Member Testimonials
Overall El Camino YMCA is a great gym for the whole families. We enjoyed the adult group fitness class like Ujam. We like the swimming pools which also offering family swim time. We participated a lot of youth sports programs like the basketball leagues.
If I have to say one thing that I'm not very satisfied, I would say it's the basketball coaches. Since the coaches are changing from time to time, the quality of the coaches varies. We like the YMCA coaches who taught last Fall session in 2021 and also those parents who volunteered as coaches in the winter session of 2021. They were very passionate and responsible, always arrived on time and started the classes on time. They focused on teaching basketball skills along with teamwork skills. They also balanced the team members very well in each games. It was a lot of fun to play games with different teams at that time.
Of course we still like the basketball program at El Camino YMCA and we will continue to register for new sessions.
I initially signed up with the Y following Cardio rehab following an Aortic Valve replacement. I wanted to continue with my exercise and the Y would be perfect. Most of the rehab program was working with treadmill, bicycle and stair master. The y has an abundance of this equipment and there is no waiting for a machine.
I decided to add some weight training to my routine. The EGym equipment is the best exercise for me. I don't have to remember what exercise I need to do or the weight I need to lift. The equipment takes the guesswork out of it. Just swipe on and start.
The quality of our teacher Lisa (Functional Fitness) and the quality of the nutrition specialist Kim

To improve well-being
Modern facility. Has all the equipment that I need. I can connect my account and Electronically bring up any exercises I want. And it’s not too crowded.
I like the morning workout sessions as well as the selection of gym equipment. I strongly recomment acquiring a hammer strength bench press. It allows for a safer/ different upper body workout. Maybe you could look into this machine, all other gyms seem to have one. Thank you. Love the Y!

I like Pilates classes. They really make you work. I also like the swimming classes. The pool is very cold but it's still good. Also I like the feldencristclasses with Tom I always feel great after that class.
Your group exercise program is one of the best anywhere... and we know because we visit gyms and other Ys when we're out of town :)
Specifically the variety of formats, the number/frequency of classes offered every day, the indoor + outdoor options, and the caliber of the instructors.
EC group exercise is squarely in the top 5% of all YMCAs and gyms we have visited around the world. Something to be very proud of!
Keep going, and thank you!
