Good instructors, friendly staff, clean facilities

I like the group exercise programs and being able to go to classes at multiple YMCA's. I also like the new spin bike indoor exercise room at El Camino YMCA.

I like ping pong and the ping pong group. I like the fact that you are sometimes open later than the Palo Alto Y

well established programs like swimming
Group exercise classes are excellent, with a good content of high intensity
I like your pool (though I wish the lanes were a little wider), and I like the staff. I am not thrilled that many times when I visit someone is using his phone in the locker room.
Love the instructors and also the variety of different workouts

Thank you
Instructors are good.
Appreciate the positive response to a gym scheduling issue that I had. Got great support from Rick Butler. Thanks.
I absolutely love the Aqua Fitness program! The instructors — Patti, Anu, Dee, and Kate — are fantastic, and the friendly aqua fitness community keeps me coming back week after week.
I also very much appreciate the kindness and friendliness of the lifeguards. From a participant’s perspective, the regular lifeguards feel like an important part of the aqua community — especially folks like Kyle and the lifeguard with the curly, medium-short dark hair. 😊
Finally, as a mom of two teens, it warms my heart to see how thoughtfully they assist Lynn when she’s exiting the pool. Their care not only gives participants confidence and hope in the next generation (including my teens!) but also reminds everyone that kindness and helping others still matter deeply.
Thank you!
Thank you!
The programs and activities are really well thought out and managed.
I like that the Y has programs for older adults. Also that the Y offers aqua exercise classes.
I do NOT like the new plans for signing into classes. Seems like Big Brother to me.
Good gym, all the equpment I need. Excellent teachers for classes
Friendly staff
Great equipment
Clean facilities
I'd love to see several manual, curved treadmills in the future. I find them to be easier on my body over 60 minute cardio sessions.
Son muy completos y es una ayuda para la comunidad
Lap swim availability
Pilates and stretching classes
I love all of the classes, the instructors are amazing! I love the pool facilities. It's a beautiful facility overall. It's always clean, and I have such a nice time working out. I love it.
