Member Testimonials
My daughter attends swimming class in this location and I must say, this location is awesome. The facility is well maintained and the swimming staff and instructors are the best. I can say this this based on my own experience because I’ve enrolled my daughter to two several other swimming lessons in the past in a different location and organization and this location is hands down the best. There’s even one occasion where I was trying to help my daughter learn how to somersault in the water to prepare her for flip turns but she’s really having a hard time. There’s a lady swim instructor, who looks like she’s about to leave, noticed us so she came up to us and give her some pointers. When the instructor noticed that my daughter was really struggling, she jumped into the water and helped her and give her additional tips and pointers. I didn’t get her name but we usually see her teaching little kids in the indoor swimming area. I highly recommend this location.
Plenty of equipment and space to use it.
I’m 76 years old. I’m not very agile and fear of falling. I have a knee replacement. Other knee is bad. I like being able to park near gate and walk into pool. I was told that soon that gate will be obsolete. That I’ll have to enter front door and walk through bldg to pool/s. 🥵
I like the indoor warm pool. The personnel are very courteous. The building is always clean.
The facilities are great. The staff and instructors are friendly and inviting. This is exactly what a gym should be.
I really enjoy the Dance Fit and Body Pump classes.
I really like the new equipment. Specifically the plate loaded chest and shoulder cybex machines. The functional fitness area is great also. If possible could you get dumbbells that go from 105-150lbs and get the smoothie bar prices lowered. Thanks
Great classes and equipment
Friendly staff, great equipment, stay and play, clean
everything
Has undergone major upgrades in facilities and equipment. Some still underway with minimal disruption.
I love the Y, particularly the family Zumba class in Arnold. Exercise I can do with my toddler while my infant is in the stay and play? Amazing! We also love the outdoor pool in Pasadena.
Love the equipment!
I love that I can drop my young son off for some play time, my older daughters can use the equipment and rock climb and I can get in some decent classes and work out. The tent to cover the pool in the winter allows me to also get a good workout in I can't do anywhere else (for the price)
Everyone is friendly and helpful - except in the equipment area/gym
Very pleased with my two water exercise classes
Excellent instructors make it fun to exercise
Marie at 11 am. Monday’s & Friday’s

I was very disappointed when I went to the gym area and couldn’t find anyone to assist me for the circuit training or the bicycles
I was hoping to use the equipment, as I had several years ago. The employees used to be very helpful, but I couldn’t find anybody —- before my morning water classes
It's a very clean and friendly facility. Its a very vibrant place. The staff is excellent.
The equipment
Only place I can continue to swim!
Freedom to try different classes and general friendly atmosphere
It’s very nice it’s just very expensive
Friendly staff. It's close to home. Love the new equipment.
The staff is so pleasant. The Trainers and Instructors are awesome. They all have GREAT Customer Service skills. The equipment has been upgraded, as well as placement of the equipment. The Total Y experience is awesome.
everything. Perfect gym.
It is clean, well organized and good communication
We love the classes and all the new equipment. Just please bring back the TV channels you had before! I want to watch MSNBC while I use the elliptical machine after yoga class! My grandkids love their swim instructors and Miss Jenny and I have taken yoga and pilates from Marlene and Michelle forever!

The Y has a Pleasant friendly atmosphere. Staff are well informed and supportive to all members. I like the strong community commitment to youth and families the Y holds.
Great!!
The friendly staff and new upgrades
The YMCA Gym offers a lot of great courses to join and has a lot of machines to offer which you can use. The courses are great for everyone and it has good times so you can go rather in the morning or in the evening which is great if you have certain work schedules.

My daughter’s swim instructor, coach Wyatt, is one of the best instructor she had. My daughter can’t barely swim 25 meters when started last August and after 3 sessions, she was able to swim 50 meters and learned butterfly. Coach Wyatt’s methodology of teaching is so effective because she learned a lot for a short duration of time and she really enjoyed the class. I’m so impressed so we decided to sign her up again with the same instructor and now, she’s already swimming 100 meters with matching flip turns. I highly recommend coach Wyatt and all the swimming instructors and lessons here at Arnold and I will continue to sign up my daughter for future advance swim classes in this location. I wish The Y in Arnold offers Pre-Competitive swimming lessons since the instructions here are awesome. Kudos to the whole Yin Arnold especially the swimming coaches, staff and instructors.
