Swim lessons at Palo Alto family YMCA are well structured. Great teachers!
I like the variety of activities and that the YMCA offers programs to people of all ages.
It is walking distance from my house.
You have lots of group classes, both in terms of variety and numbers of classes, covering every or at least most age groups.
Friendly, accessible, varied
Pool facilities are the best, including water aerobics instructors. I like how you extended the warm water pool hours and should keep them all day if possible. I understand the shortage of lifeguards, but a HUGE part of your constituency is seniors, and we need that warm water pool for pain.zRange of classes and daycare facilities are also first rate -- except clarify kids club limits in LARGE PRINT. People shouldn't hav to compete for space for their kids. El Camino Y has no such system. Pickleball is also first-rate, except you should add a Friday slot. Area for most obvious improvement: Your staff and head of the gym/etc. is basketball oriented. Despite repeated requests, your staff does not set up the pb nets in advance. They tell players, they are "too busy." At El Camino, we've encountered similar issues among different interest groups for that court space, but the nets are set up on time, without resentment or foot dragging. PB, I may point out, accounted for the largest amount for the annual fundraiser by far. Little things, like staff resentment of pb, lack of clarity about overlap times, lack of neutral leadership in mediating different interests, unwillingness too provide balls -- Franklin orange -- little details create loss of good faith from your members. zThis is potentially a huge plus for your club, not a minus, particularly since it's near Mitchell Park and good for warmup, conditioning and pain relief. A shame not to build on those zopportunities. Should things improve by next year, I will personally try to insure that your PB members are activated re donations. Otherwise, first rate, a life saver, your club.z
I only do the water aerobics activities at the Y but I am very happy with the classes. Especially with Corinna on Thursdays and Fridays.
Lots of variety- something for everyone.

Swimming, Jacuzzi, Steam Room, Basketball Court.
The classes are great. Sometimes the cleanliness is sketchy especially outside men's locker room. Other than that the staff are always helpful and friendly. Very convenient group class schedules and teen program.
I particularly enjoy the weight room. The heart rate monitors work on most of the machines. I have also enjoyed the personal trainers in the past
I've only been there once, but my YMCA El Camino ID was accepted quickly and easily, and the Zumba class I attended (by Elena K) was wonderful as I knew it would be.
Excellent customer service. Helpful, friendly staff. Diligent life guards and swim instructors.
The classes, trainer Hugh, egym.
I bring my mom take senior fitness class at 11:00am on Tuesday 5/20 Larry class. He is very excellent teacher and friendly to us. We like his class very much. ^_^
Most YMCA members are nice to us but one member stand on the back and wear mask woman is not nice to us because she said we need to wear mask otherwise we can not stand on the back by a yellow line. However that day there are a lot of people there only on the back more space. The wear mask space is very big but only 2 people there so we stand there and we did not bring any mask for the first time class so we can not wear mask. She is mean to tell me that I broke the rule??? Why the big space only for wear mask people, I don't think it is fair if the big space only for wear mask people. Please improve the rule. thanks
Great experience. Coach Joseph has been amazing, helping my son be comfortable in the pool.
Joseph is a very good instructor. My kids love him! My kids said he is funny, helpful, and patient.
The group classes
Like the swim classes. Aquafit and deep water.
