Member Testimonials
Very clean and good for kids, the pool is great
when i first joined The Y we had instructions from people who were energetic, fun, and motivated to do a class.
I wish that the water instructors.
iI seems like the Y would rather recycle people who are boring.
i do water classes Mon through Thurs and ai end up talking because there really is no real instruction.
i like the staff.
Very helpful and friendly staff.
Lap pool open early
Hot tub

The best feature of the Y is the multi-generational demographics. Love to see the older folks partake in the classes in the gym and in the pool. would love to see more activities for the younger kids - maybe you have after-school activities that I am not aware of. Staffers in front desk is a mixed bag of personalities; some will greet while others don't even bat an eye. Overall, you all are doing a great job - keep it up! Thank you.
The vast array of shared activities, and the spaces to work out, take a group class, swim, and enjoy one-on-one time with a personal trainer
Quality service for people with Parkinson's disease.
First, let me say that likeilihood of recommendation is not the best measure of enjoyment. I typically put a middling number in answer to that question, because I am simply not much of a recommender. I was horrified to learn that if you answer less than 9 or 10 to an XFinity survey about a service visit, the technician would alllegedly be suspended for a week. Just because I said I was unlikely to recommend, being a low recommender.
That said, I am totally taken by the egym weight machines, which represent an order of magnitude improvement over the older ones. I do wish the NFC chips would work from a larger distance, but that's a pretty minor complaint.
I have also been attending Larry's Parkinson's Class, which is enjoyable even if I don't fully understand the purpose of some of the less taxing maneuvers. Great people, and Larry is a phenomenon of nature.
I am looking forward to getting certified on more of the machines in the weight/treadmill room, since I understand the egym membership covers all. That's the next step. It's great to have returned to the Y after the Covid absense.

NOT ALL HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE DRUG ADDICTS, IM PROOF OF THAT!!!!
The senior fitness class helps its members in so many ways: physically, socially and mentally. This is continually confirmed by the constant increase in the number of attendees.
Larry's organized but gentle approach is much appreciated.
Available to sign up for classes for exercise
I really like that you offer a PD class. It is helpful in keeping patients mobile.
I’m a regular swimmer and use the pool 4–5 times a week. It seems the pool facility is in need of some maintenance or upgrades. Heather has been doing an excellent job keeping things running, and she’s clearly working hard with the resources available. Still, the facility is showing its age and could benefit from more consistent upkeep. The indoor pool is a major asset for the Palo Alto Y, and I believe we all want to keep it in great condition.
