Who else still uses their Y?
Return to DiscussionsWanted to create a topic to see who still uses their YMCA, and see what the locker room atmosphere is like?
I currently go to my local Y, and its very basic but does the trick. Their locker room hasnt seen an update since the 80s. They have a small communal shower space of 6 shower heads. No one ever uses them.
I recently inquired if they were planning any renovations and why dont they have a steam room or jacuzzi. He just said most Ys do not have them anymore.
Are there any Ys left with mens locker room amenities? Sauna, steam, jacuzzi or open showers?
I have been using several of the Ys near my house. All have a variety of locker room facilities. Most have a specific area for males over 18, and a similar area for females. The more updated facilities seem to trend towards replacing the gang style showers, however that has not been the norm. Most still use the open style shower area. Covid likely made it easy for those wanting to transition to stall style areas.
Those with stalls are cramped. Generally all of the locker rooms have some form or combination of dry and wet sauna. The proportion of those using the areas nude or clothed is 70/30 to maybe 60/40 trending towards nude use. The areas seeing higher percentages of nude are also the Ys where the open shower area still is a present.
One particular Y has a wonderful mens locker room. Likely a holdover from Ys past. It has the largest over 18 room. And is on the top floor of the facility. It has both dry and wet saunas and a massage area. There is also a secluded sun area that is almost exclusively used nude. There is hope that the traditions of old have not been completely abandoned.
Wonderful topic for discussion

I still go, very well equipped Y here. In the mens locker room there are sauna and steam room. There was an open shower until Covid when partitions were installed. Most wear shorts or bathing suits in the sauna and steam room.
