Member Testimonials
I like our swim instructor Noah
I use the pools for low impact workout. The pools are clean and spacious. I would like to use the jacuzzi, but it looks a little slimy.
I like how friendly and welcoming the YMCA is
I enjoy the electric and friendly atmosphere that the YMCA presents. It begins with the amazing and professional front desk service from CJ, Chase and Zack. Then it extends to the always energetic, thriving and supportive Kelly Zumba sessions. Overall, Thomas has done a fabulous job with providing excellent client service support. The YMCA is a safe, supportive and trusting environment to socialize and make strides obtaining your fitness goals. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful professional service that the YMCA provides!
Consistency of program between instructors and levels, excellent training for teachers, friendly teachers who make the kids comfortable.
Particularly impressed with the excellent communication from recent staff members.
Lots of exercise machines. Nice folks.
clean locker room, friendly staffs, nice pools, nice sauna
Outdoor swimming pool is great.
The LIVESTRONG Program is amazing. Kelly, Sean & Erica are very supportive and kind. I love the way they encourage and teach the classes. They are great at meeting everyone at there personal pass and level which is different for each individual.
Its very nice and clean plus different facilities at different location
We are first time participants of the youth basketball program and so far we've had a pleasant experience. The coaches are great, very kid focused and like to have fun with kids and engage them. Communication and schedules have been well communicated. Facility has been clean and well maintained so far
Casual fun instruction. Low pressure to perform but still encouraging kids to compete. Perfect for a 5 year old learning a sport for the first time.
My 8 yr old son is playing basketball this year. One practice during the week and one game on Saturday morning makes it easy to fit in our schedule. He's having a great time and improving his skills. It's a win for both of us.
I'm new to the YMCA. I've visited the gym twice, and I like it very much. I attended Zumba Fest last Sunday. It was so exciting and energetic. The instructors were amazing.
Very good
Thank you so much
My 2 boys enjoy playing basketball at the YMCA. They love their practices during the week and games on Saturday. Coach Adrian and Coach Andy are great with the kids!!!
The children's activities. I would like to have one of the women's locker room be open to children under 5 when accompanied with an adult (Central Y). Going down the steps when both 2 year old and adult are wet is difficult and there is not enough privacy for adult in child's locker room. There are two female locker rooms one should allow women with children. There is no reason for not allowing a parent/guardian to take their young child with them especially after swimming with them.
You have Showers
We have made regular use of the weight machines and the cardio room where we use the Expresso stationary bikes. We have also appreciated being able to use the lap pool and to bring our grandkids as guests for the rec pool. As of yet, we have not attended any classes. We also like that the staff are helpful and available for questions and advice regarding use of the weight machines and other equipment. The facility is clean and pretty well maintained given that it is a ‘vintage’ facility. We like that the Y is a good place to bring families.
Trainers, cleanliness, community feeling
You have great staff!!
The machines are new. The place is clean. I like the sauna. There are many activities I am yet to eneoll
Nice coach and staffs.
Instructors are good. They watch kids well.
I like everything about the YMCA. It’s a great place. Great staff. I recommend all my friends.
I've play at just about every club that has handball, but the San Jose YMCA has some of the best competition and courts.
The indoor Swimming Pool and The Outdoor Spa. However, in recent times, the showers lose water pressure (and sometimes no water OR hot water at all) very often which becomes frustrating after enjoying a swim and spa experience.
Central YMCA is the best location for me.
I enjoy swimming and weight lifting.
I love the coaches most of all. I am so impressed by how inclusive it is for kids who are maybe “late to the game” for sports. Our coach this time coach Andy is an absolute angel on earth.

Good swimming teachers! Friendly and supportive
