My new favorite health club in Glen Ellyn! I’ve been a member at Ackerman and, most recently, at Health Track for many years. We decided to switch to the Y after hearing great things from other families about the renovations. Health Track raises prices annually without significant improvements, while the Y is a nicer, more modern facility at literally half the cost of HT. Even better, the Y’s family memberships include all children for one flat rate—unlike Health Track, which charges extra per child. The renovations are outstanding. Everything is modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. The locker rooms, weight room, and functional workout space upstairs are all excellent. There are lockers, bathrooms, water fountains, and comfortable, quiet seating areas tucked throughout—small details that show just how well-planned the renovation was. There are also thoughtful perks that set the Y apart: free coffee in to-go cups, a childcare room that feels like a private daycare, and a separate room for kids ages 9–13 with two Nintendo Switches, interactive wall games, and fun activities led by fantastic staff. The Teen Center is another standout that no other local gym offers, making this the perfect place for kids to enjoy beyond the early years! It never feels crowded, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the entire facility is kept extremely clean. The only improvements they could make would be to open an hour or two earlier on Sunday mornings, similar to other local YMCAs. Another convenient feature would be an ice machine next to the coffee station, along with paper cups for water. We're so glad we made the switch and have found our forever local gym!

Fabulous Y. I travel around the country for work so I've been to many YMCAs and this one is in the top 5, hands down. Such nice staff and lots going on but never feels crowded. Machines are always in proper repair and are super nice. The staff is kind and helpful.

Been in Glen Ellyn past five years. Kids have loved it. The educational program is top notch. Caring and loving educators! Kids are safe and doing great educational, physical, and social activities. Mrs. Raquel is a workhorse and amazing leader! She’s hands on and extremely passionate about your kids and the program. Jim Powers runs amazing programs that are well organized. His communication is top notch! Leadership is present and engaged. Best workout facility in Dupage county! Mr. Mike greeting at the front desk makes my day everyday. Positive update, caring individuals all around. Basically the Y is home away from home. Live to the fullest

VERY RUDE MAINTENANCE. PULLS WITHIN INCHES OF YOUR CAR FOR NO REASON. Parked in public parking and he has some sort of entitlement issue. Called to report to the front desk and ask for the manager, they did not give a manager and the counter girl was extremely confrontational. NOT VERY CHRISTIAN LIKE PEOPLE.

I have had a great experience the past few summers having my kids involved in sports leagues and summer camps at the Y. Great communication, flexibility and personal touch from frontline staff and Jim in a leadership role. I recommend to all families in the area!
