Member Testimonials
Y has great staff and a well equipped open airy workout space. My only complaint is the members I call “phonies” who sit on the equipment playing with their phones tying up that equipment and preventing others from using that piece of equipment.
I had a great visit at the Y, rejoining after several years. Everyone has been helpful and friendly. Deb was there to give me a tour on my first day back and that was so appreciated.
LOVE the outside swimming! 💕
(my only request would be that swim lessons are accounted for how many lap lanes will be available) there have been times where there are only three lap lanes available and then suddenly one is reserved for swim lessons…frustrating when it’s busy.
The gym floor is clean and the staff is friendly
Pool in summer.
Easy to rejoin after quitting temporarily when the water gets too cold for me.
The facility (Arnold), and the people.
Its convenient and relatively inexpensive.
Stay and play services are great, kids activities are great, parents day out and nights are awesome! Pickleball, Gym, Classes and the Swimming pool are also great. In a nutshell we love everything, services and the staff are also awesome!
Easy atmosphere. No stress.
I love the water aerobics classes. I recommend these classes for a wonderful workout that works all areas of your body.I am a senior citizen and can follow majority of the routines. Come on out it is great for getting your exercise in and having a fun doing it.
Jack was excellent at explaining all of the features of a membership. He was thorough, polite and kind.
like the variety of types of classes that are offered by a very friendly staff.
Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
Professional staff
Well equipped. Friendly staff.
Just came back to the Y recently and so far we are glad we did.
I go to Ashley's Tuesday and Thursday body pump classes. They are so GOOD! I recommend all of my friends to the Y. It's a super value and I have really changed my body by lifting weights twice a week with Ashley. Also, it's really fun!
I am very grateful I decided to join. This is a great place if you have children that are spread out in age. Its nice being able to go swimming as a family and then be able to drop my little one off at the stay and play so I can have one on one time with my pre teens. I love all the events they have for little kids and teens like dungeons and dragons. They also have waffle Wednesday. I also love the sauna, its nice sitting in there listening to spa music after a workout just to relax. I also love that yall have an open door membership that is more affordable for lower income guests. Everyone has been super nice and welcoming, its a great experience.
Very inviting all the items and space you need to work out with comfort. Friendly Staff
I especially like the variety of exercise programs, especially the swimming in the outdoor pool. As soon as the weather is warm again, I hope to resume water aerobics.
For medical tax deductions and other purposes, would it be possible for you to refer to Y programs as "Physical Fitness" as well as "Education"? That would be of great benefit to me and most likely many other members.
I also hope to resume yoga classes soon; I know of one that starts a 8:30 a.m. and one at 4:30 p.m., which are good times; one that starts at 11 s.m. would also be good.
We love being able to play pickleball at our Y in addition to the workout machines and classes.
I have an excellent personal trainer, A J Garay. The equipment is kept in good shape, locker rooms clean, and the work the Y does for mothers with children, and the summer camp initiative.
Nice people, easy registration for a short term visitor, super clean facility
The hours. The variety of services. Diversity. Sense of community!!
I like the huge variety of exercise options.
Nice pool at Pasadena Y
The Arnold MD Y is a smaller pool … older and more crowded
Locker room showers are also hit and miss for working /cleanliness
Everyone is very friendly! We were also able to put our sponsor Midshipmen on our membership!
There is a wide variety of classes to explore.
The Arnold location, near my home is very accessable by multiple routes- making it easy to reach even on heavy traffic days. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and well supplied, and equipment well maintained.

the flexibility of working out when I want and the number of group classes.
