Member Testimonials
I absolutely love the staff! I have never walked into a class (whether it be a class of 2 or a class of 20) and not felt some kind of personalized attention. I joined the Y for the classes and have not been disappointed by one yet.
My wife and I enjoy going to the Pasadena YMCA we get to meet great people and Achieve our fitness goals. I decided to engage a personal trainer and I selected John Blake. John is very patient, understanding and thorough in his explanations of how to use equipment correctly. John also, ensures that I understand and perform the Fitness training program he has developed for me so that I can achieve the fitness goals I desire.
The Y is absolutely the best my kids love it it's affordable for me as a single father and we absolutely love it thank you so much
It is close to home, friendly, and has a variety of machines & the strengthening circle.
Sometimes the channel is not available on the tv on machines, I like HGTV, watching something I like makes exceeding easy. If there is a guide for the TV, that would be helpful.
I like the group exercise classes: PiYo with Darlene, BodyPump with Alison (Friday afternoons), Spin with Allison (Thursday afternoons), Core Conditioning with Nathalie
Everyone is very friendly and makes you feel very welcome. There is always someone there willing to help if you need assistance. I have really enjoyed my experience.
Need heavy bags and speed bags on the floor
My trainer, she's awesome!!!
For us, The Y is close to our home in Pasadena. We love the pool in the winter and like that equipment is up to date and there are many classes to choose from, both aquatic and aerobic, etc. We like the game area...ping pong, air hockey, etc. We are very grateful there is childcare, even though we have no small children--it is key for some families to be able to come to the gym and workout. We love that The Y is family oriented and offers many options for youth through exercise programs and camps.
a variety of equipment, resources and classes.
I wish I could get motivated to come in and start getting healthy.
I have gotten healthier, having better balance and getting stronger. I look forward to my classes.
The facility is very clean and there are a lot of options and equipment types
Love my total body burn classes with Tara. It's been super helpful and a great workout would highly recommend
Smoothie bar, sauna, outdoor pool, beautiful new looking equipment and a big floor space for non strength routines... Y in Pasadena has it all!
Getting together with my friend, and Alex on the morning shift has more personality than any 3 people.
It’s been good so far
Its relatively clean
A wide assortment of exercise equipment
Provides a community meeting room
Has several pools
Provides a variety of free exercise work outs
I love it! But I think that the people who use the gym section should be given a free sweat towel, the size of a hand drying towel. I know I could always use one!
Friendly, energetic, and encouraging atmosphere
Friendly helpful staff and patrons are willing to show you how to use the equipment. Promotions of new classes and programs make it easy to try something different.
It’s clean, close to home, has nice pools, many choices for working out
Lots of friendly happy people and clean place to workout!!
We were taking Gentle Yoga twice a week regularly - and it was a popular, crowded class at 10:30 AM, but it's only offered one day a week now. I know there are classes on weekends but we are not always in the area.
I know there is Zumba, Spin, and other more vigorous classes during the day - I wish there could be more yoga.
We occasionally use the equipment - but I am thinking of just switching to a community center or private yoga center.
I also am not a fan of the the "new" schedule online. Wish it could go back to the "week at a glance" format
Variety of classes offered, the pool and equipment
When it’s not busy, the Y is an overall wonderful place to workout and have a good time doing it, the facility is clean, the staff are kind and amazingly helpful and overall they have exactly what I need for workouts
Though if sharing my name, I go by Sarah Hagiwara now :)
we love it
All the workout classes available and the people in these classes make it a friendly environment to work out in.
Margaret, my trainer is fantastic. We’ve been working together for 9 years. She’s kept this Senior in great shape. Thanks Margaret
The staff is friendly and helpful, there's plenty of equipment, it's relatively inexpensive, and it's just overall a great experience!
