staff and instructors, clean building
Pound is my favorite class by far. So many times, a fitness class has music, but the moves are never in sync with the music, so what's the point of the music? Pound solves that problem perfectly, as every movement, even the stretches at the end, are in perfect sync to the music. Vanessa is an excellent instructor as well. She gives very clear instructions, mirrors correctly (when she says "left", it's our left, but she's using her right side to allow for correct mirroring), and is cheerful, friendly, and remembers everyone's names. Thank you so much for offering Pound with Vanessa!
The eGym strength training equipment is also a favorite of mine. It really takes the intimidation out of gym strength training equipment, and is so efficient. If everyone is paying attention and rotates after each exercise, you never have to wait for a machine to free up. It's great that the machine remembers your seat position and training weight and adjusts everything instantaneously as soon as you tap your key fob to log in.
The towel service is another fantastic feature, as it makes it very convenient to take a shower and not have to carry your own wet towel home. Thank you so much for providing that!
Excellent facilities and staff, especially Jaiyden
The group exercise classes—good variety, good teachers, having a great experience with them!

The manager and staff at Southwest Valley YMCA are always welcoming and very helpful to members and those interested in becoming members which, in turn, generates a positive exchange among members. The Southwest Valley YMCA is sensitive to the needs of the members. It is a pleasure interacting with the staff.

Fun and friendly activities that I can attend 4x's a week. The facility is clean and well kept. The people who work at this facility are so helpful!! Our Class Leader is excellent. Sooo very Happy with Southside Family Y!!

The swimming program was great. My 11 year went from barely being able to swim in February (though dearly wanting to) to comfortably being able to swim laps with her face in the water. It makes me feel so much more comfortable as a parent letting her go places with water with her friends. Even though the instructors were all students (I am assuming High School) they were great. They were so patient, kind, and helpful. Great job training them YMCA!
