Dowd Branch YMCA

The DOWD is awesome all the way around. Diverse class offerings with wonderful instructors, a number of different yet quality areas to work out and the mens locker room has 2 steam rooms 2 saunas a whirl pool and 2 areas to shower. Further the staff is always friendly and helpful. Best Y I have been to hands down.

Clean and well-maintained, with a large assortment of machines and weights. Pricing scales with income. Can get very busy during peak hours, but about an hour or two before closing it dies down fast; that's when I usually go.

I just finished my last shift as a lifeguard at the Dowd's aquatics center. I have never worked anywhere with a friendlier staff or friendlier members. The sense of community among the staff and members at this branch is incredible. I will cherish my experience here for years to come!
