Member Testimonials
tai chi class is excellent and it is so nice to see campers at the Y
I like the fact that it fits my age group (senior) and staff are welcoming.
I went there as part of my El Camino Hospital pulmonary rehab course, and love that you still use most of the same equipment I am experienced with using.
The only thing I detest is the 1-and-done access to the Matrix brand circuit training equipment.
I was trained to do three (3) sets of each piece of equipment, spacing them out over the course of a week, so doing 1 and moving on to other units that I’m not supposed to do all at once on the same day is counter-productive and actually riskier for my health and wellness.
I do my best to use the equipment when others aren’t around so that I don’t tie anyone up, but it’s frustrating do be in the way and subject to mutters by other people.
I wish there was a special time for disabled people to use the gym each day, or that the 1-and-done process could be rethought.

Re Holiday hours – I like the idea of at least half-day operation like closing at 1 pm.
Re Weekend Hours – Many years ago, the weekend hours were much later e.g. 8 pm and I missed it very much. I would appreciate that the closing time be extended for at least one hour. ie Sat 7 pm and Sun 6 pm . This would be a great help.
Re Parking:
Finding parking is so difficult especially in the morning (within the time window of the sign that says no El Camino Health staff parking) because I see many El Camino Health employees park at the parking lot. I sometimes have to search for 10-15 mins before one parking spot is available, and there are often other cars looking for parking spots especially in the morning. I knew those people are El Camino Health staff because they wear the medical uniforms with employee tags and walk to or from El Camino Health. I talked to the front desk manager AJ who was not helpful at all. He said, “ …there is a sign… BUT El Camino Health owns the parking lot, there is nothing we can do about it… THEY OWN the parking lot..” AJ’s assumption is questionable. I am sure if the sign is there, El Camino Health must have or should have educated their staff for this. If this is something that they have missed doing or not knowing it is happening, they should be informed of the problem. I don’t believe that their owning of the parking lot means that there is no agreement (could be rental agreement) between El Camino Health and YMCA about the use of the parking lot. I strongly believe that there is a reason that the sign—No El Camino Staff Parking between … -- is put up there. I highly appreciate your help to solve this parking issue.
