Member Testimonials

The arthritis water class is just what I was looking for - activity without increasing my bone-on-bone knee pain. And the leader, Pat, is super!

Classes

I like the friendly staff and the low key vibe. I don’t like “slick” gyms.

Pickleball. Some excellent fitness instructors, including but not limited to Amy Nelson and Tia Kilpatrick.

Best Qi Gong program in Sac!

The ambiance and all the exercise classes offered all day & evening!
Great staff too!

Water aerobics classes
Swimming

I love that it's easy to get into group fitness classes. Really enjoy them.

I am judging the Y based on several years of experiences in its fitness classes. I also appreciate the opportunities that it offers to our community's children.

However, just to be clear, I do not believe that the YMCA is in a good place at the moment. We need a much deeper bench of trainers and fitness instructors. This week, for the first time ever, I met someone who works in a management position at the Y--Karen Newton. She was incredibly kind and responsive! For the most part, though, Y management is completely invisible to me. I never see them.

Yes, I recommend the YMCA to friends, coworkers and, even, strangers all the time. But, unless management begins to quickly recruit and train more instructors, the Y will lose some of its members.

I enjoy the accessibility of the Central YMCA. I also find the clientele and staff to be generally friendly and thoughtful. Parking is an additional perk.

I think my Sacramento central does a fantastic job. Especially the aquatics. Im a 69 yo senior that took swim lessons last summer to improve my technique and was so inspired to see all this different age groups you instructors teach. You guys rock!

Easy check in. Not crowded. Good equipment

Friendly people

I love the pool

I really enjoy the Y. It is a lively, pleasant place where the community plays and exercises. Staff and members are friendly and polite, and it has tremendous variety of possible activities.

I really enjoy the aquatics classes...Especially Pat Wolfe and Angel's class...I plan to attend more classes in the very near future...I want to try the stretch and balance class for seniors...I always share my Arthritis Aquatics Class, with Pat Wolfe, with all my Doctor's...They are pleased and tell me to keep up the good work..

Wide range of class offerings, great instructors, lovely community.

Everything. Great staff, great facilities.

the staff, classes and pickle ball are the best.

We just moved to Sacramento from the Pasadena area. We have family here, which is great, but we didn't know anyone else here. Our daughters suggested we try swimming at the Y pool and it's been great. Meeting new people and just getting familiar wirh the Sacramento area in general.

The facility offers a range of exercise opportunities. The instructors I select are excellent...
