Yelp.com Review - by Holly B.

4.0 of 5 stars. Although I will probably never graduate to anything "better," I think of the Central Y as a starter gym. If you're out of shape, out of practice, or just want a quiet, friendly place to work out, it…

5.0 of 5 stars. Love it! Avoid all the b.s. of Crunch and 24 Hour - this is the place to go if you just wanna get your sweat on. I love being the only girl in the weight room. And Kathleen the trainer/wellness…

Yelp.com Review - by Stuart H.

4.0 of 5 stars. What can I say, I have been going here since 1994. It is old, crusty but the people there are super nice, you never feel self conscious AND they are about to build a new state of the art replacement…

Citysearch | A nationally recognized recreation and athletic center geared toward community improvement.

The first U.S. branch of the YMCA started in Boston in 1851; there are now more than 2,500 locations nationwide, making it the country's largest nonprofit community service program. Each YMCA reflects the...

Yelp.com Review - by philip b.

5.0 of 5 stars. My partner got me into the gym. I've always been into x- country running out on the streets, but had never felt comfortable "working out" in a gym. I quit smoking cigarettes and used the gym and…

3.0 of 5 stars. They should change the name of this particular branch from YMCA to OGMA. Hint - OG does not stand for "Original Gangsta" in this particular case

4.0 of 5 stars. I heart this place. A totally urban gym - no scene (at least not my scene), a great community. Perfectly fine facilities. Joined their first tri-club and met a group of awesome people who biked,…

Yelp.com Review - by Nadja M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've been wanting to write a review about my gym for awhile but, I feel strongly that one should actually attend the place they're reviewing. I'm totally a gym prodigal son. I basically pay $60 a…

4.0 of 5 stars. I get my sweat on here. This is the bare bones gym I need. No Marina/Castro body beautiful scene. No sales pressure. You wanna come here, cool. If you don't, then don't.

5.0 of 5 stars. I go here for Youth Speaks workshops on Thursdays usually, but it's good for other stuff too. There are a lot (an effing LOT) of youth thingies to do here, and of course a lot of grown-up stuff as…

3.0 of 5 stars. for a pool that was built in the early 1900's it is pretty darn nice. it may take some time to get used to swimming in the basement of a building in the tenderloin but at least the pool is clean, the…

2.0 of 5 stars. Ahhhhh! The fabulous Shih Yu-Lang YMCA! Located in the absolute worst area in the city, I have to travel through a gauntlet of crack-heads and piss stained streets to get through the front door. The…

Yelp.com Review - by Charlie D.

4.0 of 5 stars. Although definitely not as swanky nor modern as the other Y's in San Francisco, this YMCA has it all. The neighborhood is a bit "shady" with drug dealers and homeless people everywhere, but that just…

Yelp.com Review - by Anna b.

4.0 of 5 stars. This reminds me of the Y in Seattle, and that's a positive memory :) It's a completely vertical gym in an old building right in the heart of downtown. I love the old building feel while I'm working…

Yelp.com Review - by Billy A.

4.0 of 5 stars. My first grown-up gym experience and one of the best to this day. To get to the fifth-floor weight room, you have to walk through the old gymnasium. Just the sound of a basketball being dribbled sets…

5.0 of 5 stars. The YMCA has a swimming pool, which is RAD. I've always loved going to swimming pools, especially when I was little. My brother taught me know to swim when I was six by throwing me into the deep end…

Yelp.com Review - by Sean S.

3.0 of 5 stars. Like all of the Y's in SF, large clunky building that doesn't allow for best usage of space. Has marketed itself as the alternative to "the being seen, looking great" gyms and that's certainly…

5.0 of 5 stars. Tons of classes, clean, friendly atmosphere, no fuss, no contract shenanigans, clean pool, not a meat market. What's not to like?

5.0 of 5 stars. This YMCA keeps it real. That may sound cheesy , but it's the best way I can express what this place is all about. It's an underrated and underestimated community and fitness center, that is very…
