I like, appreciate and applaud the Scottsdale-Paradise Valley YMCA's knowledgeable personal trainers, especially Jack W., Josh L., Brian E., Jan, Katrina, and Terri. I like the wide assortment of training equipment and its maintenance. The front desk staff members Fran, Lesley, and Morgan, and volunteer Dave are always friendly, courteous, and helpful. As a 12-year member of this YMCA, I continue to reap a healthy lifestyle of exercising in such a friendly, sociable, and organized environment. Thanks for their good jobs in every way.
The facility is clean and has good physical trainers.
Josh is GREAT personal trainer
There are so many activities from pre-school to seniors. The classes offer a refuge from the summer heat. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Friendly atmosphere
I love the weight resistance machine as well as the elliptical and recumbent bikes. My only complaint is that the AC isn’t working at maximum capacity when i come in at 7 am and sometimes it’s just plain hot in the gym.
The atmosphere & the people, especially. @ the front desk!
Size of the free weight & machine exercise areas. Cardio area is very adequate. This is not a negative but a suggestion to improve the Y. Believe longer hours needed on Saturday & Sunday. Floor supervision of younger age clients after school and during the summer. Finally, would always have a staff member present in exercise area at all times 7 days a week. This is a liability concern.
The staff are outstanding and facilities second to none. For a place as busy as it is it is spotless.
Everyone is friendly. The facility is very clean and the classes are varied with wonderful instructors.
Nice people; great equipment; community service focused.
I take yoga classes at the YMCA with Angela Ambrose. I love Angela she has an amazing spirit and she is warm, loving and consistently cares about the member's in the class She is great!!!
I really like the classes for the seniors. Kim Diggs is a wonderful teacher and she works us hard. We also have a lot of fun listening to the music, laughing with each other, and trying to do our best.
Friendly people!
