friendly staff. great equipment.clean facility
I like the trainers enthusiasm and encouragement. I sometimes wish, that when there is a class in the swimming in door swimming pool that there's a sign so that I know not to go and bother them. Or have to ask the life guard on duty, if I can go swimming or not? And then he says no it's only for the class people. I like the service of the washcloth to clean the equipment after we use it and the proper place to put it away before we go home. I like the staff when when I arrive , and they greet me with a big smile I like that they care to help us that are having financial trouble pay for our loved ones too at a reasonable rate Thank you.

Friendly members and staff. Great masters swimming program. Free towel service when I forget to bring a towel.
I like that everyone seems to know everyone. It is a very friendly place
I swim and the swimming pool schedule fits my varied schedule for laps. The staff is also professional and extremely friendly.
Diversity- range of classes - large facility - location
I like the Y's good maintenance and staffing. Your programs and activities seem good, but I mostly use the gym. Child-care seems pretty much necessary for many members to be able to use the Y; so I'm glad you offer that.
There’s something for everyone! Children have programs; adults have a bunch and my personal favorite is swimming outdoors!
I am a Y instructor from ECY and PAFY but I love programs at Central Y like LaBlast and it is close to where I live. The staff is always helpful and friendly at Central too.
I've been to Santa Clara, Richmond, Oakland, SF Chinatown, and a couple other locations since signing up, and I am so pleased. I will definitely be living someplace where there's a local YMCA location. I can't wait to play racquetball and/or join a ladder.
I have been just practicing in YMCA for short time.
I don’t know much to answer the question.
Love the variety of classes and variety of times they are held!
Also really like all the instructors I've met so far (water aerobics, pilates) - they are great!
very friendly staff and facility is clean
I enjoy your exercise equipment and hope to use your indoor pool soon.
The new e-gym and the variety of classes. The people that work at the y.

The Y has a variety of classes to meet the needs of a diverse member population. I need aqua aerobics to help manage my disabilities, and I just discovered there is an aqua class for members with arthritis. You also have great trainers to assist w. workouts on the machines, as well as swim lessons for all ages. I've watched the instructors who teach swimming to kids, and they are great, very patient, supportive, and knowledgable, as are other employees I have met. I appreciate the high standards the Y has for the staff they employ. I can ask any staff member any question, and if they do not know the answer, they will be sure to find out, or refer me to someone who can help. I can't say enough about how respectful and cordial the staff is with members from many different backgrounds. You are really the best!
