Don't get me wrong, YMCA is great for its price and variety of fitness options. Includes fitness center, pool, scheduled classes and intermural sports. However, I go only for the gym and none of the other added features. The gym itself is decently sized, however machines and equipment are pretty old. Biggest problem I've had with the Y is that its almost ALWAYS packed. Workout benches and cardio machines are especially hard to get at night on weekdays. If you're looking for only gym options, its probably better to look elsewhere.
