Member Testimonials
I love the Central YMCA on The Alameda in San Jose. It has the biggest mix of amenities that I value - racquetball courts, dry sauna, and outdoor pool. I even drive 10 miles to use this one despite the location on Quito only being 2 miles away. My rating of 9 could be moved higher if other locations offered one or more of these amenities.
The variety of classes, the friendly staff and great instructors, the variety of people I meet and the fact that EVERYONE is made to feel welcome.
By the way...Amy is an awesome instructor!
There’s something for every fitness level.
Group activities
Courteous & knowledgable instructors. Decent equipment.

I recommend our YMCA every chance I get. When folk ponder joining a fitness club, I instinctively respond YMCA! I mention the benefits likely to interest them; close me encouraging pitch with even though one may not go regularly, our YMCA is civic donation to our community.
The quality of the staff, from those at the check in desk to those that give directions. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. 5 stars!
Love the cycling and RPM classes. Only hope for more time slots. My son goes in the kids area and has never had a bad experience. I take him to the 123 grow class and the free play at least a couple times a week. My husband likes to swim for exercise and I use the cardio area a lot.
I utilize the handball department but I am happy with the staff is willing to share with you and I appreciate the hr department
Love that there is programming all week long for my kids. Also the parents night out times are amazing and the staff is always so friendly.
I am a swimmer and enjoy the use of both pools.
friendly staff, clean facility......
I'm a handball player and use the handball courts regularly. The courts are well maintained and the Y is supportive of handball activities including Youth Handball.
The Y is supportive of children and has many programs for kids.
The Y offers financial support for kids and adults with financial problems.
The Y is well maintained.
The Y staff is friendly and professional, including Albert Negrete, Thomas Russell, Eric Sullivan, LeAnn Carrillo and Barbara Cardenas.
I have one recommendation: provide space and activities for older members who need companionship and interaction with other people. This recommendation is essentially for a Senior Center. Having been a Y member for many years, the Y is the first place I would choose to go if Senior Center activities were available. If I were physically unable to play handball, I would prefer to stay at the Y if it had shuffleboard or bocce ball for me in my old age. I could also continue to have human interaction with the friends I made at the Y over the years.
The number and variety and the numerous options at all times of the day. Love the 6:15 aqua aerobics and the circuit training. Love Zumba.
Free swim in indoor pool, not just lanes, but wish the water polo wasn't early Sunday afternoon during prime time when everyone else wants to swim.
Variety however most are daytime and don’t accommodate the working class
I appreciate all the help from Haiyen, the class to increase my balance, strength and endurance. The staff is very supportive and friendly.
I love the feeling at the Y. The water aerobic teachers are so good. I love Manuela and her yoga class.
People are very friendly and everyone is clearly welcomed at the Y. I love that!
