Member Testimonials
The coaches bring an amazing skill set to the children!
Good service and clean facility
I like the outdoor swimming pool.
East Palo Alto has the best YMCA swimming pool in the area. It has wide lanes, a very good temperature for lap swimming (too warm at some other YMCA's), clean water, and friendly lifeguards.
Los maestros de natación son atentos y ayudan a los niños a entender mejor las actividades gracias por ayudar a mi hijo en sus clases aprecio mucho que mi hijo está súper avanzado en sus clase gracias
I’m loving all activities boxing,Zumba,
The swim instructors were very good, especially Vincent. It would be nice for the pool to be a little more heated in September. My daughter just moved here from Florida and felt very chilly in the outdoor pool!
Absolutely love boxing & resistance bands with Jamar
I absolutely love this place. Rebecca, Jose, and Jamar are the best. I look forward to Jose offering more sports.

The pool is fabulous!
I like the fact that it’s in EPA. Always friendly people and a clean facility I don’t know about the programs I just liked to walk on the thread mill and using the machines
The YMCA provides me body exercise at my convenience location in my neighborhood Thank You FOR this facility equipment
That pool!
Yoga, weights & the pool make my life better. Tomoko is a wonderful yoga teacher, very sensitive to each person’s ability, always changing her routine around and keeps the class fresh and fun.
Jumar is excellent in the weight room and is always there to help with developing your workout.
It is about time that we do a fund drive to develop the outdoor area around the pool. Maybe a type of cover could be built for the winter months. Closing down the pool doesn’t make sense. Tri-athletes are always looking for a pool to train. This could bring in a lot of revenue for the YMCA.
The ratio of instructor to students.
As a mom I really want the gym open early than 6am since I just can go in the morning, it will be nice if you guys can do that.
We love your pool and lifeguards.
The instructor and the substitute instructor were excellent in teaching and my kid's swimming ability is hugely improved. Thank you!
Pool!

New basketball league 9-12:
The coaches are great. I also love that it’s three coaches at a time - great ratio and lots of face-time with the coach.
I love that this league was free of charge as it’s the most equitable way of doing it. Once you start charging, please explicitly advertise the free and reduced fee pathway.
The only comment for improvement: there was no welcome email until after the league had started. Other providers send those ahead of time, and people are used to that.
Thank you for offering such great programming for kids!
