About

At the Southwest Y, families come together to spend quality time with each other and children and teens play and develop self-confidence. The Southwest Y has a variety of fitness classes and equipment, youth programs, a racquetball court and more.

Description

We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That’s why, at the Denver YMCA, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

The Y is a membership organization open to all people. Our members enjoy a full-service health and wellness facility with cardio, strength weight training equipment, full basketball court and many fitness classes including: yoga, cycling, pilates and Zumba. The Y also serves seniors by organizing social events and providing fitness classes for the older adult in mind.

The Y is for everyone. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, financial assistance is available for membership and programs for those who qualify.

Mission

Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

The adult staff is very nice but this isn’t a place for you if you have a standard 9-6 job. They cater to kids and, I have to assume, the retired, which is great for those groups, and needed in the community, but not helpful to working parents with the gym’s limited hours during the week, lack of weekend hours, restraint on facility when they rent it out for months at a time to 3rd parties but you still pay full price for your membership, restraint on the facility for months for their own kid teams, and the flow of kid centric use of the facility for their different programming. Again, great if you are a kid/parent looking for it. Also could work for you if you have time in the middle of the work day/week to use it, like shift workers or maybe a stay at home parent if you are willing to spend 3-6 times as much to be a member here than their competitor gyms within a mile or two in every direction. Great pool which is rarely available to the members. The equipment is older but the work out rooms are quiet. They’ve degraded the services/amenities in the locker rooms over time which was a bummer. Kinda slow on fixing things when they break weeks, not days. I’m actually quite sad they couldn’t be inclusive of people like me in their mission because it’s the neighborhood gym I’d like to use if they could find a way to make space for me too. Example of their pool schedule for the last several months and will be the existing schedule for several more months. Blacked out times are when they have it set aside for things other than member lap swimming. Green times are available to paying members before and after work. Now factor in classes come in early to set up, swim teams are there earlier and later than scheduled times, they allow the kiddos in swim lessons to keep their lanes if wanted when their lesson time is over, and lifeguards which admittedly other gyms don’t have need hourly breaks.
Very helpful and friendly staff. Took the time to show me around the facility. They take temperatures before entering the facility and track where people are at. Small gym but has a huge variety for all age groups. Would recommend to someone not looking to navigate the zoo inside most public gyms.
I love it there!! The whole family works out there. They have something for everyone. People are so helpful and friendly willing to go the extra mile for you. Their isn't people gawking at you, you can do your workout in peace.
Marcus at the front desk provides the best customer service, when having difficulty with my account, he was the only one who could resolve the issue without the red tape I was getting from other sales people. Originally I was going to write a scathing one star review due to my issues with their other customer service dead ends, but Marcus restored my faith. Thanks Marcus. The facilities are nice and provide just about everything you could want without the surplus of people like in most commercial gyms. A gym like this in times of Covid is much better equipped to handle and properly space members by providing separated work out areas and reduced bottlenecks by providing multiple access paths throughout the facility.
They have amazing swimming classes. The girl who teaches my kids does an amazing job. My daughter has learned more in 2 lessons that 2 months at a private school.
This is not a world-class gym. This is a place with adequate, well-maintained equipment, friendly staff, and a full-sized pool. We pay more for the YMCA than the local 24-hour fitness, but find the atmosphere to be significantly better at the Y.
It's to bad they don't put any money in this place..Always something wrong there bathrooms,,, The ymca that's at Colorado boulevard gets more money to improve it ..while this place gets nothing to improve its Facility soo sad .
This YMCA is adequate. It has a pool and good locker rooms. Whirlpool is broken and will not be fixed. They used to have classrooms for children, but now weights and machines are scattered in rooms, hard to find, and some of the normal ones are missing.
I love this YMCA. It is friendly and clean, two of the most important qualities in a workout facility. The membership is also very affordable compared to many gyms in the Denver area. Would definitely recommend, especially the yoga classes.
Great. Through an event here. Everyone was so nice and easy to work with . The theater was very pretty. We had 550 people there...it was almost too small but that wasn't their fault.
