I love my chair yoga classes with Ashley and I love the sauna in the woman's restroom. I have a couple of other classes that I am interested in but need to make some changes to my schedule. My one issue is the parking. I take 9am classes and most of the time I arrive at least 30 minutes early so I can find a parking space.
Group exercise room is too warm (67 degrees F)
Teachers are excellent! Staff who check me in are very friendly and always welcoming.
I like the brands of exercise equipment. There are plenty of cardio machines so I don't usually have to wait for any the machines I prefer (treadmill, recumbent bike, elipital/stairstepper). I appreciate using the Preva app to track my workouts on most of the cardio equipment.
Healthy and friendly space.
Friendly staff, clean facility, good equipment, excellent instructor (Beth!). Would like to see one more massage chair (and 1 less ice/heat recovery machine?). Also, sometimes the staff doesn't pick up the litter left out front (from Salvation Army food service across the street, paper plates, napkins, etc...)
Well-equipped, clean, friendly and helpful staff, community-feel, inclusive and nice atmosphere
I love the classes. The instructors are great and have created good community in the classes.
The facilities do not feel worth the price. No towels provided and more classes should be available at Plum!
If women want ball sacks in their face when they are using the changing room then by all means. Otherwise I would stay away from the changing room/bathrooms. It’s not something I want to see…. That is why I use the women’s changing room. People with like genitalia should change in their appropriate changing area.
My rates were raised this year and I am already feeling the stress of increased cost of living across the board. I won't lie: sometimes I consider trying one of those cheaper 24-hour gyms for that reason. And I am a government employee with a decent salary.
Friendly staff but limited parking and the equipment is too centered in the middle of the big room which causes congestion in that area.
The staff are friendly, and the location is good. I always like the Y because when I needed financial aid, I was able to get it. So now that I don't, I support it.
It offers classes that are of interest to me
I like the environment. It’s clean the equipment is well maintain, and the staff is very friendly.
Very friendly and welcoming. Big clean facility. Parking is very problematic.
Generally very good. One time recently showed up on a Monday during open hours (~6:15am) and the facility was closed with no indication of why, which gives me less confidence in the place as a whole. Could use more incline-adjustable benches, probably no need to have flat non-adjustable ones at all.
Parking is tough
Nobody is dropping weights—HUGE plus!
Low-key staff and atmosphere. Love the classes and instructors.
The main reason I would not recommend the Plum Street YMCA is because the parking is horrible. It’s very frustrating to get there for a class and not have any parking and then have to find parking on the street and put money into the meter. And so often finding out, you don’t have any change to put in. That is the main reason I would not recommend the Plum Street YMCA. Overall, I enjoy the YMCA very much just the parking is so frustrating that I would never tell someone to become a member there because I would not want them to go through the frustration of dealing with this parking. One thing I will say very positive about the Plum Street YMCA is they have amazing people at the front counter. They are always so helpful and I truly appreciate them.
Friendly staff and others; love excellent classes with Beth; small facility; good condition; and very welcoming, including to seniors!
I like the variety of exercise machines that are available and the ease in using them.
Plum has warm, welcoming friendly staff as you come in. That is IF you can get a parking place. If that were easier, my score would be a 10. Please consider creating an exit for cars parked behind the building. It is dangerous to have to back out as people are driving straight through to exit. I have decided that I will return home if that's the only parking left.
Once inside, I find it to be clean, good signage and an excellent yoga class.
Plum Street is convenient for those of us who work downtown and I appreciate the extended opening hours. I am a little sad that most of the interesting classes are at Briggs, which is inconvenient, so I can't whole-heartedly recommend it.
I'd like longer weekend hours. Another recumbent bike would be good. Keep the hand sanitizers filled!
