Description: The new Edward L. Gaylord Downtown YMCA was built in 1998 after the former facility was destroyed as a result of the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building. A state-of-the-art facility was built on land donated by the Oklahoma Publishing Company and the Gaylord family. The facility consists of two buildings, which face each other with a common green area in between. One building houses the Downtown YMCA branch with a fitness center, gymnasium, indoor pool, group exercise studio, indoor track, locker rooms and a multipurpose room used for a variety of YMCA and community programs. The other building houses the Child Development Center, a three star accredited center that cares for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years. The fitness center features STRIVE strength training equipment, treadmills, bicycles, step mills, elliptical trainers, an extensive set of free weights, cardio-theater, and the FitLinxx interactive workout system. A 1200 square foot expansion to the Devon Fitness Center inside the Y was opened in January of 2005, adding new cardiovascular equipment.

In the event of pests or rodents being spotted in our facility, our procedure is to contact our VP of Facility Maintenance first to allow our team to address the issue. In the event this does not remedy the issue the next step would be to contact our Orkin rep and schedule a visit to assess the issue The professional recommendation would be submitted for approval so the recommended service can be carried out.
