Member Testimonials
I see a lot of positive growth in the youth who participate in the Saturday handball class.
The Y is close to my house
The weight, stretching, cardio rooms and pools are good
The staff is very nice, knowledgeable and stable.
Group exercise
Nice Variety
Kids club
The Y has about great variety of programs for all age groups. I use the racquetball courts, weight and cycle rooms. Considering lap pool. 😁
Great people work at the Y. Always friendly.
Group session instructors are knowledgeable and motivating. Specifically, LaBlast, Les Mills sessions, and Friday/Sunday Zumba
A lot of choice- ESPECIALLY La Blast with Lynn!! Body pump, many more! Excellent instructors
Handball Youth & Collgiate programs; swimming pools; top notch!
As I am disabled, I mostly participate in aqua aerobics classes, recommended by Kaiser. I occasionally use the reclining bikes. I hear great feedback about the yoga class, but it is at the same time as the Wed. aqua class, so I have not tried it. What I really like is how friendly and helpful the staff is. They are always ready to answer questions or refer me to someone who can help me. Even though many of the staff members are young, they treat older members like me with respect. The instructors are patient and willing to give a little extra help to new members or even to longtime members whose needs are gradually changing due to age or health issues. I see the Y as a place where integrity is an important value, and in current times this is missing in other areas of our lives. Thank you for your services!

I enjoy exercising at the Central YMCA, with the Enhance Fitness Class during the week, usually on Tuesday, either Thursday or Friday. Camille is a great instructor and we enjoy exercising with her. I have made numerous friends there, so it's friendly and worthwhile spending my precious hours exercising which is great for me.

A lot of options
inclusive, diverse, convenient
Lots of water aerobics
I love the water aerobics classes. I want to especially acknowledge Nita G for stepping up and teaching two classes simultaneously yesterday, Sunday morning for both deep water and shallow water aerobics otherwise all of us there for shallow water would have had to get out of the water if the class was cancelled. She did such a wonderful job. She showed her dedication as a teacher by teaching both classes and rigorously. I hope whoever is in charge will acknowledge and does acknowledge the dedicated employees they currently have! There are people who teach the water classes that sincerely care and are excellent teachers such as Diane F., Lu P and Nita G. Just my opinion as an educator myself.
P.S. I hope Nita was paid for two classes! So many times teachers go beyond their job but never get the monetary compensation for it....it is why there is a shortage of great teachers in the world in general....
Thank you YMCA and all who make the Y a great place. I also love having so many options to exercise in many ways. I especially like Central YMCA for all the activities going on that are visible when walking around!
BRAVO!
I like Coach Eric: He helps kid bring out his best
Handball courts.
So far I have only been able to attend one swimming class, but the instruction is top-notch! I'm looking forward to being able to take yoga classes as well as TRX. The facility "Central San Jose" is fairly antiquated, but well kept and given the fee structure I have nothing to complain about!
Great instructors especially Jenny, Juan, Lisa and Khara. The only thing I don’t like about this location is they don’t have a free towel service which doesn’t make any sense coz every single Y has.
Love the Body Attack classes
Kids sport specially basketball
Variety in classes, kid sport programs, & gym equipment
I like that you have so many classes to choose from. Several at the same time, so can do one if I don't want to do another.
