Swim, Weight gym and basketball
Love the aquatics program! My two kids have been taking swim lessons at the Palo Alto YMCA for several years. The teachers are great (specifically Ms. Carol and Heather). The rest of the aquatics staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
small environment
I don't use any programs or activities. I use the fitness center and I like the proximity of the club and the facilities
I like that there is an indoor swimming pool so I can stay out of the sun. I like the e-gym so I don’t need to pay attention to weight machine settings. And I like that there is a wide variety of classes.
Nice pool. Open all day!

Friendly staff and great facility
The staff at the front desk was outstanding to deal with
Everything is great except you might want to consider salt water pools. The chlorine is a bit harsh and carcinogenic.

Small and close to us.
I have been a family member since 1997. The Family Y has been an integral part of our family activities since my daughters were young children. When they were in high school and college we worked out together in Body Pump and Cycling classes, and used the Bank center. Now, as an older adult, I use the lap pools frequently.
The Family Y is a wonderful asset to our community. I love the instructors, and am so pleased to see that there are new, well-trained lifeguards for the pools.
I know it has been a long road to "rebuild" after COVID, and hats off to you all.
Friendly staff. We need more classes in the evening like Body pump. Thanks
Variety of offerings and skill levels.
Group classes, facilities, staff
All the people working there are very professional and willing to help when needed.
They have substantial knowledge on how to use the exercise machines. Believe me. Some of new machines are more difficult than drive a car on busy freeways.
Aquatics
Good facilities and friendly staff
atmosphere, variety of programs and activities, friendliness, mission, family friendly
Your programs are wonderful, your staff is very respectful, and I am grateful for all that you do for the health of our community.
I just joined qnd I love all of the range of daily classes and the instructors are all awesome. Really well done at the Southwest SV! Only facility I think might need a little repair is the free weight section of the weight room . Looks a little old and rickety.
Weight room could use a “Smith” machine so a solo lifter would be safe without a spotter.
