Been to many other gyms in the area and the Glen Ellyn YMCA is 10 times better by far. Gym and facility is always clean, never too busy, has new/updated equipment, and loads of amenities.
Staff is great as well. Very friendly, hard working, and accommodating.

This is easily the most visually appealing YMCA I've ever been in. Not only does all the architecture feel consistent, but even the fitness centers fit the vibe. Additionally, this facility just has a lot of good amenities. I still have yet to see a dirty counter or dirty seat. However, I am fond of this YMCA for a major reason. Almost every YMCA has a policy that if you lose your stuff, it's on you and you just lose it. Despite that, when I accidentally left my computer overnight, they held onto it for me and returned it to me in the morning. I don't really think a YMCA can get better than this

Nice facility. Sign-up was easy. Pricing is astronomical compared to gyms like Vasa, etc.
My personal routine leaves me open to work out from 8pm onward. Often I show up with the expectation of working out from 8:30pm-9pm. Closing time is 9pm. On more than a few occasions the employees were passively hostile about showing up within that timeframe.
TL;DR - Don’t sign up here unless you’re a Daywalker. You’ll be treated like rebel scum.

VERY RUDE MAINTENANCE. PULLS WITHIN INCHES OF YOUR CAR FOR NO REASON. Parked in public parking and he has some sort of entitlement issue. Called to report to the front desk and ask for the manager, they did not give a manager and the counter girl was extremely confrontational. NOT VERY CHRISTIAN LIKE PEOPLE.
Update: apparently if you park in a spot where the maintenance person doesn't like not only will they Park aggressively but they'll take a leaf blower to your car and shoot rocks all over it. I have on dash cam shooting my car with rocks I have chips all over my windshield. Luckily I am more godly than apparently he is and I know karma will prevail

I just had to give some feedback after this morning’s Strength+ class with Megan F. It was THE BEST WORKOUT! I just love her positivity in each class, as well as how hard she pushes us. I know I may not appear to appreciate it in the moment - ha ha - but afterwards, the high from the tough workout lasts all day long. She genuinely cares about each person in her class getting the most out of it. She is always pushing us to lift more, but in a supportive way. Today, specifically, she got me when after using 25’s (my heaviest) for my deadlifts, she convinced me to keep the heavies in my hands for the next movement, when normally I would have gone down to a lighter weight. It was tough, but so worth it. I have been taking her strength+ class almost every week since July and I still look forward to each one! Also - the music is top notch!

Cant find the email to send to the Y to commend a staff, so here I am. I would like to commend Mike from front desk. I was trying to hunt down one of the staff to get my child to sign up for swimming class but the staff was very busy with summer camp. Mike made sure I was contacted by the corresponding staff to have my child registered. Thank you so much!

My new favorite health club in Glen Ellyn!
I’ve been a member at Ackerman and, most recently, at Health Track for many years. We decided to switch to the Y after hearing great things from other families about the renovations. Health Track raises prices annually without significant improvements, while the Y is a nicer, more modern facility at literally half the cost of HT. Even better, the Y’s family memberships include all children for one flat rate—unlike Health Track, which charges extra per child.
The renovations are outstanding. Everything is modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. The locker rooms, weight room, and functional workout space upstairs are all excellent. There are lockers, bathrooms, water fountains, and comfortable, quiet seating areas tucked throughout—small details that show just how well-planned the renovation was.
There are also thoughtful perks that set the Y apart: free coffee in to-go cups, a childcare room that feels like a private daycare, and a separate room for kids ages 9–13 with two Nintendo Switches, interactive wall games, and fun activities led by fantastic staff. The Teen Center is another standout that no other local gym offers, making this the perfect place for kids to enjoy beyond the early years!
It never feels crowded, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the entire facility is kept extremely clean. The only improvements they could make would be to open an hour or two earlier on Sunday mornings, similar to other local YMCAs.
We're so glad we made the switch and have found our forever local gym!

Fabulous Y. I travel around the country for work so I've been to many YMCAs and this one is in the top 5, hands down. Such nice staff and lots going on but never feels crowded. Machines are always in proper repair and are super nice.
The staff is kind and helpful.

Been in Glen Ellyn past five years. Kids have loved it.
The educational program is top notch. Caring and loving educators! Kids are safe and doing great educational, physical, and social activities. Mrs. Raquel is a workhorse and amazing leader! She’s hands on and extremely passionate about your kids and the program.
Jim Powers runs amazing programs that are well organized. His communication is top notch!
Leadership is present and engaged.
Best workout facility in Dupage county!
Mr. Mike greeting at the front desk makes my day everyday. Positive update, caring individuals all around.
Basically the Y is home away from home.
Live to the fullest

I have had a great experience the past few summers having my kids involved in sports leagues and summer camps at the Y. Great communication, flexibility and personal touch from frontline staff and Jim in a leadership role. I recommend to all families in the area!

wow what a renovation! The necessary vision to take an already good operation to a spectacular asset to our community is incredible. A huge thank you to all those that helped in this transformation and especially in to those with the vision to see what is possible. The dedicated teen center to help combat todays social media challenges from bad actors will pay huge dividends for our community for many years to come.

Polite staff, and clean feel! A little on the tight side, and the hours aren’t the best. But I am content with it. Day care hours could be better. Very accommodating for elders
