What do you like about our programs and activities?

I enjoy using the pool 3x a week to exercise w/o taking part in a class.
Besides the cleanliness of the water and the surrounding areas, I like the friendly life quards, the front desk people, and overall atmosphere.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

New machines look good to attract more members. Good strategy, I hope membership fee would be less for senior people. One complaint is that TVs are removed and nothing to watch while doing stationary bike. I wonder if new TV monitors will be set back soon or permanently removed???

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I’m a member at the Venice location. I like Spin classes the best. I have a billing issue that I would like to document. I recently updated my credit card with your billing dept. However, instead of charging my usual monthly fee of $62, I was charged $92 - an additional $30 for the expired card. I spoke with Mandy Barton (?) and staff in your Palmer Ranch location and was promised a refund of the $30, indicating it would be deducted from my next monthly dues. Please confirm this to me in writing at your next convenience. Thank you, Name removed

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The only problem I have is with people sitting on weight machines for extended periods of time scrolling through their phones while I and others have to wait to use those machines. A dose of simple common courtesy would help.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

What initially drew us to Palmer Ranch is the awesome indoor track on the second level. Since then I personally have been loving Suchi’s yoga and breathwork classes and each week we experiment with different equipment and enjoy the pool. That vibrating plate is a great way to end a workout.

The PR YMCA staff is very helpful and friendly. The facility is always clean and we love it that all ages are welcome. The place is so vibrant.
