Member Testimonials
I use the weight and exercise machines
I like that they gave me a trial period
Water aerobics classes are both healthy and social
I like the HOIST machines. I use them one a regular basis. I am handicapped and wish I had more ability to safely use the freeweights these days, but the HOIST machines are just right for me.
Good job
I like the community focus at Sequoia - opportunities for youth, and elderly. I like the friendly and helpful front desk staff. Also the pool, and the different exercise rooms so that clients are not working out too close together.
Great instructors!
There are a variety of fun activities and programs that everyone can enjoy
I have been going to senior fitness since it started. It is perfect for me. Both teachers and participants are respectful , fun, sincere, helpful . I haven’t been doing many of the machines as I used to. But I do need to have my fees reassessed as I am currently paying above my ability.
Kind people, lots of different classes, great ZUMBA!
Warm pool and it has a deep end. Friendly, chatty old people like me and you just cannot beat that combo.
Instructors
I joined for the Cycling Classes. Amy (the instructor on Tuesday & Thursday at 10 AM) is great.
Good variety for all levels
Lots of choices
The pool
I love water volleyball and I am so very happy we can play three times a week now. I have started Pilates on Friday mornings, it is a great class and is really helping with some chronic pain issues.
The staff is very helpful. I think name badges for all staff would help a lot to learn the names of staff to make it more personal for everyone.
I know we all appreciate everyone’s help keeping the “Y” a safe and friendly place to be,
Thank you!

Yoga class

The spirit of community that welcomes anyone
There are a variety of programs and classes. A lot for the elderly.
I've been a Y member for 38 years and have been able to work out at many YMCAs around the US. I love the Sequoia YMCA in Redwood City as my home base.
I particularly like this one as it is a small, cozy, homey place.
The staff are friendly and wonderful, the equipment is great, the fellow members are more open to getting to sharing names more than at another larger places.
That being said, if you want to simply go to exercise, clean up and be in your "own space," there's lots of opportunity for that, also. No pressure to connect with anybody, if you'd prefer that.
It's a great little YMCA, come check it out!
Muy bonito lugar limpio asistente muy amable
Fitness classes
I like the variety of classes and the welcoming environment for people of all ages. I love the kind and welcoming atmosphere in general. The employees and the instructors are great, friendly, and professional.
Love the classes with Tina. Bodypump and Core are my favorite. She's so passionate about them and that makes her classes super fun besides being intense in a good way. I personally find her to be a very charming and funny lady! Also, the people that go to Y are really lovely individuals that I'm glad to get to know!
PS: Please add yoga or Bodysculpt classes during the evening time on Mon - Thurs!
allbof it
I just love our exercise class MWF 10:15. Such a great group of folks, and the instructors are fab! I also use the treadmill when it's raining.
