We couldn't be happier with the Thursday basketball sessions at the East Palo Alto Family YMCA! The incredible coach is both knowledgeable and encouraging.The program is well-structured and focuses on skill development while keeping the kids engaged and having fun. Our kids are learning, growing, and loving every minute of it. The coach is fantastic and the sessions are top-notch. Highly recommend! Looking forward to more sessions like this.

Friendly staff, great facilities (especially the pool)!
The most important thing about the EPA YMCA is the people there. The atmosphere is friendly, non judgmental and welcoming. I began my exercise ritual there about 15 yrs ago. Through the years, there have been many classes I have taken with excellent teachers teaching spinning, yoga, boxing, TRX to name a few. Knowing I needed to do something for my physical as well as mental health I couldn’t have made a better decision. I have made many friends there and I’m thankful to the down to earth people I can have the pleasure to be around.
I love your pool!
Staff are knowledgeable and respectful
Really nice basketball gym
I haven't joined any program yet but will do in near future. So far I do like the facility and staff who provide excellent guidance.
I love the pool! I just wish there were more times available.
everything. jamar was excellent giving me an orientation
I like the outdoor pool in the summer, where I can sunbathe, after swimming. there are chairs and tables with umbrellas for shade around the pool.
YMCA has the greatest programs. One program I like the most is the swimming pools.
They are well cared for and clean. I swim almost every day at the pools in Palo Alto or East Palo.
The pool is the best one of the Silicon Valley Y pools.
Kids programs, and community programs
the easy access to the programs, professionalism, attention and care
The East Palo Alto YMCA has an incredible sense of community! It's smaller size allows members to get to know other members, as well as the staff. Classes are welcoming and non intimidating for new people. Teachers are great. Jamar is the heart and soul of the upstairs gym. It is unfortunate that Hector doesn't teach more than his one outstanding Zumba class. After subbing for Lucy, Thet is now much beloved by her class members.
There is a wide variety of classes with something for everyone.
My only 'complaint' is that some of the equipment is getting old- it would be nice to see some new/updated machines.
I am 73 years old and I never feel out of place as I think I would at another gym that caters mostly to younger people. The diversity of ethnicity, gender, age, etc. is special because there isn't the separateness that exists in our area. At the Y we're all just there to be healthy. I like that everyone is friendly and cheerful. It's just a great vibe whenever I'm there. I often get the comment, due to my age, of "You go to the gym?!" Then I tell them about the EPA Y and urge them to check it out for themselves. I am incredibly grateful to have this resource and will continue to support it.
Your staff 🙂. I really like Jamar and Hector’s enthusiasm and energy.
i make use of the basketball courts - i appreciate being able to get a basket to myself to practice

The pool is a hidden gem! Also lifeguards were very friendly and helpful! We normally use Sequoia YMCA, but love having outdoor pool during the summer!
