get better instructor for dance class
I really like the senior class. Enhance Fitness, and Leo has helped me a lot on the cardio equipment. My surgeon for my micro valve procedure prescribed continuous exercise to strengthen my heart.
Well organized and a good variety of kids programs.
Friendly helpful staff. There are ways to make suggestions if I have them.
Good instructors, variety of classes and activities
I really enjoy the Enhanced Fitness classes, but they are so crowded! I know there have been discussions about getting a larger room or starting a new session. However, I has not heard of any resolution except for signing in for the classes. This results in people coming earlier and earlier or being turned away disappointed. The format of these classes is perfect for me and for so many other seniors.
It's a very inclusive and comprehensive place.
I love the instruction pool.
So far, I only used the pool and I really enjoy it.
you should allow more people into the pool at a time.
Everything! 😀
The pool and the water workouts are awesome to have indoors!
Variety of classes at different levels and many classes held simultaneously in the many rooms.
There are too many option in Ymca palo alto for workout. I love it. Thats really helpful.

I enjoy the Zumba Gold classes on Monday and Friday, and I also like the Friday balance and stretching class. I usually go twice a week to the gym, where I use six different machines and also a recumbent bike, which I ride first to warm me up before going to the various weight machines.
I find that I make friends among my various classmates. I like knowing that I'll see nice, friendly people there.
The trainers are knowledgable and helpful.
The Y feels like a safe, comfortable and cheerful place to be.
