Member Testimonials
All the classes and programs offered, the staff camaraderie, and the social environment as well!
Friendly staff .
Instructors, different choice of classes
I am veery new to San Jose, and I was delighted to discover the local YMCA. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. I have been taking a few group classes in Tai Chi and BodyBalance and found that the instructors were excellent and very easy to approach. Thank you.
I love the YMCA and have been treated well by all employees. My difficulty is in using the apps to make appointments etc. It was much easier in the past when no appointment was needed. But it appears that you have cut over half of your aqua classes which I love, so of course they become crowded.
Why were they cut?
Its great.
Sauna!
The staff is courteous, knowledgeable, and take the time to make sure you have a good session. They explain to your satisfaction questions you may have on the center.
I always walk in with a smile on my face as I look forward to being greeted with a smile and a kind word.
I don’t use them
i love the zumba class
I like the senior classes in the morning. I don't like the change in schedule resulting in Wednesday Land Fitness ending at 12:30 pm. Neither my husband nor I will be able to participate in this class anymore.
Group exercises and the accountability. Friendly workers and coaches
Community feel, fun and effective workouts!
Good instructors and I like the indoor pool
We are really enjoying the program. Everyone is so nice/friendly/helpful, and I do feel like my child's skills are expanding each class. I do wish there was a bit less turnover in staff, and more consistency with who is teaching her each week, but I do understand that schedules change with school starting, etc. Thanks for everything.
I really enjoy going to YMCA is a good place to go too
Everything! Excellent instructors and a really nice community of people. The Y has made me feel welcomed since day 1. Also, it’s so cheap compared to other options in the area, and again, the instructors are VERY good.
The building is a bit old, but I can see how the administration is committed to keep improving it with the resources they have.
The facility offers several choices of workout options for various skill levels. The facility itself is is large with two pools, offering a variety of activities for various interests and skill levels.
I like everything about the Central Y. I enjoy the weight machines, the cardio room, and the pools. But most of all I enjoy the staff - they are always friendly and helpful!
The convenient timing to make the opportunity to regularly exercising se possible.
I haven’t taken advantage of them, but it seems like you have a lot of activities for people to participate in. My main focus is swimming and I am enjoying my time in the outdoor pool. I do take advantage of the masters on Friday.
The wide array of classes and levels. Hours offered.
instructors are all terrific! Camille, Noriko, Emily, Kelly, and I hear great things about HoChin (sp?). Many options for programs at all times of the day and all days of the week. Lots of options for seniors
I like the variety of activities, especially movement connected to music and dance. Lots of choices in that category including Glitz dance, Land Fitness, Zumba, etc. Sometimes singing along happens spontaneously. I feel connected during these classes and end up having a stronger work out.
Really fun and great choices to exercise to keep It going
Lots of classes ! A couple lifeguards BLAST the music in the INDOOR pool area and it Echoes off the walls…
many classes for seniors
Everyone is helpful, nice and professional. I have only used the pool as of yet though.
The work out especially the spa, the people there are nice and always welcome.
