Member Testimonials
I like the positive atmosphere that hits you the minute you walk in the door.
From the daily front desk greeting, to a random instructor walking by or a fellow patron you immediately know you’re in the right place.
The facility is clean, maintained, and well organized. Classes are diverse, prompt and always challenging. Instructors are well trained and knowledgeable.
The DESERT FOOTHILLS YMCA is a great! place
The Y truly is a positive feature of the community.
Friendly, helpful staff. Very clean and well maintained!
Exercising with friends and pushing each other to reach our goals - community.
Deb Callison is the best. She’s incredibly caring and has amazing energy. We feel so welcome and encouraged to go back.
I like the fact that they are close and they have classes to attend, and they are part of my insurance plan. It makes me accountable for my choices. I meet up with friends and it is good when we socialize after exercise

Friendly staff, very clean, lots of classes and there's enough equipment that what I want is always ready for me to use!
I love my Y experience and the community it offers to all generations. Especially in this time where many communities have been divided, the Y is an island of friendlyness instead of tribalism. It's a safe place for all people.
Activities choices
Friendly staff, nice facilities. The outdoor lap pool is especially nice with year-round heating and an online lane reservation system

Clean, good equipments & classes
I really enjoyed my personal training with Nathan.
Staff is friendly. Members are great to work out with. Easy to get to from my home.
The facility is very clean, the staff is friendly. The environment is safe.
A wide variance of equipment, and they are very careful to post their work hours. I have been attending the gym for about 6 years and have found it to be very useful except for the summer months when I am in Pinetop lakes.
Great instructors, nice people, beneficial classes
I have truly enjoyed the pool. Using it has been a highlight of my health and the summer. The lifeguards are all kind and responsive. I do like the reservation system for lanes but don't always enjoy sharing with some people. I think my biggest regret is 'no show' people that keep others from swimming.

I love pickleball. This Y schedule for pickleball is the best I have seen. Add, this Y is always looking to improve the structure and class. Weight room and pool area is always clean. Staff is friendly and helpful.
