  The YMCA has a very clean and well maintained gym that I go to regularly.

  Well It happened. I ended up leaving. None of my concerns over the last 2 years have been addressed. You seriously need a ton of patience to work out here. It's just not worth it anymore. I came here for the pool. I went back to planet fitness on West 11th. It's amazing. New equipment. New manager. Always clean. Massage chairs are included with your membership along with red light therapy and tanning. I never could get into any of the classes at the Y. So, no loss there. Could care less about the pool at this point of disappointment. And, I NEVER wait for equipment. No matter what time of day because they added a ton of new machines and extra free weights! Save your money.

  First of all, I belong to other fitness centers, and this is tops and I don’t have much to complain about. I did have an incident today and I was on the treadmill and had my earbuds in and one of the staff walked by, and I pointed to empty towel dispenser with a smile on my face, and I had watched for 10 minutes with a half a dozen people walking up to it and seeing that it was empty. Five minutes later, I get a young girl who walks up to me and says : There is another dispenser right over there and points to it, and she followed that up with “ you were being very rude”, for pointing I guess. In retrospect I should’ve taken my earbuds out and asked her nicely if she could fill it up and I have been to the counter once I ready to do that and no one was there. If she had something to say to me about pointing she could have simply said that: We would appreciate you talking to us about it instead of accusing me of being very rude 😳 That was followed up downstairs by a young man who needed to explain to me how to treat his staff

  After reading a negative review of the Y, I’m compelled to share my own experience. Yes, this Y can be crowded at times but I attend on average 5-6 days a week and have ALWAYS found the facility to be clean and well maintained and I’ve NEVER felt it was in any way playing loose and fast w/ safety. I’ve also had 100% positive interactions w/ professional and caring staff for 5 solid years. Whether it is the cleaning crew, front desk, instructors, volunteers, management - every single employee has been courteous and gone above and beyond to be helpful consistently. My husband and I have been members since 2020 and we fully understand why so many Eugene citizens have enthusiastically joined the Y, it is because this place is not simply a formulaic gym, it is a community. We also accept and appreciate that we alone do not have a claim on the Y, EVERYONE is welcomed at this community spot and all are encouraged to make health/fitness a part of their lives. Thank you to Curt and the entire front desk, the cleaners, the instructors and every other employee for meeting the challenges in accommodating a large and diverse population and still striving to do your personal best - so many of us see you and appreciate you.

  Updated 11/12. This location is currently at an occupancy stage to be a major fire Hazard. The YMCA facility at South Eugene was incredible when it opened but has since been over run with horrific crowding. The membership as of November 1 2025 was approaching 19 thousand. This number is larger than many of the towns that most of us grew up in. Yesterday between opening and 4pm Pacific Daylight Time over 2576 members had checked in not including all the staff maintenance and management present in the building and all the children in the various programs. This number likely doubled after the 6pm rush hour surge where eyewitnesses reported every single piece of equipment was in use while people were ....WAITING IN LINE to get on machines. At the end of the day the views are amazing the variety of machines is great and the pool is an added bonus with a hot tub The lack of management oand regulation regarding membership numbers has ruined the experience for the vast majority of people spending any more than ONE hour at this location. Parking is a disaster and the deep cleaning is missed upstairs in the workout areas under the machines. The communal bathrooms on the first floor are deplorably dirty. If you are considering becoming a new member, DONT. This location is full and if a fire happens or earthquake during peak hours serious injuries are HIGHLY likely. Look elsewhere until the membership numbers correct themselves. What a shame regarding such a beautiful Facility.
