Love variety of classes and events wish Pasadena ymca has same offerings as the Arnold ymca as far as classes
The energy is great at the Y. The equipment and staff are top-notch!
I absolutely love the Y. It is genuinely the best gym experience I’ve ever had. The facilities and equipment are excellent, and I especially enjoy the pool, sauna, fitness programs, and classes. Just as importantly, the staff and other members are consistently friendly and welcoming.
One of the things I appreciate most is being able to visit different locations. Pasadena is my home Y, but I’ve also worked out at Arnold, Ellicott City, Easton, and other locations, and each has its own personality while still providing the same welcoming Y experience.
I recommend the Y all the time. My wife is a member, I’ve recommended it to friends, and I’ll continue recommending it. As long as there is a Y within a reasonable distance of where I live, I plan to remain a member. I’m genuinely grateful I found it.
Its location. The Trainer-led classes. Variety of classes.
Please consider sending notification of cancelled classes sooner. Many of us plan out the week, alternating between strength and cardio. A cancelation sent a mere 2 hours before the class may not be seen until it's nearly class time. I am not alone in this request. I'm hearing lots of grumbling about it.
Staff is friendly.
My daughter really enjoyed it, I hope that it can be offered again with consistency.
Great staff, wonderful facility, awesome pool complex
Very nice and helpful employees. E band is helpful and good for senior citizens. Happy with Pasadena Y!!!
On going support by Y staff for me to to achieve improved health outcomes
I like the variety of options for obtaining one's health goals. I like the Group classes, machines, Personal Trainers and the pools. There is something for every person, every goal, every fitness level.
It's the place to go for your health and many other activities keeping the youth and adults health and activist year round. Well in other words it's an overall 360 great investment and opportunity to experience this kind of setting. I will forever be grateful to be a part of the YMCA thank you.
Great place to work out. Easy to get on a machine. Friendly associates.
Close proximity to home, good selection of classes and equipment which is usually in great working order. Awesome staff and instructors.
Convenient location
Great place to work out. Staff is super friendly and just an awesome place to visit!
The Y in general was great. For the ballet experience. There is much to be desired. The instructor didnt even learn the children's names. Instructor was rude and the assistant would follow leader. Additionally, kept canceling class sessions.
I love the parent child movers class. I’m so happy that it got brought back! I heard it won’t be back next session and I’m disappointed.
I think it went well overall. There were 2 cancellations but things happen. I like being able to take her and there not be the expectation that there will be some kind of show or ridiculous costume/picture fees. I have older girls so I've been through that before and just wanted something less financially stressful especially if my daughter didn't like it.
Facility was clean and well maintained. We only used the pool and the children really enjoyed their time.
Safety if very obviously a priority judging from the number of lifeguards on duty and protocols.
Staff was friendly and welcoming.
The gym looked well stocked with many available machines and a good variety of machines.
The gym appeared to be very welcoming and non judgemental.
Love all of the different swim exercise classes and how the pool is open all year because of the removable dome. I also love the EGym circuit. It is helping me build muscles and I feel great! As you get stronger, the weights change. The people that work there are also very helpful.
Im so glad that I live near the Pasadena Y!!
We went to the Y in Pasadena. The facility was clean and well maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly. The pool is huge and offers a variety of depths for swimmers of all experience levels. I appreciate their commitment to safety, by enforcing rules based on swimmer ability.
Instructors are great!!!
I love the group classes but especially Lora’s body pump class and Victor’s spinning classes. I live 5 minutes from the Arnold Y but come to Pasadena now 90% of the time.
Lo recomiendo muy ordenado y limpio experiencia 10 de 10

Improving health
Aidan helped me sign up at the Pasadena y and couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. He made my process very easy.

The Y is family oriented. I love attending the Mixxedfit classes. It is also a great place to meet people in the community. The Y has become my second family.
