I love the pool. I started lap swimming a year ago.
Classes like yoga and pilates. The community is good too.
Great programs and staff! Always willing to help!
I enjoy the classes and feel the Y really caters to the older generation!
It's perfect for me as I get older since there is such a range of group exercise options. I've beena memebr of the Y ever since it first opened here in the foothills area.
I was in need of a personal trainer. I am receiving the help and guidance I require.
Staff and members are very friendly. It’s family oriented.
Friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the facility and the equipment.
Excellent facilities and instructors. It’s very affordable and I appreciate the discounted rate since I’m on a fixed income, I also really benefit from the Diabtes Prevention program run by Kelly Forkasdi-Armijo.

After losing a number of over what seems like a rather sort time, I joined the YMCA to get in better shape and to make new friends. I have been successful in both regards.
Strong leadership from the new director. She is definitely visible and on the floor talking to folks. New employees being hired. Changes in the gym and the addition of AI powered e-gym are positives. The YMCA is moving in the direction of transformational change.
The facility staff are very helpful. It is a welcoming environment. Since I have Medicare and a Medicare supplement, there is no cost to me. I have tried Zumba, Zumba Gold, and Mixxed Fit. I like Mixxed Fit better. It is also a good place to meet people.
Family friendly
The employees are always helpful
The programs offered by Desert Foothills YMCA are awesome. There is a wide variety of fitness classes available . All of the instructors seem knowledgeable and seem to enjoy what they do. My only negative experience has been pickleball, and that is more a function of the participants than the YMCA. It is negative enough that I feel that it warrants comment. I have pl ayed competitive sports most of my adult life and some of the pickleball players at the YMCA, where it should be more socially focused, are rude, snobby, and downright mean at times. I can hold my own against these people but it is supposed to be fun.
Some of the yoga classes. Also like the weight machines and availability of free weights.
Clean environment, great staff, well equipped. Thank you!
