It would be better if we can extend the pool hour, especially after work and weekend
Swimming
Indoor basketball court and swimming pool
The senior fitness class adds to the health of many seniors- physically and socially.
Larry makes everyone feel welcome and worth his time.
Kids club staff is most important factor to me because I had not so good experience. Ny kids ages 3 and 2 years old were crying as soon as we approached the YMCA Club and I actually stopped my membership. However, the YMCA staff was so nice and changed the child carers, I really like new ones at YMCA Palo Alto. My kids are suddenly happy to stay at kids club:)
Other than that, the building is always clean and the front desk and gym staff are friendly. I love to use the Sauna. It would be nice if they had children ballet in Palo Alto facility as they do in Mountain View.
My husband and I are grateful for the Parkinson exercise class with Larry and Carolyn. It is the only one offered in the area. The exercise is important as well as the socialization.
good exercise classes especially morning bodypump. gym area also good. generally I like the philosophy which is open accepting and supportive for all, very inclusive.
Friendly vibes

Exercise classes esp. Zumba
I liked the E-Gym! It’s very efficient and easy to do
I’m in love with the new egym machines and also really like the all day every day lap swim hours.
Good balance of types of group exercise, having the option for a personal trainer, and all the great equipment in the weight room. Group instructors are informative, welcoming, and inclusive.
I love the Y I’ve been a member since 1995. What I like best is the diversity the PAY has.
Variety
Everything
I haven’t had a chance to do much
I like the indoor pool, hotub, and sauna. Its the facility i use it the most and greatly appreciate access to it.
Sports equipment is always in working condition, and if they need to be fixed, it takes relatively little time.
All classes are taught by professional trainers.
The only wish I have for the swimmimg pools - to be desinfected not with the chloride.
weight training
Very nice swimming pool!
I would like to see the staff at Gym on the weekend.
There was some accident - an old man fell from the machine, and someone stays one machine for over 30 minutes - but no one could handle it at the time.
I have a friend that took courses and spoke very highly about the exceptional education and continued support.
Well equipped weight room.
The instructor Isabelle was very nice and have helpful tips.
I regularly swim, and I found the pool very well maintained.
