Ketchum-Downtown YMCA in Los Angeles, California

“Great facility! The pool is indoors and heated. It is 3 and 1/2 feet throughout so it is perfect for laps or the water fitness class that is M-F at 10am.”

“Ketchum does not care for the safety of its members nor employees. Jackhammer is being used on the pool deck where noise vibrates through the enclosed pool deck. The sound amplifies throughout the locker room and the lobby. No notification was given to members of the maintenance during swim hours. Members nor employees were not given earplugs. They allowed a child under 10 to continue to take a private lesson despite”

“The only reason I visit this location is because Everett J is such a fun instructor. The staff here never greets me or my kid, someone at the child center called my son dramatic (whole time heu2019s just himself on the spectrum). Iu2019ve also had moments when staff (a young Hispanic male with dark hair at the front desk) was completely unhelpful.. for example, watching me walk to the child activity center while they knew it”

“Probably the best YMCA ever. You take the elevator to the roof so you will not deal with too many homeless. Most days there are no homeless in this area. They open at 5:30. I wish they open at 5 but still a great time to open so you can work out and head to work after. Great equipment!!”

“I am visiting from out of town and the employees were beyond friendly and got me signed in quickly as a visiting member. The YMCA members who were working out were also friendly and inviting. The equipment seems old and the building could use a bit of a facelift, but they had a lot of equipment to use. The also had a nice basketball court and racquetball courts which were in great condition.”

“In the heart of downtown, the Ketchum Los Angeles YMCA is in a perfect location for the office and residential crowd in the area. It has lots of parking available downstairs with a huge and well-maintained gym. Considering the prices at neighboring gyms, the YMCA is a great option. And the proceeds go to help underprivileged kids and families in downtown Los Angeles.”
