Member Testimonials
Good equipment, great trainers (Live Strong), helpful front desk staff
Many classes to choose from and good teachers.
Friendly members and staff and a lot of group class offerings, excellent Kids Club staff
I don't live in California but when I visit my family in Santa Clara, I always make sure to visit the Northwest Y for its wonderful offerings. A fabulous place! I do group exercise classes and I enjoy the variety you offer. What a great selection! The instructors are top notch and I like that the classes are full and have enthusiastic participants.
I want to give a shout out to Eyal who leads the Body Combat class that I attend. His music and choreography are top-notch and his energy and expectations spur me on to keep going. I also love the room the class is taught in. It is big and beautiful which adds to the experience. The facilities are very clean, including the women’s locker rooms. I also take Body Combat classes at Southwest and I’m happy whenever Eyal subs there. I wish his teaching times coincided better with my schedule so I could take more of his classes.
variety of group exercise classes & great instructors
At the moment, I only use the pool for lap swims...but am very pleased with the level of cleanliness and the water temperature.
Clean facilities, great personal training program, great trainers, nice staff.
Some programs (e.g. Barret, Pilates) are very hard to registered in.
Usually just do weights at this location, the weight room is large, clean and the equipment is great. Plenty of things to use, even when it is busy.
Livestrong was excellent and resulted in my regular use of the gym ever since.
The instructors are good and so is the sense of community
Love classes you offer in ymca. I just feel that all the dance workout classes are always at dinner or lunch time. Wish you offer some on other time slots as well.

Las piscinas y el ejercicio yoga perfectos
Our son has grown in his swimming ability in the last 3 weeks at the YMCA swim class then he did in 16 weeks at Hippo Swim School. The instructors are informative and responsive. Wish we would have started at the YMCA first!
