Member Testimonials
The gym is very vibrant, has great equipment and motivates a person to exercise.
Matt Lewis (Pasadena Y Executive Director) is awesome! He is very respectful, conscientious and welcoming to the local disability community, which is greatly appreciated by me and many others.
facilities are well maintained, and the equipment/pools/rooms are well managed
convenient location, positive attitudes, reasonable cost, etc.
suggestion: bring back the 2018 tricep machine. the new one is awful!
Nice facility would like to know more about getting a child able to pass the swim test
The amount of classes, the amount of machines and the sauna
Friendly people. Stay and play is amazing. Great equipment
I love the Y and I tell everyone!
Laura on Friday's has a great spin class.
I’ve visited the Pasadena Y for the first time and was thrilled to swim laps in an outdoor pool. Sitting on a lounge chair and listening to music, I felt like I was on vacation. On a Thursday afternoon.
Friendly staff, nice facilities!
Welcoming staff and variety of activities.
The variety of activities available.
My visit to y always give me positive energy and happy feeling to deal with such nice people.
I like having the ability to go to multiple locations.
Great staff, terrific pool, like the food!
I like the fact that the pool is open all year. It is hard to find things for my kids to do after school during the winter to stay active. They love to swim so this really helps.
Everyone is friendly and very helpful.
I love the year round pool. And the entire upscale ambience of the facility.
It would be nice if you would allow Silver and Fit senior to join.
It's very clean and there are always machines available. Nice size sitting area in the snack bar.
I’m a lap swimmer and really enjoyed the lap pool. Very clean. The women’s locker room is clean and accommodating. It’s worth the longer ride for me.
I enjoy the morning lap swim until 9am, the water exercise classes (Monday - Saturday), conversations with people my age (seniors), and pot lucks. People who attend the classes are very nice.
Suggestions for Improvement: A female employee at the front desk needs an attitude adjustment, when she questioned my white hair peeking out of a hat, while my photo showed me with dark hair (a wig I wear to hide the fact that I have had cancer more than 10 times). She spoke of the difference publicly, in front of other people checking in, which was both embarrassing and humiliating for me. It made me feel very small, crushed my spirit a bit. The next time I saw her, I let her know how she made me feel, so that she will hopefully not repeat this experience with anyone else. I now avoid her, and show my key fob ID to anyone else.
June and July, seniors have to get up at the crack of dawn to swim laps, because the lap lanes are filled with kids. I can no longer get up at 6 am, so this is very disappointing. If the kids swim programs didn't start until 9 am, then seniors could still swim at 8 am.
The mowing and weed whacking during the 9 am aquatic exercise classes is dangerous for the people in the pool and on the deck, and makes it impossible to hear the instructor and listen to the music. Rocks and dirt could be propelled into the eyes of people. When I said something to the other ladies in the class, they said they had already reported it, and it fell on deaf ears. I wish the YMCA would take our safety more seriously. I had a broken toe and several bones in my foot fractured last June from a large man swimming in my lap lane, and he kicked my foot. I was unable to return to the Y until this August.
weights and machines typically available. Pleasant staff. Clean. Ample amenities.
Excellent gym!!
