Good community outreach and service
Good, friendly staff….appreciate those who work early as well as those who work late & weekends/holidays.
Family friendly
The instructors are very nice. The one thing I don’t like is that they cancel session with a very short notice which does not allow to find another session for the month
Lots of them, and plenty of times.
Freindly and safe
There are lots of program options, friendly staff, solid coaching, and it’s somewhat affordable.
Coach Andy is great in motivating the kids!
Swimming classes are great and lots of time slots to choose from. The instructors are awesome and the whole staff from off to lifeguards
Central Y offers varieties of activities. Children and families friendly. Love both indoor and outdoor pools with flexible hours. Staff are friendly.
Coaches are very friendly with the kids, they focus in teaching kid’s swimming along with having fun. My kids love getting to y for swim lessons. Good job guys!

I do not engage in group activities at the Y but rather use the machine and free weight rooms. Both are well-equipped, and the rooms are usually neat and clean.
Over the years I have also used Susan as my personal trainer which has been wonderful.
I love your pools!!!
thanks
All Y staff members are friendly and helpful, particularly at the front desk! Their smiles and greetings are apparently contagious, because this Y just feels over all like a nice place to visit.
Other stuff:
The permanent (?) post-pandemic outdoor workout areas are a great way to take advantage of our generally mild California weather, and are a real incentive to keep up an exercise routine.
The basketball court is nicely maintained, but... If $$ allow, some possible improvements:
- Fix the dead spot in the floor under the basket closest to the front desk
- Keep a stock of full-sized basketballs in the gym. (29.5).
- Replace the fan-shaped backboards with rectangular ones. (I know this is expensive, but it would actually make the side baskets useable.)
Anyway, thanks for everything, and keep up the good work!
It’s Family oriented Athletic club , where everybody know somebody l have been a member for over thirty years always latest equipment friendly staff , and very good swimming and group e Exercise programs , personally l come at least three times a week and l am more eager to see my friends than exercise .

Swimming , spa and all exercise machines.
The Y is welcoming to everyone
Great instructors
The body pump class
I use the facilities but not the programs or activities.
Swimming class and kid’s club
Dave's spin class! Best spin instructor ever. Lots of good group exercise instructors. Low-key, friendly members... not all decked out in expensive workout gear with attitude,
The youth basketball program run by Andy Garcia is a great starting point for any little hooper.
love the YMCA.
My husband and I love that we have 2 different well maintained pools to swim in at some point during the day depending on the YMCA's and our schedule. The app notification is really great in giving a heads up if there is a pool or facility closure! A very nice feature, not to mention schedule classes and pool schedule for various YMCA's fairly local. Different YMCAs allow for even greater flexibility if your home location doesn't work for you on any particular day; just look-up another location to see if the pool's open or has a class you want to take.
The various classes allow for variety for everyone of differing abilities, personal needs, and schedules.
The variety of machines are also very nice to use.
I need to mention the enthusiasm of the staff. Every staff person seems happy to be at work and if there are concerns they are addressed immediately. All are willing to listen or direct you to whom to speak to if your looking for answers. I feel safe at the Y.
I love the staff! They are such caring and friendly people. I only swim there, so I'm not too familiar with the other programs and activities. But I appreciate what the team have done over the COVID period.
cycling, yoga
Swimming
Aqua aerobics. If there is a possibility of more morning classes in the indoor pool, that would be great. Including a Monday 6:15am class.
