I love the hours of operation and the variety of GroupX classes. Because of all the classes I am able to attend based on my work schedule.
variety of programs
I love the pool when there are no kids in it!! And the aquatics staff is the best! Tristen is so friendly and personable as are Thomas and Nathan. They keep us safe and make it fun!
Front desk staff is awesome, especially Junior, James, Mikko, and Rachel. Super friendly and make me feel like family.
Nancy's mid-day Gentle Yoga on Tues/Thurs is the best class I have ever taken and has improved my flexibility, balance, and quality of life. We all feel so cared for in her class. It is a refuge in a busy world.
I love the Y and my BFF just joined, so it's even more fun now!

Would like to see Zumba Gold at the South Valley facility.
usually politely/enthusiastically greeted when I come in. Clean & well maintained facility. An easy place to work out, usually on my own.I see people I know there, at least occasionally.
Access to help if I want it re an excercise program tat works for me. Good hours. Sense of friendliness and community
We love the facilities, of course, but it’s the people that make SV YMCA so great. From the front desk staff to Rick, the team is super friendly and committed to our community.

Been a member of the y for over 30 years, love the pools and super nice lifeguards, TRX.
The variety
I like the classes and the instructors. I also love the sense of camaraderie; YMCA is a place where you feel a sense of belonging. Thanks!
So far I've only been there once but I really liked it. I belong to the El Camino YMCA Mountain View but since moving to South San Jose I can now come to South Valley when I'm not working.

As a relatively new member to this location, I am getting familiar with the facility and classes offered. I like that you have several Barre classes to choose from. I like the wellness center and the fact that I never have to wait for the equipment that I want to use.
