Member Testimonials
fabulous classes, great instructors, great community, we love being there.
Clean, spacious and friendly
Please add classes on Sunday mornings.
There is something for everyone at every level.
The East Palo Alto YMCA is truly a community -- much more than just a place to show up and work out. Every program that I want is offered at this site. The trainers (particularly Jamar) are the heart of this place. The staff knows each person individually. And the instructors are of the highest quality: Bonnie, Allen, Kevin, Hector. Tony keeps the gym and the studios spotless while he is on the floor - the trainers don't just sit at the desk staring at the computer.
"Everybody know your name." You get hugs and support. I'm inspired to show up as many days as I can
Friendliness of staff and class participants. Skill, humor and attentiveness of instructor, Jamar.
It is a nice, clean facility, good equipment, wonderful swimming pool and friendly people. I especially like Enhance Fitness and Soul Line Dance.
Clean facility with a lot of exercise equipment.
All: clean, program the staff and the members.
You have Anne Caswell for Pilates and stretch
Group exercise; zumba; community
I mostly just use the exercise equipment, but I like that the staff are all so friendly -- they always greet me when arriving and leaving -- and that it's never so busy that I can't get access to the equipment I want to use. And it is well-maintained: light, bright, and cheery.
friendly staff and members. clean facilities. uncrowded.
Great instructors, classes and facilities. Would like longer hours and more classes on weekends.
The machines and programs for kids
Great classes
I love the step class held on Monday evenings and Ripped on Tuesday's. The staff is always welcoming and extends a warm greeting
We only use the gym for our own personal workouts, so none of the programs or activities are of interest to us. What we like most about the gym is the small number of people and the relatively quiet atmosphere during the afternoons, when we come for our workouts. Much nicer than the Y on Ross Road, where we started out, and also closer to us.
I attend a few classes on a regular basis. I like the location of the exercise room, bright, with big window.
Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
I use the elliptical weekly; I have taken Zumba classes and currently taking stretching and strengthening classes. The staff are friendly and everything is very clean.
I like the new Step class by Dana C!!
Need to have a hip hop class!
Love Hector's bootcamp on Thursday morning at 9am and Jamar;s abs on Thursday mornning at 8:30am
Great childcare, spin class, and weight room!
Respectful, very warm, knowledgeable staff. The kids club staff keeps the children engaged and the kids love the teacher and the daily activities and project during their stay while the parents exercise.
Good gym.
great customer service friendly staff. but I do not like the fact that I have to pay $74 per month and yet the swimming pool is not open! pls consider reducing the price till you open the pool.
