Member Testimonials
Just joined a week ago. Had previously used "boutique" gyms like Orange Theory and F54 but found their operating hours incompatible with my work and family schedule.
Things I like at the Y on Alameda:
- great value. two pools, equipment everywhere, nice facility
- all staff have been helpful and friendly
- family oriented
- extensive hours including nights and weekends
- can bring my children to workouts
I'm glad I joined. Thanks.
All is good, from end .keep up the GOOD WORK 🤗

Great services from YMCA. Thank you.
CORE class with Jenny and Al. Body Balance with Michael, and RPM with Al. Thanks.
I enjoy being able to go to the weight room early and also be able to use the elliptical machine without waiting 😊
Variety of group exercises classes. The best group ex instructors throughout the YMCA’s.
There is always plenty of staff and everyone is on time.
I like that i can grow muscle and keep my growth, and i like that the facilitators are respectful. At the beginning of the membership they will allow a tour of the facility and they will ensure that you are monitored for safety. You may ask for a trainer and they have different programs you can join to begin a new or renew your old fitness health goals.

The group swim lessons are great for my 6 year old daughter! We did the swim lessons at Waterworks and Farnsworth school without making much progress. She's really enjoying the group lessons and I think they're structure really well. I would definitely recommend it for preschool and elementary school aged kids.
