Ive worked here and my kids has done several summers of camp here. Top notch! Best customer service! Camp counselors are always professional. There is no better place for enrichment if you have kids.

Great place to workout. Great sampling of the people of Denver. Friendly staff. Incredible value.

My 3 and 4 year-old girls had a great swimming session with Sophia today. I was very impressed! The receptionist on a front desk, Kristine, was very friendly and very helpful! Thank you!

I was a member here in the past and let my membership laps because I was new and felt the staff treated us poorly. Not so this time we have been treated with respect and a friendly staff that gave us a tour of the new facility and offered to help us using the equipment.

Just recently popped in for a visit and was very very pleased with everything. I was very impressed with all of the options that are available at this club and will definitely be a front runner on my quest to find the perfect gym. Whilst working out, I was struggling with properly loading weight (never been to a club before) and a trainer, Alex came by and was very happy to assist me and answer any questions I presented. Overall I am extremely impressed with everything this place has to offer! Cant wait to return!!

All the employees and patrons were very helpful at my first visit.

This YMCA is an excellent community resource. Theres so many activities for every age group its amazing. The staff here is very friendly and fun. They will do anything to help make our visits more enjoyable. Come and see for yourself what a great place this is to get a warm welcome and a great workout.

They canceled their respite program with no communication to the families of those with disabilities. The family coordinator has not responded to any communication for the last 9 months. Its like she just doesnt respond to people. There is no longer any disability programming and its like they just dont care. Most of the staff is pretty rude, except for the former respite staff, who were wonderful. Too expensive for the attitude and lack of programming. Avoid the ableists who work here if you have any disability and save your money. They literally dont care.

I hesitate to leave such a poor review, but I think its warranted. On and off for the last 2 years, I went from really liking this place to really hating it. Primarily, the problem here is management: There doesnt seem to be any.Front desk staff is generally cordial, but could never be described as helpful or even friendly. Youre just as likely to get an angry stare as you are a smile, particularly from the older staff members.The facilities cater to senior citizens, to the point of absurdity. The gymnasium is full of classes and events for seniors, and its nearly impossible to drop in and shoot hoops. Yet, for reasons that escape me, the dance studio is largely unused.The pool has a fun kids area that COULD be great for families, but the water effects are never turned on. You have to make a special request - to which you get a dirty look - and then precisely 30 minutes of fun before the water effects have to be turned back off.Speaking of the pool, the staff is grumpy and disengaged. Lifeguards look as if theyre rather be anywhere else. The team in charge of the lessons is completely and totally overwhelmed by the responsibility - I showed up for lessons at the scheduled time, only to learn the lessons had been cancelled weeks ago, and no record of my registration (fortunately, I have a copy, so maybe Ill get a refund).I dont know anything about managing a rec center, but I know that Ive consistently had bad experiences at this particular rec center over the last 12 months. Ive also noted a considerable amount of staff turnover. To me, this all smacks of a management problem.But whatever the cause, I recommend anyone under the age of 50 avoid this YMCA. Its not for you.

Myself and my wife have been members here for about 4 years. My wife has Silver Sneakers entitlement, and I have my membership as a disabled veteran. Do ask about the disabled veteran discount on YMCA membership tho as it is not on their website. You will need a VA hospital card denoting service-connected on it for the discount.Overall it has been a great experience over the years, but in the past were some issues.

This place is great I have been a member here for years and it has only gotten better over the years. There are so many things to do at the Ymca. I mostly go here for the pool. The family pool is great for children of all ages and the lane pool is great for swimming laps. I love going here and would recommend this place.

Love this Y! My whole family have been members for 8 years, since my first child was born. Its a lovely community of people, who offer love and support in all areas of your life. So grateful for them.

I was recently visiting Denver for business and stopped to use this facility. After my morning workout I had a few hours of downtime before heading back into work. I walked across the street to get breakfast and returned to my vehicle to relax. I was minding my own business and happened to doze off for a brief nap. However, I was rudely awakened by two men knocking on my window. They were obviously YMCA administrators and one of them told me it was a private parking lot and said I wasnt welcomed there and would have to leave. I explained to him that I was a YMCA member, but to no avail. He responded by telling me there was a 2 hour parking limit and again stated that I needed to leave. So to avoid confrontation I obliged and departed the parking lot. Before I left though, I scanned the parking lot for any signs indicating a two hour parking limit to which there were none. So I called the front desk and asked if there was in fact any time limits on parking to which the receptionist replied no there were no rules of that nature. As a member who pays $107 a month to USE THE FACILITIES, I found the entire interaction demeaning, rude, and extremely unprofessional. If it were not for my girlfriends and sons frequent use of the Colorado Springs locations, where I have been a member for over a decade without incident, I would have terminated my membership on the spot.A side note, the gentleman at the front desk when I arrived in the morning was awesome and I would commend him for his admirable customer service. But whoever made the call to rudely infringe on my personal time and space needs to seriously reconsider their actions in the future to avoid similar negative scenarios which reflect extemely poorly on the culture and values of the Y.

We are blessed by the presence of a dynamic duo! Ryan and Juli are shining stars in a YMCA indoor cycling roster that has long been replete with excellent instructors. Lucky for us they take time from their endeavors in the helping professions (Ryans a Special Needs high school teacher; Julis a psychotherapist in private practice) to teach evening indoor cycling classes. (Juli also teaches Pilates).Parallels abound. Both teachers exhibit extraordinary levels of fitness but do so with the grace that inspires. Both are subtly vigilant--attending to the needs and well-being of their students via timely reminders of posture points and frequent, light-hearted challenges to work harder.Absent parental constructs and even the slightest whiff of superiority, this peer-to-peer experience, (which Juli and Ryan each evoke with their own inimitable styles) fosters a tribal experience for that hour.But what really sets these two apart from other instructors--and drives me to prioritize getting to a bike in their classes as often as possible--is their music.Ryans mix is eclectic and fresh--and challenging!--especially if you are accustomed to working out to the comfort and predictability of mainstream A-B-A pop beats. First couple of classes I found myself wishing for the songs to end so I could catch my breath. Then one day the genius of Ryans approach hit me. Every first Monday Ryan starts class 30 minutes early and screens a concert video. On that day he takes a bike on the floor with the students. First time I experienced this Ryan happened to be on a bike right next to me. As usual, the unfamiliarity of the songs disabled my egoic mind by making it impossible to use durational expectancies as my internal driver of how hard I should be working!All that was left was to try to match Ryans output by gear and pace. (Even THAT was easy since I could see him in my peripheral vision). No need for mimicry. No need for internal resistance. No place for longing for a break. Just trust him and push!Juli does this whole other thing. Indoor cycling is the first group exercise I have ever done. Im a sole proprietor and when I first started indoor cycling I reported to friends how good it was to have someone else tell me what to do for that hour.I wont pretend to understand how or even what Juli does. What is abundantly clear is that she pours her heart and her soul into her mix. Ive had the good fortune to attend many of her classes and Ive never heard her repeat a mix.Like Ryan, Juli leaves the lights off in the studio and since it is an evening class, we cycle to her beats in ambient light from the parking lot. I long ago surrendered any attempt to understand the relationship between Julis beats and the various jumps and runs and climbs she calls out. Id much rather fall out of my head as soon as possible...and fall into that feral, linked consciousness that Juli generates for that hour every Wednesday!At the YMCA!Who knew?!

I love my Y! Ive been a member of some YMCA my entire life and the past 10 years Ive been at this branch. They open super early which works perfect for my schedule and everyone is so friendly (staff and members). Over the years Ive worked with the various trainers at Schlessman and theyve all beeen great to work with. I am very excited about the facility changes that are going to happen and cant wait for the new pool! Going to the Y is the best part of my day!

I joined last month and so far I have been very happy! The staff are friendly and the members seem happy to be there. The gym is clean and the equipment seems fairly new. This location offers a lot of different classes. I feel like itll take a long time to get bored here. I feel like the price of the membership is fair for everything you get. Its certainly cheaper than the CrossFit membership I had and I feel like Im getting more for my money at the Y.

Ive been going to this YMCA for over 20 years and its improved immensely since I was a young child. Lots of new things to do has a gym for basketball, big swimming pool, well kept weight room and steam room very clean

The Schlessman YMCA is absolutely top class. One of the best Ys Ive used, even rivaling premium gyms such as Equinox in NYC ($230/month. I miss the lavender scented towels and luxury shampoo, but the Y is a much better deal).This Y is clean, spacious, has a helpful and friendly staff, and offers the full gamut of exercise options. Whether youre a power lifter, a cardio beast, or a serious swimmer, all of the equipment is top notch and well maintained.It features a true 25y lap pool suitable for basic competitive training (starting boards and a 9m deep end), an adjoined shallow pool for water aerobics, and a separate, shallow pool with a small slide just for kids!My home Y is the historic McBurney YMCA in NYC, and while I love the Burn, the Schlessman has it beat.As an out of state Y member, the Schlessman staff had me signed into the YMCA Away program and into the locker room in under 5 minutes, letting me keep my workout routine intact while Im in Denver.If youre a local, seriously consider the Schlessman over other Y options in town. Ill be back any time Im in Denver.

I received a phone call on my birthday from the Y today. I just wanted to post that this is something that has always set apart local YMCAs from other gyms in the area. They provide a sense of community and something so small as a birthday wish really goes a long way. I could not be more satisfied with the staff of this YMCA.

Its always a pleasure to visit the Y to get a good workout. I attend a minimum of 4xs a week. Many senior classes to chose from to accommodate every ability.

Love, love, love this gym. Super friendly staff!!! My son takes swimming lessons and they are wonderful!!! Shout out to Parker & James for being so wonderful with my son!!! Love the trainers too...Becky!!!

I am very upset that I cant swim with my glam-baby after work. Three hours is a long time to ask people to wait in order to swim. I get up early and when I get off I like to spend time with my family. I chose this establishment because I could swim with her and now they are saying we cant. I thought it was perfect but now Im told we have to wait until after 7. I am ready to go home by then and it would be to cold to take her out in the different weather. I wish they would have told me upfront and then I would not have started bringing her, now she liked it. I am paying for an experience I am not able to get the best of. It is great that you have offered swimming lessons for years but it should not come at the expense of other people enjoying there time when they can.

Love this place. Such a wonderful community center for our area of town and especially for families. The new updates and amenities are great too!

My favorite place to be! Such great classes, a great variety and there is no lack of help from the knowledgeable well trained staff. The construction did require some patience, however, all the hard work and planning really paid off! Thanks Schlessman YMCA!!

There is an never ending hatred we racial and sexual slurs. The staff refuse to use their video recordings to identify perpetrators of these hate crimes. I would not recommend this facility for children.

They just decided to change the rules in the pool, so while swimming classes are happening in the family pool, were not allowed to be there, not even in the wade pool! The classes occur everyday. For 3 hours in the afternoon, which is the only time that me, and many other parents, have available to take the kids to play in the pool! I wont pay for the membership anymore if i cant use the facilities. And I wont go there at 8 pm! Thats bedtime! This is a very stupid rule!

All accommodations very good and accessible swimming pool weight room exercise room. Plus the staff is very good with helping for any information and availability of things needed.

Recently remodeled the Schlessman YMCA is probably the best gym in the DU area for the money. My son really enjoys the family pool and his swimming lessons were very reasonable.

I love this Y! The staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is inviting and inclusive - a great gym for families.

This particular studio is a beauty, the other room in the other building where they offer yoga and Pilates is in desperate need of an upgrade.

The staff are incredibly intelligent and do a fantastic job day in and day out. Cant say enough about em

This gym is great! I see other reviews about facility maintenance being slow, and that is not my experience. I pointed out to the staff about broken straps on some equipment and new parts were ordered and installed within the week. Clean facility, new equipment, friendly staff

Great group classes great community and low membership fees its a triple steal!

The staff is completely apathetic and theyve been under construction forever. They dont cater to you at all. Go across the street to 24 hour. Much cheaper

Friendly staff and great atmosphere for a workout. They also have a lot of classes that are great!

The people we talked to were very professional and very nice and kind. Great place !!!

The child care center is wonderful! My son loves his teachers and class!

Great kids pool and personnel are very helpful and pleasant.

Keesha King and Veronica are the most irresponsible people I’ve ever met in my life who don’t do their job at all! Very disappointing! They lost potential client...

My name is Allen Ortega and I believe that my mother should get a promotion and a raise. She is making $10 - $15 an hour and thats not enough for the PSPlaywithurself I want!! Please help guys!!

Great facility and staff are friendly and helpful

Super sweet and super cool!

Very nice place..

Great facility for families!

Clean locker room and pool, but the exercise pool is shallow.

Great place to swim

Great facility and staff

We love the Y

Another great Y

Love the Y
