Member Testimonials
I love the welcoming nature and easy convenience of the facility staff and classes.
Weight room and cardio areas are nice with good amount of AC running. Pickleball is getting more packed, but it's fun when you get a chance to play. Classes are welcoming to beginners and fun activities to try out. Pool is nice, but I wish it had sun shade.
hi,
I love my YMCAs. Southwest and South Valley are both great! amazing vibes.
Can we start thinking of adding a "virtual" body step class connecting to East Valley YMCA on Saturdays? It is a great class and sadly so far from our nick of the woods.....
Sincerely,
Megan
Cheap and lots of availability for time slots.
We love the stage 3 swim instructors this year! Our daughter is finally really learning how to swim & be comfortable in the water!
South Valley Family Y is inclusive of all people in our community! I love the wide variety of classes and exercise options, with friendly instructors who make you feel part of the family. I especially love the options available to exercise outside on the Turf (or fantastic pool)!

Great teachers!
Varied programs with knowledgeable and caring instructors. Tai chi and enhanced fitness instructors are outstanding.
Good variety of classes, updated free weight room & machines, wonderful staff & instructors. Enjoy being able to try out the classes at the other Y's, like Central, SW, and NW. Been a member at South Valley since 1988. Marni is very good about listening to suggestions for new classes or programs and is receptive to members' needs. Staff has wonderful relationship with the members!!
Variety and offered throughout the day.
Group classes. Updated equipment. Pool. Kids club
Sherry who teaches exercise class -- she's wonderful!
Also, the tai chi, though I don't get there too often.
We like the instructors. Nola is great with kids. She does an excellent job of encouraging them, demonstrating, and making it fun.
People are friendly and helpful. The variety exercise classes are good. The outdoor pool is clean and well maintain.
A wonderful variety of activities and great leaders. However, for the sake of newcomers, signage is needed for the names of the classrooms, and maybe arrows to dressing rooms. Not only I but also a father with a very wet daughter were lost and directions were pointed with a finger but very complicated. A commitment to walk newbies to their destination rather than giving complex verbal directions until signage can be put up would be much appreciated.
I trust the kids club workers. I enjoy the dance classes. My daughter lives the swim lessons. My husband likes the gym.
Staff is amazing! Selection of classes is great.
Hoping larger pickleball courts are coming.

I love the pool and the gyms. My kids would come to the pools all day if possible!
I like dance fitness class as I like dancing. I like the gentle Pilates class for strengthen my back and hip to enable me to hike every Sunday.
We love the Zumba classes.
I like to swim laps.
My family and I are new to the YMCA. So far we are enjoying the swimming pool, and lessons. The Group exercises such as the Aquatic class and Senior classes (Chair Yoga) have been great for my husband! My daughter is looking forward to the Kids Fitness classes starting next week on T/Thur. It's great to have classes for the kids especially during the Summer Holidays.
I recently dropped off my daughter at a summer camp near the East YMCA and decided to check out the Body Step and Body Pump classes by Wendy and Bertha. Their enthusiasm for the workouts are so inspirational!!! I also loved the Aquatic class in the indoor pool!
By the way, the air vents in the women's showroom at South Valley YMCA are very dusty and needs to be cleaned! Please pass this message to Facilities.
Thank You!

Everything! Perhaps it's all about the people. Front desk is welcoming and helpful, people who lead the classes are terrific, lifeguards are on the ball and watchful, and cleaning person is hard working, Overall, the YMCA is well maintained. And classmates are friendly. I often recommend the YMCA to others.
The variety of classes
So happy about programs, welcoming Staff, cleanliness and satisfied in general.

Love the positivity and motivation from the staff!
