The one on 9th Street, that is. Any opinions? Mostly about the gym and swim aspects.

I rejoined in January of this year. Part of my New Year's Resolution to
get in shape. I love the Y. It's where my son learned to swim when he
was a baby. Every day I either run on on the tread mill or elliptical
thing or swim. During the week I can only go very early in the morning
or after work so sometimes there is bit of wait for lap swim which starts
at 6PM. There are three lanes and 4 people can swim in each lane at
a time. On Sunday morning I take a 9AM stretching and toning class
which I really enjoy. There are plenty of classes to choose from. The
Y is open from early morning until around 11PM. It's great having both the sauna and steam room to choose from after working out. The price
to join is reasonable. The Y is just a very down to earth kind of place
that I'm grateful to have within walking distance from my house.

Dunno about swim, but like it for the gym aspects. For me, it's a good deal for the $$$. Rarely have a hard time getting the machine I want. And I really like the democraticness of it -- young people, old people, fit people, unattractive people, old guys working the punching bags -- nobody seems concerned about how they look or whom they impress. I use it much more in the winter so haven't been often lately.

It's great! About half the cost of the NYSC across the street, and the equipment is nice, too. Most of the cardio machines have TVs with individual remotes / headphone jacks. The weight machines are in good shape, and they're supposed to be building a new pool, too. The staff is always friendly, as are the people. Highly recommended!
