The 14th Street Y

"We got my teenage son a teen membership. His bag was stolen from the gym locker room after only a few visits. He told security and the front desk who took no action. I then emailed a manager there who checked video footage and told me she found out who it is and that I should file a police report. They also told me that their policy is that they won’t disclose the name of the thief to the police unless they get a warrant. Police don’t waste time getting warrants for petty theft. It is disappointing this center has members or staff that steal and even more disappointing that their main priority is protecting Known thieves instead of paying members."

"This place is fantastic! The gym facilities are top-notch, the basketball court is great, and the theater is not only well-maintained but also has a unique, creative vibe. The facilities team is clearly on the ball—they keep everything running smoothly and it shows. There’s always something exciting going on here, from community events to awesome open mic nights. You can also tell the leadership really cares—there have been some impressive upgrades throughout the building over the past couple of years. A truly well-run, welcoming space!"

"The fitness area at the 14th Street Y is generally clean and well kept, which I appreciate. One concern, though, is that many members do not wipe down the machines after using them. Since there aren’t attendants assigned to handle this, I think it would be very helpful if the gym placed clear and visible signs reminding members to clean the equipment once they’re finished. This would go a long way in maintaining hygiene and making the space more pleasant for everyone"
