The environment gym equipment availability. On a separate note, please open the workout gym and pools on Sunday at 7am.
There’s a huge variety and the activities are geared for families to do together. The staff is super friendly and helpful.
Our Body Pump teacher, Sue Duffek!
I've only done aqua aerobics classes at the Y. I especially like my instructors--Sue, Marina, and Anu. Other staff is generally welcoming and helpful. I also like the facility itself. It's clean and airy.
Skilled, friendly staff and a well maintained facility.
Good teachers, very helpful trainers in the central gym area, friendly Y participants, good mix of different cultures, ages, interests!
I like that you have so many group exercise classes
Great classes and teachers
I only use the fitness rooms. I think the staff is great and the maintenance on the equipment means that they are for the most part available. The staff is professional and friendly and communicative.
Lots of options. Machines are kept clean.
It offers every family member something
I probably only use 10% of what the Y offers, but I still believe that it is a great deal. (I do use that 10% a lot, however).
Our older daughter loves the teen summer camps!
Staff, throughout facility,f have been very good to this newcomer!
swimming pool and swimming lessons
the warm pool!!
Clean, friendly, great treadmills and workout area
I like that everyone in the staff is so nice and welcoming.
The classes are varied and everyone, regardless of size, weight, age, abilities, are welcomed. What I don’t like is all the chatter in the swim class, disrespectful of the teacher, and the rule that I can’t wear blue jeans in the weight room.
Group Ex classes!
Swim lessons when my kids where young and youthbasketball league
Love my trainer Randi Bethel! So patient.
I really wish you hadn't discontinued the Masters 101 (not sure of name) session that was at 6pm in the evening. I had to stop and then when I came back, it was gone. Any kind of occasional stroke clinic for intermediate adult swimmers to improve stroke and distance would be a real boon! I'm not nearly good enough for real Masters....
I always feel welcomed and good when visiting our Palo Alto Family Y. The well equipped and beautiful fitness facilities have allowed me to do all my exercises efficiently and in a wonderful environment.
The people!!!!
For me, it's not about programs and activities; I use the Y as a gym. It's expensive, but it's a very good gym.
I like to go to a clean pool, get my cardio workout.
All of the water activities
I really like the pool. But in my past say 10 visits, the educational pool has been closed 3 times due to fecal contamination. Generally from infants...I believe. Why is this allowed? I am concerned to have my kids taking lessons in this pool. As for the lap pool, can the temperature be raised a couple degrees please? Thanks
I like variety of programs
warm water pool, excellent teachers, friendly & supportive members
