It’s been a long time since I’ve been back at this Y, been awhile. It’s good to be back. Great Y with lots to do. Basketball courts are good. In door track is good. Not busy at all. Indoor playground is great for little ones on rainy a day. Indoor slash pad was fun. Swimming pool was good, except some random teenagers took my kid’s swimming goggles that I had to go track down. Front desk is well staffed. Great service. Very understanding. Thank you helping get our large group in.

Our daughter does private swim lessons with Sydney. She is great! Our daughter loves going as Sydney always keeps it fun while she is teaching. Best swim instructor she has had so far! She has made mountains of progress in comparison to our time with swimtastics. The girls locker room is always nice and clean as well, which we much appreciate.

Great building for the family to go do a variety of activities. From swimming to working out to playing basketball, they have it all. The building itself can get confusing due to the layout but has decent signage.

The gym and facilities itself are pretty nice steam room and sauna super hot. The only thing that’s weird is there’s creepy old men walking around butt naked for no apparent reason whatsoever. Maybe a few wear a towel signs would be helpful.

The Downtown Appleton YMCA is very nice. We are just getting back into going to the Y since Covid. Pre-Covid, my son loved the homeschool phy Ed classes. Now he likes playing basketball at the Y. It is a safe environment and clean. I gave it 4 stars because it is expensive unless you qualify for a discount. There is a parking garage across the street.
