Pathetic customer service! I had an event I was at recently, and they wouldn't let me use the bathroom. They weren't letting non members go past a certain point. I understand that, but come on to just use the restroom? I once was a member at the YMCA for years, until I moved out of the Wichita area. I was thinking about joining again, because we moved closer to the area. After this stunt they pulled, I'll join another gym.
Friendly staff. Always clean. It has the best indoor running track that I've ever used - 6 laps/mile! Women's locker rooms are clean and roomy. Only drawback to the downtown Y is the parking; it can get full quick. There is overflow parking across the street or metered parking if you don't mind paying. The pools are nice with individual family and lap pools.
This Y is awesome!!!! You can get a great workout in for sure. Right across the street from the City County building, where I needed to file paperwork. Knocked out two birds with one stone. Yeeeees!!!!!
I have trained in facilities all over the world, and the Downtown Wichita Y is the nicest gym I have ever seen. If I had to nit pick, I would say that the plates don't all match and they have spring instead of clamp collars, but that's about it. It's spectacular. If you are anywhere close, check it out.
This is a newer building and is very clean, the staff is very nice and willing to offer help if you need it. They were having trouble with the water fountains recently but I believe they fixed this issue, other than that no problems I have seen.
I have been going to y since 60s . The new building is a great inpovment . Staff all ways the best. Good job to all of you at down town y.
Great staff. Very clean. Has everything you need to get a good workout in. The wifi is great too!
This location is close to my job and easy to get to. They always have enough machines, but the parking isn't that great. It's the only complaint that I have. The lack of parking.
An amazing facility. The third story space has some of the best views in the city. Equipment kept in great shape or fixed very quickly.
Staff friendly. The remodeling is excellent. And, sure is nice for the Mead Corner 404 snacks & beverages available. My favorite Y.
One of the cleanest facilities in the Wichita area, especially for how busy. Usually very busy and staff seems distracted. Always can find something to do even if it is busy. Most of the staff is helpful and friendly. Parking is alright most of the time. Nice to have two saunas. Glad they have a children's area as well.
While the gym is beautiful and modern with nice equipment, the staffs' behavior is not. I use to go at night with a friend. The front desk guy, who we nick named might mouse, would awkwardly stare at my friends backside. If there were other men standing around the front desk too, they would crack jokes about a white woman with all that a$$. She's self conscious & anxious about her figure. He made it worse. On a seperate occasion during the day, 2 ladies working the front tried making small talk after I checked in. I chatted back only to have the larger of the two in bright red lipstick stop mid sentence to strike up a conversation with a person behind me. The lady behind me had brought the red lipped staffer a few almonds in a zip locked baggie. I guess she was just dying to share and ol red was more than eager to accept.
Go to this location if you're familiar with exercise and the equipment. Don't except much from the floor staff.
The experience I had upstairs was incredible. A trainer talked me into going with her but when I changed my mind and wanted another trainer the staff all stared at me as if I had committed a crime. Very small town and not professional at all. I should have been allowed to change my mind.
Since I lived here in Wichita I've seen alot of remodeling done to this place. And the it is now is was an extreme improvement. The place is now moderate, really spacious, clean, and a great environment to workout! They have everything you practically need from free weights to benches and ellipticals to treadmills. Great for kids to senior citizens alike! Highly recommend this place for membership or just a daily workout.
