Member Testimonials
There are a variety of programs for all age ranges, facility is kept up well, the clientele does not use foul language.
We have been a part of the Y since my children played soccer through the Y program. My sons are now 49, 45, and 43. We were charter members when the Y built the McClesky Y on E. Piedmont. I started taking exercise classes at first and then started a weight program with machines and free weights. I would like to attend the early a.m. spin classes but there are no classes on Tuesday or Thursday which is my cardio day. I guess that would be my only complaint. I wish there were pilates or yoga classes early in the morning (6:00 a.m.) as the times for those classes are too late for me.
I drive past an LAFitness to get to the Y 3 times a week, but I like the family atmosphere and the people at the Y so I keep my membership.

I love that it is a family atmosphere and that everyone cleans the equipment after using it.
Love the fact classes such as Barre and strength and tone etc are 55 min. Time to learn and get good work out. Other Ys in area have a lot of short classes I don’t like!!

I really like the Wave Makers water aerobics class. I enjoy some of the senior activities and classes. My grandchildren look forward to the special family days. I know that the community outreach programs and collections help so many in need. The staff at McCleskey YMCA is outstanding.
the schedule
Overall friendly atmosphere and opportunity to acquire new friends. Also many excellent facilities and outstanding yoga instructor (Dianne S).
You offer a wide variety of activities. All instructors and coaches are knowledgeable and helpful. Staff is always friendly. I especially appreciated that it was family-friendly when my kids were little. It's become a regular part of my life.
I love the gentle yoga classes on mon/wed. and then I like it that the weight room not
crowded after class so I can do some weight work.
Family atmosphere Good equipment
good programs for a very cost.
Variety
I swim there during the noon hour and I can always get a lane. The lifeguards are terrific. The front desk staff is always friendly and helpful.
Just would like everyone to be friendly & kind with a smile instead of a frown on their face. Their are a couple of very positive, friendly & professional staff members at the front desk and workout area, who are consistently outstanding!
First of all the YMCA is a nonprofit organization, so that attention can be focused on quality and usefulness of an activity. The activities emphasize the participant not a profit hungry share holder. The activities themselves build body strength and health for all who participate.
Swimming and stretching and any other aerobic activity is important to overall health. The best instructors are available at the YMCA.
I like the friendly staff. Enjoy using the pool and equipment to get in better shape.
Easy to get in/out and get on a workout machine.
I like the fact that there are many options, for all ages and preferences.
Morning, Mid day, & Evening - something for everyone.
The Y is a great place to make new friends. Especially when you are new to the area. We moved here almost 4 years ago and the Y was a life saver for me to meet and get to know other seniors like myself. The coffee available before or after class gives you time to sit down and really get to know new friends. You do need to be brave and walk up to a table and just say hi I am .... may I share the table with you.
The childcare center is great and the staff have really been great.
