Great gym. I come here in the mornings before work. I really enjoy the spin classes and there are always open treadmills. The indoor pool is great for lap swimming, and the lap swimming hours are amazing compared to some other facilities. Everyone is friendly, and they even provide towels, which is awesome.

I love the Y. Been a member for 20 years, but if you want to be safe from Covid do not go there. People are wearing masks on their chins, mouth and nose exposed, no one disinfecting equipment, no staff supervision. I reported someone not wearing a mask, and after they were told to wear it, they just wore it on their chin. Next day two people with masks on chins, nose and mouth exposed. So the rules for masks and disinfecting are in place but there is no supervision or enforcement. If you are worried about Covid you should probably stay away.

I couldn't believe that for a big city like Phoenix you get a four lane pool in what looks like a small, cramped hallway! The facilities are small and the variety of classes are extremely limited. We are currently struggling financially and applied for a scholarship. We were seen right away and "approved" for a discounted family membership at $57 a month!! Back in Wisconsin, we paid $72 without a discount, we had a full course catalog that offered extensive classes all day and all night long. We had a huge pool with 10 lanes and a diving board, as well as a smaller warm water pool for smaller children to play in. Our facility in a small town was five times the size of that here in Phoenix. When we went to the pool to swim we couldn't even get in because all 4 lanes were taken. So if you're going for the indoor pool, don't waste your time. For $57 a month as a low income family, this was highway robbery and a complete scam. We immediately canceled our membership on the day we enrolled, but have yet to get our money back, which we paid in cash. As for the other YMCAs in the area, apparently they are just as small and limited in classes. Scottsdale pool is closed and Christown only has an outdoor pool. What a shame...

The staff will ignore you if they find out you are an ASU student. The partnership seems to be a joke. Thankfully, I don't enjoy working out on the YMCA side so I avoid them. The equipment is old and outdated. The building itself needs to be updated. It's hard for me to write this review because I used to enjoy the fitness classes (especially yoga) very much years ago as an undergraduate student.

Where do I start? From Kylie on down the entire staff is absolutely amazing. Alyssa and Alicia and Brandy and Sabrina and Cesar and Kiyanna who can forget Miss Grace! Very thankful for all of them, also thankful for all the support staff that always keeps the club really clean and smelling nice and never too hot never too cold. Love you all thank you!

It used to be a good place before covid, but the upkeep has severely degraded over the last few years. The boiler that heats the shower water breaks frequently, and it takes them 3-5 days to fix it on average. YMCA members used to get access to the ASU side, but that no longer exists. The pool and hottub downstairs have been out of service for years. The steam room never works. Towel service discontinued during covid but never restarted after covid ended. In summary, the YMCA isn't worth the price anymore.

Courts are empty most of the time. Sometimes its full of try hards though. If someone comes up to you and says "You tryna run one?" , say NO Doesn't rent basketballs to ASU students anymore.

Great location for a YMCA. Plenty of parking (although you'll need a parking permit, see the front desk) the pool is closed on Sunday but it's nice and deep for diving. Any member of this Y has access to the ASU weights and basketball courts. Steam room and sauna for post workouts. A great hub for running downtown Phoenix.

DONT LET SOME OF THE REVIEWS FOOL YOU! 1. The rooftop pool is for ASU students ONLY. You need a special key card to get in. 2. There isn't "enough" room to workout. Room to actually just stretch. 3. YMCA pool is dangerous. Dont let your child run in because boom, they are already in 9ft of water. Their is no edge around the pool. Literally as soon as holly walk in, the water is right there and I'll be so scared to bring my child with me. 4. This place is not clean. Nothing but outdated. 5. I was reading some of the reviews and it sounds like they force people to say certain things, because trust me, it is nothing special here. 6. Yes they have a sauna. But you cant even change the setting because the knob is broken. Everything is here is a freaking joke. Original review: The staff is friendly and I personally liked going to the YMCA side vs the Sun Devil fitness center. However, they have no digital scales available to the public. We have to use a manual balance that I'm sure no one knows how to use. Their cardio equpiment is mostly new, but their weight equipment is not. Some of the machines have freaking duct tape on them. Some of their machines are outdated. The building is old and lowkey creepy. I went their basketball court and was scared. They need to remodel. People live upstairs and they have a little yard to hang out in. All they do is smoke and smoke. Walking to the gym and inhaling all that smoke is ridiculous. The staff are okay. I'm a student, so I enter thru the Sun Devil Fitness side, therefore, I dont really interact with the staff there. But from what I can tell, they are nice. I like them better than the staff at the sun devil fitness center. I dont see myself getting a membership with them at all. I really miss my YMCA back in Chandler. I personally just wished it was more clean, and they werent so selfish with their digital scale. And I love how many Sun devil photos they have posted.They dont want to show outdated equpiment. Honestly, if you want to use duct taped equipment, have residents everywhere, no access to a freaking digital scale, this is the place for you. I only attend because it's free, other than that, you will not catch me spending a dime here for this old,creepy, scary place called a gym. You are mostly spending your money to go to Sun devil side.

I appreciate the entire team for making me feel like I am worth being alive, before I was in the program my lifestyle was at a breaking point. I didn't know how to help myself or even care to ask anyone because I figured I could solve all my problems on my own. My case manager is understanding and helpful with work opportunities and upcoming events that make me feel included and important. I was experiencing health complications from not eating, being hydrated enough and having a bed to get rest on. If it wasn't for me being selected into this amazing opportunity to get back on my feet, I don't know where my life would've gone or ended up.

I walked in optimistically looking to fulfill a school paper on an organization, regarding their practices in inclusivity, and accessibility. The roadside entrance was locked, and the handicapped button did nothing. Upon entering the backside of the building, I noticed the main entrance was boarded up, and an alternative side entrance was opened. I walked up to the counter, and politely asked about conducting a small questionnaire regarding the organizations efforts and policies towards inclusiveness in the community. I was glared down by Alyssa G, and told in a very short curt manner, that there was no one available to answer my questions. I further explained that it was for one of my classes at ASU, and I was just curious about YMCA's approach to making their facilities more inclusive to people with disabilities. Once agai, Alyssa G. was very short with me, and said there was nobody that could help me, and she was defiant about connecting me with someone who could answer my questions. I did end up with a few answers: 1. If you're thinking of visiting this establishment, just know, they're not wholly inclusive, and Alyssa G. is NOT polite (would recommend, they place her in more of an office role, cause face-to-face interactions are not her strong suite) 2. The building has some weaknesses in accessibility for disabled individuals, like no street access, and handicapped door button seems a bit high to access from a wheelchair, assuming they ever unlock that entrance.

I will tell you something. There is a shortage of old, cool, hip looking buildings in Phoenix. At the Lincoln Family Downtown YMCA you will get to experience a real cool, old hip looking building. The entire place is so cool looking on the inside and built so differently from any new building you may see now and days.

I've been a long-time "Y" member and have seen this location go through a lot of changes, but I love that they have always kept the basement gym in tact (aka...the Dungeon). The cardio machines on the main floor are well maintained and the heavy weights in the basement keep getting heavier (for some reason)! The staff are first class people who have always been helpful to me and are usually very happy to greet guests.

Sooo much fun!! Very thankful for a safe way for my kids to enjoy the holiday!! And it was completely FREE!

It's outdated but it's not as busy as other gyms in downtown and that's why I like it. I rarely go there and find the equipment that I wanna use occupied. If, however, a men-only gym opens up in downtown, I'll leave this gym in a heartbeat.

Need a safe place for your family health care camps 🏕 swimming 🏊‍♀️ basketball 🏀 mentoring program for special needs lunch program what more can I say injoy the adventure

Clean the joint… workers just stand there doing nothing. When my man’s with the black hair is there they are on point besides that they slack. Start with taking the trash out/ basic cleaning. And get the steam room going if u can’t afford that then just sell the gym to someone who will us it the right way. Also this gym only has dumbbells for free weights and they are so old I barely trust some of them. Zzz

Very very fast and efficient service. Very professional staff. Only thing is that it's a little bit confusing getting there if you're coming from south Phoenix. Other than that Embry Health is definitely a five star Covid-19 testing site.

Great place to workout and unwind from the day. Quiet and calm atmosphere 😌

I haven’t been here, actually I don’t even live in America someone in this location tried to log into my windows account and I got a email saying someone tried to log in which showed me his IP address and I tracked it to here, you might wanna check who did that.

I love this Y BUT they have lifted their mask policy during a National surge of Covid!

It's a good place to be if you need someone where to lay your head at it's worth a shot

I enjoy the friendly and knowledgeable staff, the availability of the exercise equipment and the convenient hours of operation.

Great looking area, well-taken care of and clean. This YMCA is a partnership with ASU and is used as their downtown fitness center. Nice building and great place to workout in the downtown. I like working out in the very early morning, and this wasn't open (during the summer) until 7AM - so I didn't visit as often as I would have liked too.

Love going there
