I enjoy all aspects of the y experience and the friendly staff and other members
Great atmosphere, helpful staff, always clean, keeps everyone informed -- it's all good!
Dow Bay Area Family YMCA is a beautiful facility. Everyone who works there is friendly and always answers each and every question I ask. The equipment is well maintained and clean. I have gotten to know several members and staff and consider them to be my friends.
When I work out at the Y, it feels very welcoming and inclusive. I feel comfortable and look forward to seeing friends and the staff are extremely supportive and always upbeat. It’s very motivating. 😀
I love the walking track, easy on the feet. I love the machines, especially the bicycles. I like pretty much everything about it so far. I am pretty new to it.

Everything works
Staff
It's clean, versatile classes, flexible hours, economical, and staff friendly at the front desk.
The pool area is a great place to exercise and having a seperate pool for the kids to play in makes it fun for everyone. They have classes in the pool to engage the older folks in exercise therapy. The goal being healthy independence. The staff goes above and beyond for the community. I'm grateful for my Bay area YMCA. THANKS Y'ALL.

Making friends
Clean facility with lots of great equipment.
Every staff member I have encountered has been exceptional. I take personal training classes in the pool and the instructor, Rob, is absolutely fantastic. He does not push me beyond my capability, but he does challenge me to push just a little further.
Landon is kind, respectful, hard-working and gives excellent service to every individual that enters the YMCA facility. I appreciate his training advice and hope that he is recognized by DOW for his contributions.

Pool and yoga classes
The Dow Bay Area YMCA is a great place to workout for you and your family! The facility is extremely clean and all equipment is modern and well maintained. From the time you walk in the door until you leave the staff is very friendly and helpful. I also enjoy the camaraderie of all the other members and friends I interact with every time I workout.
Pool is great ! I would like it bigger with more lanes especially since that was promised when it was originally built. Also I wouldn't mind addressing the fact that our rates were increased for towels and for the fact they kept getting stolen. Towels are not even a thing now and yet the rate hike remains. Overall your facilities are pretty good 24/7 is greatly appreciated. Some of your front staff when walking and getting checked in is very unattentive in general the younger ones.
Very friendly staff and the life guards are very alert. And the place is nice n clean. I come to work out in the gym are on cycling.
Ability to play Pickleball and work out at reasonable times.
They have a Really great Hot Tub that's really nice to enjoy going in
I have been around YMCA’s for about 55 years. Hands down this facility is the nicest.
We love EVERYTHING about the Y! Kids programs, workout classes, pool, and a clean facility are just a few of things we love!
Nice big clean facility. So many options for catdio. Many pieces of well kept equipment for all exercises.
I love the Y .. I need it in my everyday ..
