Friendly staff and great facility
The staff at the front desk was outstanding to deal with
Everything is great except you might want to consider salt water pools. The chlorine is a bit harsh and carcinogenic.

i love the rowing machine
The pool is the best in the Bay Area
Just joined. I haven't tried the prgorams, yet. Very clean facility. Great pool. Great gym. Friendly staff.
Small and close to us.
I have been a family member since 1997. The Family Y has been an integral part of our family activities since my daughters were young children. When they were in high school and college we worked out together in Body Pump and Cycling classes, and used the Bank center. Now, as an older adult, I use the lap pools frequently.
The Family Y is a wonderful asset to our community. I love the instructors, and am so pleased to see that there are new, well-trained lifeguards for the pools.
I know it has been a long road to "rebuild" after COVID, and hats off to you all.
Friendly staff. We need more classes in the evening like Body pump. Thanks
Variety of offerings and skill levels.
Group classes, facilities, staff
All the people working there are very professional and willing to help when needed.
They have substantial knowledge on how to use the exercise machines. Believe me. Some of new machines are more difficult than drive a car on busy freeways.
Aquatics
Good facilities and friendly staff
atmosphere, variety of programs and activities, friendliness, mission, family friendly
Your programs are wonderful, your staff is very respectful, and I am grateful for all that you do for the health of our community.
I just joined qnd I love all of the range of daily classes and the instructors are all awesome. Really well done at the Southwest SV! Only facility I think might need a little repair is the free weight section of the weight room . Looks a little old and rickety.
The people and the atmosphere and the flexibility
I like the family oriented and down-to-earth atmosphere at the facility. I also appreciate the gym, as well as all the variety of activities available, including for children.
Warm pool, experienced teachers, consistently the same teacher.
the friendly atmosphere, the wonderful Larry , who knows everybody's name.
The reception personnel. The space.
I love that the Y is a non-profit that genuinely cares about the health and wellbeing of its members.
Can you add pilates classses?
Would love to have yoga or pilates classes in early morning.
I enjoy swimming laps and then going to sit in the sauna to wind down/relax BUT I am amazed by how inconsiderate some people are when using the sauna
- one person brings a radio to listen to while in the sauna but does not use earplugs so everyone else has to listen to his sports program
- some people enter the sauna fully clothed (maybe basketball players) to warm up so are actively doing their stretching exercises
- some people use the sauna as a gym and show off
- some people like to lie down and occupy a whole bench
- one person brings lots of paper towels into the sauna to dry off the sweat from his body
Why can't people just sit quietly in the sauna
Don’t use them much. I’m in the gym every day
All of the group classes I’ve taken have been great, with good instructors. Instructors and participants are all friendly. The folks at the front desk are friendly. I like the variety of classes offered, in particular Body Pump, Core, Body Combat, Body Balance, Vinyasa Yoga, and Zumba.
My spouse also likes pool and Stretch & Balance, Body Balance, & pickleball.
Swimming
Nice pool. Open all day!
