The Banks center is always helpful for maintaining upper body (and lower body) strength.
swimming pool, hot tub and sauna
I am so happy attending to the YMCA, that feel more energy and healthy.
One concern about swimming pool, closes from 11 to 3 pm, a long period and many time no opportunity to swim
Pool, clean change room, nice staff!
Swimming and weight machines
The accessibility and price point. The gym is very well equipped and clean.
I am new to YMCA, but so far I love the indoor Swimming pool facilities.
I only wish the water in hot tub would be hotter.
I also like the small gym.
The clases in the Pool, and the Gym

Swimming pool.
Excellent!
Lots of great dance classes, great teachers.
Wishes: 1) I wish you had a stretch room like El Camino Y.
2) I wish you had a Sunday Zumba class.
Palo Alto and El Camino have conflicting Zumba classes on Saturday,
but none on Sunday. It would be great if you’d spread things out.
Still … Love ya!
They are upbeat and focused
I like the aerobics classes led by Carol and Marina.
The atmosphere is good, but the showers are not clean. Paper towel is in limited supply.
The people in the front desk are courteous.
Availability for swimming early in the morning.
The friendliness of the early morning staff.
Friendly life guards.

weight training
Swimming pool is excellent!
My Palo Alto Ross Road YMCA offers a wonderful diversity of classes, personal training, swimming, cardio and weights. Since reopening classes have been steadily added and I am so happy to have so many options. Thank you to our wonderful staff headed up by Delaysio. He makes a big difference, as well as Jasmine, Nathaniel, Terence, and Yaser.
Proximity to home and ability to go to different locations
Your staff are really great. I use the exercise bikes now (still have some kind of a hip injury) and there is always one free, although 2 (out of 5) have maintenance problems (1 is shut down and the other clunks loudly on every pedal rotation).
but anyway i really like the friendly staff and they have helped me immensely several times when i left something behind at the YMCA !! Please keep up the great work !!
I love the friendly atmosphere and the wonderful people who work there!
The poor hours need to improve.
The Y is convenient, clean, friendly, family friendly, unintimidating (as are other gyms), has fun zumba, and I feel good going there for my community.
The Y on Ross Rd is part of my best day for health!
I like it that I can use Ys around the Bay area depending on where I am that day.
I am sorry that the Y on Ross Road has not recovered to full attendance yet, but it appears to be coming back now. Hurrah!
