Member Testimonials
The pool
It is convenient, affordable, has adequate space and exercise machines plus free weights. It is never over-crowded. It's pretty clean, though the men's locker room could use more attention.
I love that the Y offers lots of different classes and workouts so I am never bored.
Variety of classes available to members at all fitness levels. Instructors are engaged with members and care about whether they have a good experience.
The facilities, except for the men's locker room, and the welcoming attitudes of the staff.
Everything! Nice helpful people, nice facility!
I recommend water aerobics for seniors. I’v been doing water aerobics here for 3 years and 20 years at another health center before I moved here.
I love the YMCA. Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. I especially like Shannon Pitcock because I hate to exercise but she makes it fun so I keep going.

The exercise and that my insurance e pays for it. Thank yoyu God,
I just joined the Y on December 1, after a complimentary 1-week pass. There is plenty to do at the Y-- I wish I was already retired, so I could take advantage of MORE classes--I am enjoying the MixxedFit with Julia on Saturday mornings, and once days get longer, I may get out of bed earlier to enjoy some 5:30am classes. I also enjoy the area to give and choose puzzles and/or books. I have both taken and contributed. Would love to play pickleball sometime. Need to find out more about that--but I have a neighbor who joined and likes to play. I just downloaded the APP- YMCA 360- there is a lot to discover there as well. Everyone I've run into, staff and members alike, have been very friendly to a newcomer, like me.
Friendly staff, knowledgeable and motivating instructors!

Friendly professional service, good equipment and kept clean and working order.
Always greeted with a smile and hello at the front desk! Unlike a typical gym, the YMCA provides a safe, sincere facility that isn't focused on just making a profit by hiring unskilled employees. I appreciate all that the Y has to offer and hope the leaders continue on the current path.
It’s a great facility offering classes for everyone and yet can work certainly on your own. The drawback of this facility is it is way too small for all the use it gets.
The senior AOA classes are terrific. Not so crazy about your friday class. Sorry but the instructor does not do a full body workout. Walking around the gym in a circle does not much for me and many comments have been made. Wish you offered a good alternative.
Clean and friendly atmosphere
All the friends that I have made. Love the weights and stationary bikes and Pickleball.
Love comarity
Jenn and Deb are the best!! I always enjoy taking their spin classes. They add a lot of encouragement and enthusiasm to their classes
Their fitness are great..
Water aerobics very much to my liking. Wish the water warmer; particularity if outside temps aren’t in the fifties.
The facilities are clean and easy to access. The staff is friendly.
The staff, the classes, and members are treated like they are at a premium club. Hours of operation are fantastic. The trainers do a great job so everyone gets a top notch workout. The ymca is always doing something to improve the community and quality of life no matter what…we are all important.
If you are new to the area it’s a great place to meet people. This facility enhanced our move to Cave Creek AZ, my husband and I are very happy we joined.
The entire staff is awesome. They respond to questions immediately. The facility is very clean and they run surprise medical codes for the staff to respond decisively.
I love the variety of opportunities offered: classes, trainings, ability to donate to local causes.
I find the staff helpful, engaging and generally happy to be there.
I discovered the daycare this fall, and it was essential to help my daughter and I keep up with our routine while my grandson was home from daycare.
I find a true community at desert foothills YMCA.
I enjoy water aerobics. I really like Julie as an instructor
Very clean facility. Wish pickleball wasn't so crowded.
I like the facility’s clean, modern, and uncluttered design, cleanliness, well maintained modern digital equipment, friendly staff, diversity of members, convenient hours, affordability, ample, and convenient parking. However, it could use better enforcement against cell phone use in the workout area, some additional space for individual exercise use, better showers in the men’s locker room along with better ventilation.
