Member Testimonials
I work out (full body) three days a week, and have been doing so since you opened. Overall, It's a great experience. However, the locker room has deteriorated immensely over the years. I also have a problem with people getting on the work out machines and reading/using their phones for so much time, instead of working out.
I have been member of this YMCA for many years. I love the family-oriented environment. The recent upgrades to the gym area are outstanding. The staff is great. I just wish now they would work on adding more group classes. Since after COVID the group classes have declined. A lot of trainers have left and have not been replaced and as a result we have lesser class options.
decently clean
Nice facility, friendly and helpful staff! It would be so amazing if the locker rooms could have just a litte more / colder AC :)
My primary focus at the Y is cardio and weights. There are a variety of machines and the vast majority work. I like seeing the same people working out every morning which is typically an older crowd during the week.
We work out at the gym every morning and it is always so clean. No matter who greets you from the front desk, they are always so polite and professional. The staff is amazing. My spouse takes guitar lessons there and I am enrolled in the healthy living program. Thank you for all you do at the YMCA on Potranco. We appreciate you all.
Group exercise classes are amazing!
I love the group classes! They are so much fun. I also like that the Y is also a standard gym.
Front desk staff and training personnel are nice and professional. In addition, there ample pieces of various equipment for clients to use.
Love the pickleball! I wish there were hyrox classes! That would be awesome!
Activities & access to all sites
Variety, accessibility, and convenience of cardio, flexibility, and strength training in group format
We love the feel of the Y, the people make it!
Staff is friendly. Facility is clean and not too crowded. Members are courteous and generally follow the rules. Cost of membership is very reasonable.
The variety and birthday potlucks!
The people are very friendly and the place is always very clean.
I'd very much prefer a mat Pilates class at 8:00 or 9:00AM instead of 7:30AM.
I regularly attend bodypump classes, and enjoy them and get great results with them. At nearly 46 years old, with 3 to 4 classes a week and a vegan diet, my blood pressure without meds was 85/68 at my last appointment. I am not surprised to see these classes fill up. I would love to see a weekly stretching or core class right after the bodypump, though, for like thirty minutes as the cooldown in that class is very tight. I also get annoyed for my friends who have kids in childwatch and tight schedules they have to leave an 11:10 class early to get their kids instead of staying for the whole class, as childwatch ends at noon. I wish accommodations could be made for them by extending childwatch 15 more minutes.
I enjoy the body pump classes on Thursday and Saturday. The energy the instructors bring is great. I also appreciate that every time I walk in or out, I’m greeted by someone at the desk.
Great choice
I really hate being surveyed by every business I freque t. I'm going on strike. No surveys.
Elderly friendly
The wife and I will only be using the big pool to walk & swim in. We are most fortunate to have our own work out equipment at our home. We've been members there 3 different times since your opening reason we didn't stay around was the conflict on the large pool area. The way I see the use of the pool large one is we all pay a membership fee to use it and other than scheduled classes it should be first come first serve for all lanes. If people are already in a lane and its in use they shouldn't be ask if they can move into a walking lane to accommodate the swimmer that in most cases arrive 15 minutes late to begin with. We don't mind sharing the lane with a swimmer but the swimmer normally wants it to their self and will go running to the front office are pool official to get their time swimming.So sure it probably is the same way today. Just rejoined 1 September and have not reentered the pool yet. So awaiting the the future outcome.
The wide variety of equipment.
Small but has everything needed
The young people and older people that work there are both extremely nice and reach out to the appropriate age groups that they deal with makes you feel very comfortable
Very affordable for family
Friendly staff
Good classes
Parking is good
Joining was an easy process
Love the classes, instructors and the staff. All super helpful and kind.
