Member Testimonials
The classes are varied and everyone, regardless of size, weight, age, abilities, are welcomed. What I don’t like is all the chatter in the swim class, disrespectful of the teacher, and the rule that I can’t wear blue jeans in the weight room.
Group Ex classes!
Swim lessons when my kids where young and youthbasketball league
Love my trainer Randi Bethel! So patient.
I really wish you hadn't discontinued the Masters 101 (not sure of name) session that was at 6pm in the evening. I had to stop and then when I came back, it was gone. Any kind of occasional stroke clinic for intermediate adult swimmers to improve stroke and distance would be a real boon! I'm not nearly good enough for real Masters....
I always feel welcomed and good when visiting our Palo Alto Family Y. The well equipped and beautiful fitness facilities have allowed me to do all my exercises efficiently and in a wonderful environment.
The people!!!!
For me, it's not about programs and activities; I use the Y as a gym. It's expensive, but it's a very good gym.
I like to go to a clean pool, get my cardio workout.
All of the water activities
I really like the pool. But in my past say 10 visits, the educational pool has been closed 3 times due to fecal contamination. Generally from infants...I believe. Why is this allowed? I am concerned to have my kids taking lessons in this pool. As for the lap pool, can the temperature be raised a couple degrees please? Thanks
I like variety of programs
I enjoy the social contacts I get in my exercise class (water aerobics). I have found several friends.
They cover all ages and levels of fitness.
available hours, equipment is mostly in good working order, indoor cycling classes
Friendly staff very clean
Group exercises.
I love that the exercise classes are included in the membership.
Variety of programs and flexibility of schedule.
Love all the Les Mills classes - RPM, body pump and body combat - the teachers are fantastic-especially Orna, Yvonne, Michelle, and Dorota.
I love the diversity of the members most! I appreciate the diversity of fitness classes, and I'm sure we will enjoy the kids' swim lessons soon. Kids club is great, and the fitness equipment is top notch! The only thing I could ask for is more kids programming on Saturday mornings (and/or weekday early evenings) since it's impossible for two working parents to get our child to classes that take place on weekdays in the mid-afternoons. Thanks for making the Y a great place!
Name removed's yoga classes are THE best!
Kids club that my kids enjoy and look forward to
Classes started on time and were well run.
the weight room is quite good, however, I've made a request for a new piece of equipment and no one responded to me. Here is the request for the hip thruster along with the bars and accessories. Thank you!

Great classes, friendly staff, nice people.
I've only been a member for about a week, but three classes I've been attending regularly have already greatly helped my hip condition, balance (I hope!--I have had some falls recently) general fitness and overall disposition: Enhance fitness; stretch and balance; adaptive fitness (in the pool w/Carolyn) and Zumba Gold. I'm really enjoying the facility, the instructors and people I've met in my classes.
We LOVE that parents night out is included in the price of membership at your location. Thank you!!
