The Pool
I love the classes.
Hello there,
I didnt want to post this on the website for people to see as I like this Y very much. I was prompted by email to leave a review but quickly realized it wasn't going to the Y it was going out for people to see. I didn't want to leave anything that wasn't kind or picky.
Everything is fine, mostly all things in working condition, weights are clean, & staff are always pleasant & always around to tidy up by picking up unused items (basketballs, footballs, etc).
However, it is by far the dirtiest basketball courts I've ever been on. Not for nothing but I've played on many courts over many years indoor & outfoor all the way through professionally overseas. So, lots of courts & these are the #1 dirtiest (even compared to outdoor ones).
If someone would just sweep them or vacuum once a week or every couple days it would help dramatically. Shooting around is sort of rough because all the balls are covered in filth & floor material/ dirt/ dust from dribbling on the floor & it often ends up in your eyes/ all over your face. I have to use my shorts to wipe off the basketball being used because it collects the floor "stuff" & the basketball is too slippery to handle. There isnt much seating but sitting on the ground is a no-go because the floor accumulation grounds into your clothes (made that mistake & ruined a t-shirt/ pair of shorts) & dust-bunnies whirl around & fly up onto your sweaty skin lol. It sounds funny as I write this but it is super gross. Occasionally I will pickup trash that I find as well.
I swear I am not being a jerk & honestly I dont mind a gritty gym - I'm fine with being a little dirty that's what we are there for! And really not even suggesting a full scrub just someone to sweep it/ vacuum every once in a while. It definitely needs a full scrub but man I'd be over the moon with just a good swept floor.
Or maybe leave a big broom near the courts so one of us members can sweep it? I wouldnt mind doing it.
Otherwise things are in fine standing & it's an alright place to go! :o)
Thanks for your consideration & taking the time to read my feedback. I appreciate you & all that keep the Y going.
I think the Y is a great place for everyone.

I love the classes
Love the pool
Super instructors for classes
The Y in Pasadena is my favorite place to workout. Friendly staff, well taken care of facilities, and just a great environment overall. They have something for everyone and are a pillar for health and wellness within the community.
Close to my home
Available machines most times
I love the Zumba Toning classes that are led by instructor, Nicole B. Nicole & Heather are the best instructors.
The increased time for water walking opportunities is most appreciated. I need the warm water for arthritis, but arthritis classes at the Pasadena Y are no longer available, but once per week. The time allowed in the Leisure Pool during the day is ideal for those of us who need to do regular personal exercise to maintain mobility and flexibility. It is the one single reason I keep my membership current. Most other exercise classes are too strenuous for my limitations and individual and personal PT is very expensive, even with insurance. I hope the daytime hours will be able to continue. The lap pool is usually too cold to use for the arthritis exercises. It actually makes the pain and stiffness worse.
Great classes. Good motivation.
Very convenient for me for where I live.

Plenty of equipment; very nice staff (shout-out to Carrie at front desk on early shift M-F); clean; nice folks working out.
BTW, the new floors at Pasadena Y are great!
How about the saunas....will they ever be back?
As a single mom of two children the Y has been an absolute blessing. The before and after program has enabled me to work my normal schedule with the peace of mind knowing my children are cared for and safe. The local schools also provide transportation to my local Y! Summer camps are amazing and again enable me to work while the children are having fun in a safe space. There are also Parents Night Out which give me a few "me time" evenings per month. I do not have family in the state so not much help or time off so having the couple nights per month has helped with my sanity. The gym and classes are always amazing and there are always extra activities especially around holidays! We absolutely love our Y family and highly recommend joining!
Lots of classes . Friendly and helpful staff
Friendly staff (those I’ve interacted with). Equipment is in good shape. There is a variety of fitness activities.
The Pasadena Y is in a convenient location, is clean, and has great clientele.
Always something to do. Good mix of options.
I think that the Y is an excellent gym. I just wish that you would bring back the saunas.
The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I take Zumba (morning classes) and the instructors are fabulous. I have met many friends at my classes … I am so glad I joined the Y I look forward to taking other classes, when time allows. I am looking forward to swimming in the warmer months. I would definitely recommend joining the YMCA….a fun group.
