamic selection of equipment. Polite patrons. Towels provided.

This is the best Y in Nashville. Very spacious and tons of equipment. The parking situation isnt the best. Street parking is hard to get during rush hours and if you start around the time that the new year resolution people start then you might as well forget parking altogether. Other than that its decent.One thing I would like this Y do better on is communication with its members. Once a year, they close down and do equipment maintenance, but they arent great at getting that message out to members because every year members show up and get upset when turned away. Sending an email or something would be great and prevent people from wasting gas.

The Ys facility is amazing.

Great variety of equipment, indoor and outdoor pool, great instructors, and friendly staff, too!

Group exercise is the best - especially Kim W. and Shannon L.!

This Y is awesome everything is updated and its a super nice facility. That being said sometimes it gets so packed that I cant even find a machine, or workout with out being in someones way its so annoying

The facility is great and the classes for seniors are excellent.

Love the pool!

Its a good facility, and staff have always been helpful to me and friendly. Pretty good programs and classes.

Always a nice place to workout or rest, parking is kinda limited though.

Man you talking about women with fat azz that come here!! I got to get my muscle up!! Get place to keep your heart and body in good shape!!!

Staff, equipment and service are amazing. One of the best YMCA Ive ever been. Im from Chicago Illinois

Parking and traffic aint fun, but the gym is top of the line

I just moved from Nashville 2 weeks ago and Im missing this place already! Great place to workout and get fit!

Great facility. Great classes. Dont try to go between 4-6 though.

My son and members of his medical fraternity are in Nashville, TN this week volunteering their time at a medical facility packaging medical supplies to be shipped to poorer Countries. The group of kids work hard for humanitarian causes, and are sleeping in a church on the floor at night. Unfortunately, this church does not have showers for them. When they inquired about using your shower facilities, they were told they would need to pay $900 to use them....despicable. Shame on you for not extending them the use of your showers for one measly week. They are not paid for the week of work they are doing, they volunteer their time and energy to help those less fortunate....too bad you cannot say the same. I was forced to give you one star to publish my review....but you dont deserve it.

Of all the YMCAs this is one of my favorite locations. As with all ys it would be perfect if they were 24hrs

I actually really like the facilities but I think it’s absurd to charge people an additional parking fee. No other ymca does that. Donelson ymca is just as if not nicer in some aspects and they don’t charge. Just think that it’s ridiculous to charge $12 a month extra on top of already existing membership fees.

Great facilities that includes top of the line equipment, olympic pool, indoor track, and great free coffee.

Garbage sales. Chris, calls himself a salesman, where he would be more effective at a fast food cashier. Zero customer service. Ymca website clearly states, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee -BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee insurance customers can receive 50% off their joining fee. To receive the 50% waiver, simply present your BlueCross BlueShield insurance card when signing up at your local Y. Chris refused to honor the deal. Asked for a manager.. denied.

My opinion is the best Ymca in Nashville

Glorious old crusty YWell kempt and cleanWorking parts in orderCommunal shower stallsSauna steam room & poolSpacious lockersTowels providedFriendly staffA definite winner

Great place to get a workout and free coffee.

The downtown Y facilities meet all my fitness needs. The staff is very friendly and professional.

Great location and nice equipment.

One of my favorite Ys in the country

I love it great place to exercise

The best place to workout!

It is clean and the people are friendly!

Does it really open at 7PM today or is that just a typo?...Gotta be a typo

My favorite gym
