Porque el personal es muy amables
I like the Hoist machines
Kids club, swimming pool
I can walk and I love the claasses u offer
Sequoia Y is a small facility with a very friendly staff.
I like the wide offer of classes and that there are offers on the weekend too. I also like the care taken in looking for a sub when the teacher cannot make it so that we do not miss the class. My favorite instructor is Tina, she is always inspiring us to work hard. I also like First name removed Elena when she gets to sub for Tina.
The water programs
Pool is great. Hours are flexible
swimming
the programs and activities are very good and fit for different level and ages, I like them and recommend them to others.
I love the Tues and Thurs 11am water aerobics class. However, I'm concerned that the time for the classes is going to change and that will be a problem for me.
I'm all for adding more classes but without changing the times of existing classes.
Water classes
Your staff is very friendly and helpful. I love that you have the exercise machines that allow me to do my physical therapy, especially since I don’t have these at home. I like seeing and hearing people talk to those they know. You’re fostering a sense of community. Your instructors are helpful with this also by asking new students to introduce themselves and returning students to say their names too (at least in the classes I’ve attended so far).
The programs are varied so there is something for everyone. The instructors are wonderful, making the classes worthwhile and not intimidating.
The Senior Fitness program has been serving me for 10 years. It is fantastic. I asked to have my payment lowered if possible, and my ask was granted. I appreciate the care and dedication of the workers/staff.
Community
Rigorous and vigorous senior programs. Senior fitness on Monday Wednesday Friday is a stand out. We need more of these classes perhaps on Tuesday and Thursday.
I greatly appreciate the job that Andres is doing - glad to see summer camp going well. Hoping basketball camp and swim lessons continue to grow (revenue). The pool is the lifeblood of the facility and it's closure would likely significantly impact membership/viability of the site. If there is something that the membership can do to help reduce monthly closures due to chemical imbalance/filtration, please make that known.
Thanks to the broader staff as well, Andrew, Lisa, Xavier -- whole host of others that I encounter.
Everyone is so friendly and fun. The facilities are extremely clean and great to use. I am only using the dressing room, shower, and pool at the moment. Life Guards were helpful answering questions I had about swimming equipment. I really find that using the pool is helping my back pain and problem. I couldn't be happier with the YMCA!
We like that it’s almost personal lesson because there are just 3 o4 kids in the class
I love the water aerobics classes!
Obviously, these can only take place when the pool is open. Today, it is closed for the second day in a row, which is frustrating and disappointing for all concerned.
The absolute best situation is to have the Sequoia Pool open without interruption during all hours the facility is open, to facilitate water aerobics classes, but also individual exercise. The pool obviously needs a higher level of maintenance.
Finances are a complex issue. You have just announced that my senior monthly membership fee is going up by $3 a month. I do not consider this a problem, but I would hope the extra revenue generated will be used to pay a living wage to our lifeguards and water aerobics instructors.
On the other hand, I really wonder why we are paying to use a pool that is unavailable far too often. My suggestion is that you refund a dollar (al least) to pool users for every day the pool is closed. It would give us a small price break, but more importantly, I think it would serve as motivation to maintain the pool at the level required.
I like the "Barre" classes at the time given. I like the Bodypump class on Sundays.
I like every body in the Redwood City YMCA they help everyone thank you for everything
Workout classes. Friendly employees
Quick access teachers and customer service are polite and respond quick are very helpful
Everyone was very kind and helpful. The instructors are very knowledgeable and tech with compassion. I am so thankful to all of the staff at the YMCA.
The beyond barriers program has been a life saver(literally). The coaches were great and so helpful. My girls have improved so much.
My girls love swimming! They're so much more confident in the water, and I know it's all thanks to this program.
I also really appreciate the way the lessons are structured. They're challenging but not too overwhelming. The kids learn at their own pace, and there's always a lot of fun and games involved.
Overall, I'm so glad we signed our kids up for swimming lessons. It's been a great experience for them, and I know it's something they'll benefit from for years to come.
I would highly recommend these swimming lessons to anyone. They're a great way for kids to learn to swim and have fun at the same time.
Special shout-out to Coach Quentin! He's an amazing coach who has helped my daughter so much.
Thank you for the great swimming lessons!
Currently I only use the treadmill and weight machines
I used to take classes and swim
The facility is clean. But the machines could be updated
The instructor of the spin class my wife and I attend on Thursdays is excellent. The other attendees are fast becoming friends. Great way to stay in shape, stay connected and have fun.
Our son, Jackson, has learned a lot and seems to have fun and enjoy the teachers. Appreciate that the classes start on time and teachers are great.
