| - I've been going to this Y location for a couple of months now, so I can finally write a solid review.
I work in Uptown and decided to go to this location vs the Dowd to avoid the crazy crowd. I go around 6pm every day and I never seem to have a problem with getting on machines or equipment. The locker rooms are nice and big, plus you can rent lockers. They also offer free daily lock rentals from the front desk, but they only have a limited number. I ended up buying my own lock from them ($7) for a daily locker and I never have had problems finding an open one.
They recently updated their elliptical machines, and the majority of their equipment is fairly new. I love that they have a stair master (maybe 5), as well as a variety of treadmills (10-12). There's also a nice 1/9 track up stairs, along with a cycle studio. In addition, the basketball court in the middle of the gym is great for people watching ha! Unlike the other Y locations, they don't have a 'women's only' weight training area, but there are some private areas upstairs, with a TRX machine, free weights, mats and yoga balls.
What really draws me to this location is the size of the gym. It's simple to navigate and I never have to fight for a machine. It's convenient, clean, updated and the staff is super helpful!
Hint: They also have a sauna and steam room in the locker room- it just took me months to finally realize it :-) There's also a nice pool for lap swimming, which you can see through the main gym area.
