Teacher Madeline is good...my 5yo n the levels 3-4
I'm happy with the overall experience at YMCA
Swimming and the hot tub!
great program, wonderful caring instructors, nice practicing setup, kiddo loves swimming!
The EGYM is fantastic! after 2.5 years of regular use at 67 I feel strong in my entire body. I love that it is so easy to use - i never used weights before because it was so fiddly to adjust every time on machines.
Also, I appreciate that the Egym is a circuit and that people are instructed not to jump the line directly in front of the rotating group when it's crowded. Thank you for making that clear.
I would like to see a meditation or restorative yoga class in the evening during the week. M-Th
Also, it would be nice if there was some community space for people meeting and talking. during this time of upheaval, we need to be able to socialize and talk about what's happening, and support each other.
I like the friendly atmosphere, especially the staff who are always willing to go the extra mile:))
It's fun to walk in and do my stuff to stay in shape.
Thank you all so very much!

The pool is indoors. It’s on a bike street.
The swim lessons don’t get cancelled and the swim instructors are good. Also the length of the lesson is right
I am 73 years old and love to take advantage of the exercise classes I can do:
Larry's Senior Fitness
Annette's Stretch and Balance
Elena's Zumba Gold
Aqua Fitness
The teachers are fantastic and each classes helps me in different ways. I need to keep moving all parts of my body and this arrangement really works.
Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging.
Love it.
Clean and well tended. I wish the cleaners were in more places.
The teachers are very good and teach their students every skill with great care. It has been 7 months that my son is learning swimming at YMCA Palo Alto and he has learnt a lot in all his classes. Thank you.
The price is right, and the installations are very good. Very friendly and professional staff
The instructor, Jack, for early Tuesday morning is great. We have made friends. We get a good workout.
I like Zumba and U-Jam, those are only 2 classes I tried so far. They are great!
Good senior programs and activities
I like the Senior Fitness class with Larry. He is loved by all!
I don’t like that there are few classes for seniors. Zumba Gold is on Sundays, not a good day at all.
The gymn for pickleball, physical training and treadmill.
I only use the strength machines.
Many options for all, including skill levels
Couch Sophia is very nice and patient, we love her. Would be nice if makeup classes are offered when there’s empty pace from other classes.
There is a wide variety of activities to choose from and they are available at different times throughout the day. I can choose an activity that matches my energy and level of challenge I’m looking for that day. Both staff and patrons are friendly and inclusive. It feels good to be in a place where I see people in all life stages exercising and persevering in spite of challenges and setbacks
fun, wholesome activities with good selection of choices
Diverse and friendly atmosphere and offerings

Friendly, inclusive.
