Member Testimonials
I like having the option of two YMCAs within a 15 minute driving distance. I like the ability to look at schedules in two places, which increases the pool of classes I can take.
I like the indoor pool and the intimate feeling at the Palo Alto YMCA.
I'm someone who likes change, options, diversity in my day. I enjoy seeing a different "crowd" at each Y. I am 71 years old and have belonged to the YMCA on and off over the years, and was so pleased to learn I could also go to the Y in Palo Alto when I last rejoined
Lots of variety of classes. Open hours that work for me. Friendly staff.
I have participated two classes and I like the atmosphere in YMCA.
