Member Testimonials
Good diversity of influences and variety. Tries to be accessible and inclusive. Includes some being outdoors, as suitable, so the irreplaceable weather is made use of and appreciated. Likewise with some options to go to nearby attractions; for example, hikes and Mountain View stage productions. Includes staying well or growing mentally, such as having occasional speakers relevant to some life tasks, and reading and games clubs. Has some connections through members’ simultaneous participation in, or directly with, other parts of the community beyond this YMCA.
The staff are super friendly and very helpful. I was only disappointed once when I walked into the senior fitness class on Tuesday with Kristi and was told the class was full - inspite of having booked this class. So I had to turn around and walk out.
I only use the Aqua Fit programs. The instructors Teresa and Kelly are excellent.
The Southwest Y feels like a neighborhood and local community gym. Staff are friendly and the workout options are diverse. The weight room is nicely organized and can allow many users without feeling too full.
Great programs and dedicated staff, especially in aquatics :)
I like the fact that the Y offers so many classes. Group exercises are fun. All teachers are very dedicated.
But I don't like the class booking system and I so hope it would change. In my previous gym, booking used to open up 24H before the class and that was so much better.

all good. love the people.
I belong to Central Y . I drive the extra miles to Southwest Y because the lifeguards don’t blast the music in the indoor pool area. I love the towel service and the morning coffee.
THANK YOU SOUTHWEST Y LIFEGUARDS!!!!!

A great variety of classes with excellent, even exceptional instructors. The staff is friendly as well.
Everything at the Southwest Y is very coordinated to maximize member utilization. The pool is fantastic, the aerobic area is top notch, and the weight room is superb.
Egym and wide variety of classes
I like that there are kids activities available, and I like that there are many fitness classes for adults too, although it can be hard to secure a place sometimes as they fill up so quickly.
I like the variety of fitness classes and the times when they are offered.
