| - This review is primarily directed at the strength training facilities at the Tempe YMCA. The location itself is nicely laid out with ample shaded parking, a plus in the summertime. Inside is large with segregated workout areas, a plus when cardio and group classes are being held. As an active weight lifter, my primary area of concern was the strength training room. It was small by my standards, with majority of the room being filled with cardio equipment. The dumbbell rack was standard, ranging from 10 to 100 pounds. There was only one bench though for bench press and incline, something I hoped would be more of since they are quite common exercises for any weight lifter. All the equipment was clean though, and the noise level was minimum, with no children on the floor. All in all, a standard weight training room with decent weights. I would not recommend this facility if your workout encompasses anything more than baseline free weights. For active duty military, this facility offers free guest passes, which is very nice.
