Member Testimonials
very convenient location, wonderful Zumba and World Music Dance classes (Wed and Fri mornings)
I use the facility mostly for water-based aerobics classes. I find the variety of instructors and availability throughout the mornings to be very helpful in planning my daily exercise.
It's convenient. I have only used the cardio machines and pool.
Variety, outreach, some teachers are very well trained.
All the Family Programs are good
The enjoy the personal training; and your training staff, especially Terence Witt, is extremely friendly, efficient, effective, and professional. It’s money very well spent.
YMCA has a lot of classes for different levels
I’m a new member so I can’t answer this question yet. But I will say I love the positive vibe at the Palo Alto Y. You can almost see it!;)
I am a group exercise instructor at the Palo Alto YMCA. Our Y is a place where people are valued and differences celebrated.
I love the Les mikes classes and the kids clubs!
Nice yoga, zumba and Belly dance classes, also a great community to meet friends.
convenient to most things and instructors are good
large variety; very friendly coaches and staff
I work out in your exercise room.
excellent, smart
My only activity at the YMCA is the pool. I like the ability to do my own water aerobic routine in the "instructional" pool in the early morning hours. My husband uses the stationary bikes and the weights equipment to maintain leg/hip strength following hip surgery.
I use the Fitness Center exclusively. My wife also uses same, as well as taking Aqua Zumba classes on Mondays and Fridays. Both of us appreciate having such nice facilities and programs so readily available to us to help maintain our fitness.
Wide variety
So many options! Classes galore, rock climbing wall, childcare, great pool, and more.
Good choice of equipment and group ex classes
Great variety of programs
I mostly use the weight machines when I come to the YMCA. I love how easy they are to use and their accessibility when I go in the afternoon to use them.
I love NIA with Nancy and personal training with Randi!
The variety and frequency
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.
very good!
my family like YMCA
They are walking distance from my house. The hours suit me. I like to see familiar faces in a place that feels welcoming.
Great personal trainer
Many activities, great team, nice environment, all clean... everything perfect :)

I like the pool, the cardio and weights, the locker room, the "stretching room" and the staff that keeps everything so clean.
