What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

Great family-friendly environment with lots of stuff for all of us to do, together and separately! The only thing I would change is that the summer camps don't seem to have enough instruction/tips for an experienced teenagers ( specifically basketball at this time).

What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

I split my time between the Y and Planet Fitness. The Y definitely feels more like a family. It has all the amenities from the pool, sauna, steam room, basketball, pickleball, and so many more. Janet at the front desk always offers a warm welcome. They have top notch physical therapy led by Kristen. The CEO Steve is always there involved helping out where ever he can. I coached my son there for basketball leagues for the last couple years and they run a great league.
Keep up the great work and vibe.

What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

The facility and staff are amazing, very professional. They are top notch in my book.
The facility is always clean and in working order.
Staff is always available to answer questions at a moment’s time. Also, it’s great that you can get a workout in at 24/7 anytime you want to. You won’t see that at other facilities.

What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

I like everything about this place. It’s a great place to get a good workout with an enjoyable environment. They have great equipment and a great pool to use as well. They offer classes, etc., I feel blessed that I have a membership here and I am happy to give this a 10 star rating.

There is only one thing to watch for, and that is if you are walking, you have to watch for the balls that could hit you. I was hit in the head, pretty bad one time by one of the balls. It would be nice if they could install some type of net to protect the walkers.

What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

The group fitness classes and the clean facility. However I often smell weed and it kind of makes me feel nauseated before working out. Many members have said the same thing about the hallway and locker rooms. I realize you cannot control that but maybe some type of air freshener down rhat hallway and in the locker rooms would help.

What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

The staff are always friendly and encouraging and this makes you want to go back for more! There is not one day that I don’t see a staff person cleaning or helping a member. The equipment is in good shape and I like the new setup upstairs! The indoor track is awesome, you can make new friends while working on your walk! I love the idea of being able to invite someone to go with you on “bring a friend Friday” twice a month, what a great idea. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who work hard everyday, you are awesome❤️
