Friendliness
Not enough of the classes that I like/need but more than I can get elsewhere, and friendly people.
One of the best ones ive been too
I love M,W,F spin class classes that begin at 6:25. This allows me to get to work on time. Laree and Paula are wonderful.
The weight room and staff are also terrific.
Jen B. 5:30 Zumba class is my favorite in the Bay Area - and I tried many.
Terri Yamamoto's Pilates class is fabulous. Even after years of classes each class is unique.
And finally, I love the mission of the YMCA. I love the tolerance. I love the compassion.
Thank you.
We like the classes--especially body pump and sometimes cycling and yoga. Also we like the warm pool and the hot tub. We like to bring our grandkids in the pool ( they are babies a and toddler). I like that the Y is trying to help low income youth with support academically. I also like that the Y gives out scholarships so low income people can belong to the Y. We don't like the new coffee machine as much as the old system because now it involves a lot of waiting.
Love fran’s Pilates class
Love Sue's zumba class, the new coffee machine, the friendly folks at the desk, the people
who clean up, what a good group of folks.
The Y is s friendly place and the membership cost makes it reasonable to belong to. There are so many opportunities to find something that fits your needs.
Love the pool options - laps, warm water exercise and jacuzzi!
Wish you had more Pilates classes though.
Thanks
Childcare, access to pool, nice people
I love the Les Mills classes - especially BodyPump and CxWorks. I also like the swimming pool. I use it for lap swimming 3 times a week.
I basically use the Y as a gym. I use the wellness room; I don't usually use classes, or even the swimming pool very often.
I like the way the place feels friendly and inclusive. I like the nice facilities and good equipment. At the hour I come, usually it is not crowded.
The Ross Road facility also happens to be about a 20-minute bike ride from my house, which is just the right distance for getting in some aerobic exercise on the way to and from.
Nice pool, and responsible life guard
The amount of classes and activities you offer. Very skilled instructors
I just use the machines but haven't done any programs or organized activities.
Overall, the Y is great. My only "complaint": I do think the drains in the showers of the men's locker rooms need to be cleaned more often--often there are large clumps of hair in the drains.
The programs are catered to all age groups which is nice for the whole family.
Everyone is independent and engaged at the same tim when we enter The Y
The staff is mostly friendly and welcoming.
I love all of the different classes!
I like programs for all ages and abilities.

Variety of activities,
Staff who monitor and help.
Personal trainer option.
