Member Testimonials
Great trainers !!
This is the nicest YMCA I’ve ever attended. Plus the staff members are polite, helpful, engaging, and appears to like what they do. Wonderfuk
New clean machines, kid care
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy all the people that I have met there. I am now involved in a number of things being the jumpstart the active older adults, and then the EDM and I think the staff and everybody is wonderful.
The classes. Laurie is great!
Variety of programs for all ages.
Staff is very friendly and welcoming.
Why the Desert Foothills Y has become an important part of life for both my wife and me.
- State-of-the-art, well-maintained equipment
- Skilled, dedicated, enthusiastic and friendly staff
- An amazingly broad array of programming from high intensity training to just-having-fun social events
- Strong commitment to the local community
- Something to engage everyone - from the junior-est junior to the oldest senior. Most private facilities have a focus on a narrow demographic and/or a fairly focused range of activities and offerings. Desert Foothills Y does it all, and does it all well.
- A strong sense of community among the members who work out there. My wife and I both have a unique group of friends who are just our ‘Y-friends’
It’s the whole package. Truly amazing that they continue to pull it off year after year.
Convenience, aqua classes, making friends and everyone including the staff are very friendly and helpful. The environment is very clean including the equipment.
Clean. Not too crowded. Facility appears to make an effort to discourage loitering on machines and desk people are friendly.
Lot's of classes to choose from, wide array of equipment, friendly front desk staff and great trainers.
The staff is excellent. I am not impressed with the new Director who replaced Chris. I never see her out on the floor. If I happen to see her I smile and she always seems to glare back.
I don't think she was a very good choice.
Everything is great!
Clean, Safe, Good Gym Equipment. Convenient location.
Love the YMCA.my experience every time I go is always spectacular
Variety of classes. Flexibility. Tons of times to exercise. Very family oriented
Love the new layout. More and better equipment leaves you waiting around for certain equipment a lot less! Also love that I have national access to Y’s all around the nation. Very convenient for those of us who appreciate a workout even when we are away from home.
Convenient but sometimes too many people. I wish you could add on.
I am getting used to the new weight set up.
It would be fun to have a dance class at the early morning slot.
Everyone at the front desk is always friendly and helpful
We enjoy taking the Active Older Adults class on Fridays presented by Diane and sometimes by Aleisha. Both trainers are very knowledgeable and put forth a great effort to make each class a success for the participants.
Both instructors provide a great multi-dimensional workout, targeting all the major muscle groups as well as cardio and balance exercises.
Diane prepares a different regimen every Friday and we always feel we are getting a full hours' workout.
We also utilize the stationary bikes and treadmills as well as the weight machines.
We are glad to see the "Courtesy stickers" posted on each machine, advising users to not monopolize the machines while talking on their cell phones. Most people (but not all) follow those suggestions since the stickers have been in use.
Staff is helpful & a very clean facility!
There are many wonderful classes offered, and everyone at the Y is friendly and warm.
Friendly staff. State of the art gym facilities. I like my personal trainer Nathan. He has helped me get fit and healthy.
Plenty of program, good equipment and nice friendly staff.
The friendliness of the staff, from being greeted when you walk in the door to going to a class and having someone notice you are new and offering help make you feel comfortable.
