Member Testimonials
great Instructors and facilities.
I would like more class over the weekend
The facility in Arnold but even more so, the woderful staff people and the other members with whom I converse.
The water aerobics instructors
Lynda Fitzgerald is an incredibly talented aqua aerobics instructor. She makes the class fun while she makes sure to work on various body parts. More important, she included movements that challenge brain functioning which is critical as we age.
I live equidistant between the Pasadena and Arnold locations, but I prefer Pasadena because it is cleaner and far less crowded. I appreciate the variety of machines and classes.
The common stretching area in Arnold feels like an afterthought. They recently redesigned stretching, and bodywork area in Pasadena is a big improvement. With one exception: that new blue “carpet” essentially performs like the scratchy side of Velcro, and as a result, lots of gross things have already gotten embedded in the surface of that big blue carpet and though I presume the staff vacuums it regularly, it is readily apparent that the vacuums are unable to dislodge lots of debris from the grip of that unusual material.
Love the new equipment and always clean environment
The people are so friendly- staff and members alike. The facility is clean, spacious and well equipped. It’s close to my home. Lots of class offerings across different times.
The group exercise class instructors are great!
Clean, Courteous, friendly,
Hours of operation
The staff has been incredibly helpful. I had some hesitation about using the gym but a couple of representatives took me around, showed me how a few of the machines work and took their time explaining YMCA's offering. They made me feel welcomed and comfortable about using the facility. Signing up for a swim lesson was simple and it was easy having prior concerns about level 1 swim lessons scheduling.i look forward to trying out in person fitness classes.
I love the classes. The instructors are great. Love the machines and the variety of workout machines available. I wish that Group Exercise Room 1 had better quality hand weights. They are old and worn. Also exercise rooms are not kept clean. Floor is always dirty and the handprints and marks on the mirrors stay for weeks which shows they are never cleaned. This could be improved.
Everything! The weekly class schedule is always updated & the offered yoga classes are wonderful.
I enjoy bodywork & love Katrina, Victor, Jenn. Their classes are terrific. I also appreciate Sandra’s Sunday afternoon yoga as well as Becky Holland’s Tuesday & Saturday yoga classes.
Michelle W. Is Z best on Monday evening, Sunday & Tuesday mornings.
Great facilities and it is a very inclusive atmosphere , even for my kids .
The Arnold Y is large with a very wide array of recreational opportunities. The classes and facilities are well run with great, friendly staff and instructors. The Y also enjoys a large diverse membership serving families, young people, solos, and seniors equally well. We are very lucky to have such a strong Y.
Every one has been very friendly and helpful. And the facilities at this Y are first rate- even a rock climbing wall!
I started the Aqua Arthritis Aerobics class and six weeks later I was walking down stairs with ease and better balance. Working with the noodle has increased my hand strength to the point that I can open jars again, May not seem like much, but, as a senior it has improved my indepence. The socialization in the class is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend this class to other seniors!!!
We enjoy the variety of equipment available and the programs provided.
It's very friendly and welcoming with a variety of programs.
Great facilities and very friendly
There is something for everyone at the Y in Arnold. The classes are scheduled to suite most anyone's time schedule.
Staff are friendly and helpful.
The facility is clean and attractive.
I partake in the swim fitness program which is always fun and offers a few activities at the Y outside the classes such as potluck and fundraiser. The lifegards are rotated a few times during my hour or so long class and so do not get bored and inattentive. They are friendly and helpful.
Has everything I need and allows me to choose different activities depending on what I want to do that day.
Great staff and Reasonable prices.
There are lots of activities, great for kids (my 11yo found a fun exercise bike that gamifies exercise), giant rock wall looks cool. I really love the pool in Pasadena (which you can use with this membership).
Pool sauna
The Y in Arnold is a place where i experienced mutual respect and comfort.
Easy to sign up for membership. Flexible hours, an abundance of activities geared for older adults.
Great friendly staff, great workouts and community events
Clean open airy facility with top notch equipment. The only drawback is people I call “Phonies” who spend most of their time sitting on a piece of equipment playing with their phone. They tie up the equipment and you have to work your program around them. Hey must have the strongest fingers and buttocks on the planet.
There are plenty of exercise machines and classes
Customer service. Jack is very personable and knowledgeable.
