Hi! LOVE the Southwest location as my home/closest gym location, the one thing that would make a huge huge difference to me would be if you could pretty pretty please add a sauna room??? I keep having to go to the YMCA Central or Palo Alto locations to get my weekly sauna sessions in, which is a bummer and deterrent for me to come to Southwest. There are dozens of studies right now showing the incredible health impacts of doing sauna 3x per week, including 40% reduced risk of Alzheimer's and several other major health benefits. Happy to share with Management if it helps - please please consider adding this to the Southwest location <3 thank you!
I appreciated the ease in signing up for the Livestrong program. My questions were answered promptly. The facilities are clean and the equipment is current. I was also impressed with the number of yoga props and can’t wait to take a therapeutic yoga class. The instructors and administrative staff supporting the programs and activities are knowledgeable, inspiring, pleasant and helpful.
AquaFit and lap swimming
Like variety of classes for different ages groups. I notice El Camino has master swim, it will be great if Southwest can have similar program, thanks
I'm primarily a lap swimmer and do not use the other facilities. I have a great relationship with the staff. I also appreciate the programs that the Y provides for the community.
swiming, weights, book club, occasional ping pong, basketball and cardio bike and teadmill are all great, and service by Tanya and Kim are wonderful.

p.s. too bad the original donors plaques at the entrance got taken down.
I like the water fit class and E-Gym.
Also the facility and especially the locker room is clean.
Never seems to be over crowded.
Spinning classes and sculpture spiinning.
I really like how patient coaches are. They also are very technique. I always get a very quick response from them!
I love Les Mils programs and the egym at this SW location. The equipment is kept in running order, staff are so nice and coaches are very knowledgeable.
I love how there’s something for everyone here. It’s very inclusive and inclusivity leads to community so keep doing that
The variety - I can work-out on my own in the cardio room, take one of many group classes and I also have personal training sessions.
I like Aqua Fitness.
I love going to Glitz Class!! I also enjoy E-Gym and some of the yoga classes. Thank you!
I like the pool
Indoor pool and good instructors
People are friendly, and the equipment is great, especially egym. The one thing I would like to see changed is the angle of the monitors on the treadmills and exercise bikes. Th angle leads to reflections of the overhead fluorescent lights, which makes it difficult to see the screen.
My kid likes swimming.
Wonderful mission, staff, programs. We mostly attend swim class and kids club, but if I had more free time would love to join the exercise classes and use the facilities. The swim teachers and staff are wonderful.
Swim Instructors are friendly and inviting. My daughter is excited to attend. I would like to see more differentiation based off swimming ability and skill. Big picture, we are happy with our experience.
Convient hours, great instructors. Front desk staff knowledgeable and helpful
Great programs! Teachers are welcoming and patient. Pool is usually a decent temperature.
The new e-gym features, the great and friendly staff and all the children activities and group activities make YMCA worth joining!
Good program, instructors and staff
The swimming pool is nice but cold, and the windows are left open during the Winter. The management is preparing us for the Polar Bear Festival at the San Francisco Yacht Club on New Year's Day! :)
