I recommend the facility to EVERYONE we know.
good choice of classes, great instructors, excellent facility and equipment
I like the accepting, non-judgemental atmosphere. Gyms can be intimidating, but the Y makes all experience levels feel welcome.
The exercise machines are great. I haven’t been to any classes yet, but there are many that I’m interested in. The facilities are clean, bright, and well-equipped (bathrooms, drinking fountains, the lobby, etc.). For the most part, the staff is friendly and helpful.

I love the basketball programs for the youth. It is such a positive environment and my son loves it each year. He has a hard time in certain social situations and loves playing for the YMCA each year.
Wide variety of classes and programs, helpful staff, excellent facilities, and inclusive environment.
Instructors are well-trained and very positive. Weight room trainers are skilled and will provide helpful information when needed. The facility generally feels welcoming and accepting of every age and background.
Friendly receptionist! Great classes plenty of treadmills and exercise equipment. Kind and helpful staff.
I wonder how well the kids club is sanitized on a daily or weekly basis. My child sometimes gets sick after going there. But, that happens around kids anyway. Never actually seen anyone cleaning. ?
It would be great if the kids could use the hot tub, too, after swimming. I know they would enjoy it! 😊
Good equipment and locker facilities.

I like the variety of classes offered
I don't take classes but I really like the machines in the Wellness Center. The staff are friendly and that is important to me as well.
YMCA is more than a health club.
Excellent programs for the members and community.
Very safe environment for the members to do their activities.
Super excellent instructors working for a long time of period.
Special programs for non members also.
All ages can enjoy their programs with no extra cost for classes.
Rock climbing, karat classes, dance class for little ones.
Palo Alto YMCA is amazing for benefiting the community and teenagers.
Like that some Y classes are free for members; also like the availability of community programs, such as Stanford's Balance class and Be Strong, Be Well.
I think the YMCA has a great facility and programs. I do swim aerobics. I don't like all the teachers so I try to pick the days of the teachers I like. I would use the equipment but I need someone to set me up on the machines. I have asked several times but never seem to get an appointment.
I like the diversity of the programs, the offering all day long including week-ends, the spirit of the people at the Palo Alto YMCA.
The facility is roomy and beautiful, the staff are highly personable, and the equipment is great.

New and maintained equipment
