Member Testimonials
The classes are what I take part in most. I appreciate the diversity of classes offered for a variety of fitness levels.
Hector's Zumba class is so much fun and such a great workout!
Jamar keeps the East Palo Alto YMCA thriving - he is the most valuable asset the Y has there!
Although it is part of the marketing, it actually is true that the YMCA creates a community for those who are members. I love that about being at the Y :-)
Easy and affordable

Very clean, staff is friendly, close to home!
Excellent gym and group exercise activities.
On top very friendly and helpful staff.
There are so many options to explore and for all the different ages. I personally enjoyed the aqua aerobics classes, being outdoors and the friendships I made.. The “Y” becomes like your home away from home.
I'm enjoying the swimming for low-impact yet full-body exercise and relaxation. Recently started using weights as part of some PT and those have been helpful. Facility is clean and people are friendly. My teen daughter even likes to use the equipment and meets with her friend a few times per month.
I renewed my YMCA membership to gain access to the workout area and the basketball court area. Access to the pool for the younger kids will be helpful as well.
Clean and spacious place, like outdoor pool. Daughter attends swimming lessons and likes it.
Although I used to use the swimming pool and the locker room in addition to the weight/cardio room, I now only use the latter.
Facilities are clean and excellent, usually uncrowded when I am there, and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

I love that there is something for all ages at the Y!
Group exercises
You offer activities at all different levels and abilities. There are many different types of classes. The instructors are helpful and well trained.
The big thing is how friendly and helpful everyone is. I've asked a number of the staff for things
and they are always ready to help or look into a situation.
I love the many different classes that is offered, and that you are always looking into more
activities for seniors. That will keep people signed up and here them socialize with others their age.
Everything!
Great facility and really great line up on all their group exercise schedule especially on the weekends.
