The sauna is the number one reason I go to the Y.
Table Tennis and Weight room
Variety of equipment. Clean, spacious facility. Very helpful staff.
The instructor provides a variety of water activities that build on skills and confidence levels in the water. I am impressed with how successful the instructor is able to upgrade and downgrade to cater to each individual student's level within the group. My only wish is more class slots so it is easier to get lessons.
Love the pool and the basketball courts

I miss my exercise teachers from 2020. Will Jack ever return? Any effort to start senior exercise classes similar to those offered in 2020 with low impact aerobic movement would be appreciated to replace Jack’s classes. Thank you.

The eGym.
I like the pools, the jacuzzi and the variety of machines for stretching and exercise ,I like that you can go with your children because children can have their own activities too. I also like the classes of sumba . I like everything. I believe there is plenty of stuff to do and there is no way you can get bored.vI love YMCA
The instructors.
It would be better if we can extend the pool hour, especially after work and weekend

The senior fitness class adds to the health of many seniors- physically and socially.
Larry makes everyone feel welcome and worth his time.
Kids club staff is most important factor to me because I had not so good experience. Ny kids ages 3 and 2 years old were crying as soon as we approached the YMCA Club and I actually stopped my membership. However, the YMCA staff was so nice and changed the child carers, I really like new ones at YMCA Palo Alto. My kids are suddenly happy to stay at kids club:)
Other than that, the building is always clean and the front desk and gym staff are friendly. I love to use the Sauna. It would be nice if they had children ballet in Palo Alto facility as they do in Mountain View.
My husband and I are grateful for the Parkinson exercise class with Larry and Carolyn. It is the only one offered in the area. The exercise is important as well as the socialization.
