Quite sad that this location recently permanently shut down a lot of aquatic recreational services: sauna, steam room, hot tub. Charity, fundraiser and public funds of generations of Americans were used to build these facilities in downtown Bellingham Y to serve the community and now they are being permanently shut down. Waste of charity money and ruining it for current and future generations of use. Is this a new Christian principle YMCA is following?

The YMCA is the best gym I’ve tried in Bellingham. I do weightlifting and they have an impressive selection of equipment. It’s incredibly friendly and affordable whereas everywhere else I felt like I was being scammed in some way.

My favorite gym. New equipment, great hours. Portions of my membership support community families. Parking is an issue because of its location downtown. An easy fix is to plan your use around class schedules, peak times or...get your butt out of bed and work out between 6a-8a = the best time. Very do-able

Been going to the YMCA for 5+ years since i was a kid and always respected the community and the culture basketball brought to all of us. I really hope it doesn't shut down because i make sure everyone has a mask on even while playing basketball games.

I been to various YMCAs throughout the country and this one lives up to the expectations people like in a full service gym. It's a less modern one than most but all the equipment is in top shape. There's the pool, locker rooms, full basketball court with regulars, dedicated racquetball court, exercise machines to cover every area of the body (more than one for some exercises), plenty of free weights, a yoga floor that can hold 100 people, kickboxing area. I only been to this one once but it exceeded my expectations after reading some of these reviews. The only con is the parking if your vehicle is big since this is obviously in downtown bellingham, and the price is higher than other gyms since the YMCA is simply way better than any other gym in almost every city. It's a full service gym so you get what u pay for. I prefer the Y because it's more than weights and treadmills and I can trust their billing and professionalism since it's a nonprofit that goes back 100 years. I never had a horrible experience at a Y location and you won't get tired of the same old things because there are multiple ways to exercise here. The demographic is also balance with young and old. It doesn't attract creeps like some gyms because it's an established organization with policies that are reliable.

I'm from Blaine and I think this gym is the best I've found in the area. They don't require an inordinate commitment and the price is right for what you get. I like the city feel of this YMCA and the fact they have a rock climbing wall if you want. I was coming from a different YMCA in Louisiana and Tess helped me have a seamless transition to my new YMCA community in Bellingham. Boy am i proud to be living out here and have a solid gym i can go with my wife. The only downfall for me is its not a short drive from Blaine and sometimes it gets overcrowded. That being said, i like the competitive spirit and have never had an issue getting a workout in!!

Lots of broken equipment in the weight lifting area. They changed their cancelation policy to make it more cumbersome and there’s no way to get a refund. Their parking lot is very small so it’s unlikely to be able to get a spot at a reasonable hour. This is not a huge deal if you don’t mind paying for any street parking you can find. At one point in time, this gym used to be okay, but the prices have since increased while the quality of the gym has declined.

The gym is hot & stuffy with little to no cooling in effect. It’s so hard to breathe. As a result, it smells horrible with a bunch of sweaty people mixed in. The building is vertical. I feel like it was not really planned to be a gym. There is not a lot of variety for weight use. The equipment is fairly older. Granted, the Y will move to a new building in about 4~ years. The staff is okay.

I've been working out at the downtown Bellingham YMCA for over a decade. This is a gym for people who have come to work out, and they do offer many different types of workout programs. As one who wants no more than a good, solid, and stable, weightlifting environment, not a fancy, expensive or trendy gym, this gym is ideal for me. I can go in, perform a given day's workout regimen and shower, or sauna and shower, and leave. The staff are courteous and helpful. I love the Y!

The downtown Bellingham YMCA is not worth going to. There are a half dozen other gyms in town that are less expensive and have higher quality equipment. Not to mention the horrendous parking situation. While the YMCA is a decent organization, unless you are going to (better yet, able to get into) 3+ classes a week, a membership here is not worth it.
