The Blaisdell YMCA is an excellent place to workout, often described as amazing and kind from the front desk staff to the janitors. The facility is older but well maintained and in good shape, with good parking, clean lockers, and equipment including treadmills, ellipticals, weights, and enough squat racks. It is usually not overcrowded, especially if avoiding busy hours. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and on their Ps and Qs. They host a variety of group fitness classes, and the community feel is noted. The summer program and kids stuff is super convenient, though some note that kids sometimes play in the weightlifting area. Overall, it is a convenient and happily impressive Y.
