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?
The Y I went to in Canada, 15 years ago now, and actually for a short while about 5 years ago, had a guys change room and an adult mens change room. The Adult mens room was equipped with the sauna and hot tub and there was more nudity there.
The Y in Kalamazoo MI has an 18+ men's area with exercise equipment, group showers, sauna, and steam room. Most of the guys just hang out naked. I have even worked out naked, but I sweat too much so normally wear clothes. I quit going because it was too far of drive so I bought some equipment and sauna for my house.
the Y in northside INDY was built in the 70's and has a Sauna and whirlpool still in the adults men's locker room... the only thing now is they put up signs a few years ago to cover yourself with a towel when walking around, but most of the old guys during the day, don't and don't care.
I use the YMCA/YWCA regularly. I do remember when they were separate, and I wish some would separate so that there would be able to be freer nudity permissions. There are showers, I use a shower after swimming, and never pull the curtain all the way across, though right now, curtains have been removed so although they are semi-closed, they are open for all to see you wash and shower. Seldom see boys stripping and taking showers! I have seen fathers showing boys how to cover up with a towel so as not to be seen nude, and then get dressed wearing the towel until covered. What a shame.

My local Y is the best deal and most comprehensive facility in my area. I watch netflix on the elliptical. Last night I was the only swimmer in a beautiful pool, 81 degree water. Outdoor temp 3 degrees. Very grateful for the facility even though it has a small locker and shower area for men. I shower nude in the open but usually the only one. Rarely see other brief style suits either but I figure that I have to be the trend setter. Can't have everything but I guess I have 90%.
