I had bad experience. I was at the front desk to register my kids for swimming lessons. The lady asked what level are they now? I did remember one of my kid but I wasn't sure about my other 2 kids .SO I asked the lady if she can check for me but she was complaining she said to me you should know. I said I'm sorry I can't remember .but she wasn't helpful .I ask her can you find out for me please because i know she can find out it will show her on her screen. she said it is your responsibility to know .
Usually the staffs are helpful if I don't remember. the get my phone number and they find out for me but that lady was rud. it was Saturday March 8-2025 around 1:00pm.

This is literally the best YMCA I’ve ever attended. It is the cleanest, best maintained, best staffed, and best managed of any I’ve seen across western canada. The breadth of facilities include, a pool with hot tub, a running track, racquetball court, expansive weight and cardio facilities (lots of machines = zero wait or time restrictions), gym, spin class, assorted fitness classes, daycare, and more (see photos for more). I met first day with Bradley, who was extra kind, gentle, welcoming, and happy to show me around❣️. The price is perfectly reasonable considering the all-encompassing variety on offer. Even the best Golds Gym I ever attended didn’t have as much on offer (and was much more expensive). There was even a specialized machine for someone with a disability. No reason for anyone not to attend here. $$

I went here for a winter break program, horrible staff, didn't have control over the kids. I basically had to babysit the counselors and the children. however the summer one was amazing.

We are so lucky to have this place so close to us! I love the variety of classes and options available to me and my sons especially since we homeschool and can get out during the day when it's less busy. We've only had our memberships for a short time but it's been a great experience so far!
Huge thanks to the staff that make it all possible.

The Castle Downs YMCA reminded me a lot of the William Lutsky one. They have very similar layouts in terms of the fitness centre.
However, this location seemed to have a much younger crowd in general, unlike the typical senior citizen population at most YMCAs.
They've expanded their fitness centre space to accommodate modern fitness trends, which is evident in the photo with fitness equipment in a room that very clearly used to be a squash court.
Not a bad facility overall! They have a wide variety of equipment, and they prioritize the most versatile pieces.

Why I LOVE my YEG YMCAs - experienced dedicated volunteers and team members, safe & fun environment, social connections with others, all the classes and equipment and machines.

The YMCA summer camps are amazing. The full staff is great. They take the time to listen to feedback. The hours are perfect and love the before and aftercare. My son enjoyed all the camps he explored during this summer. Will for sure be coming back for more during the year.

My son does his swimming lessons at Castledowns YMCA. I really like the continues swimming lessons. I also think they can improve on helping the kids to be more successful. Especially if they are repeating the level again. I think this time it isn’t on the kids its on the instructor now. My son has worked with Kit & Amira and this two are an example of an instructor that wants to make a difference in a child’s life. I do hope that they know that they made a difference in one little boys life.

We are also doing the Summer Camps. My son enjoys the Y Sci and daily experiments that they do. Ethan seems to be really good from what I hear and my son has no negative things to say about the his counseller or the camp.
