Member Testimonials
I like the family atmosphere, friendliness of staff, variety of classes.
The swim program for my 8 and 5 year old are fantastic. I can clearly see more confidence and excitement with the water. We’re 3 weeks in and we are extremely happy. Thank you YMCA
Ms Taylor has been amazing . I see her very focused and in every lesson my daughter is learning. In my experience ms taylor is the best teacher i got for my kid in last 3 years.
Everyone’s super nice
My wife loves the Zumba Classes and my kids are very happy with the pool lessons. I personally enjoy the gym but miss the HIIT classes that were previously offered.
Love the positivity and motivation from the staff!
I love the welcoming nature and easy convenience of the facility staff and classes.
Weight room and cardio areas are nice with good amount of AC running. Pickleball is getting more packed, but it's fun when you get a chance to play. Classes are welcoming to beginners and fun activities to try out. Pool is nice, but I wish it had sun shade.
hi,
I love my YMCAs. Southwest and South Valley are both great! amazing vibes.
Can we start thinking of adding a "virtual" body step class connecting to East Valley YMCA on Saturdays? It is a great class and sadly so far from our nick of the woods.....
Sincerely,
Megan
Cheap and lots of availability for time slots.
We love the stage 3 swim instructors this year! Our daughter is finally really learning how to swim & be comfortable in the water!
South Valley Family Y is inclusive of all people in our community! I love the wide variety of classes and exercise options, with friendly instructors who make you feel part of the family. I especially love the options available to exercise outside on the Turf (or fantastic pool)!

Great teachers!
Varied programs with knowledgeable and caring instructors. Tai chi and enhanced fitness instructors are outstanding.
Good variety of classes, updated free weight room & machines, wonderful staff & instructors. Enjoy being able to try out the classes at the other Y's, like Central, SW, and NW. Been a member at South Valley since 1988. Marni is very good about listening to suggestions for new classes or programs and is receptive to members' needs. Staff has wonderful relationship with the members!!
Variety and offered throughout the day.
Group classes. Updated equipment. Pool. Kids club
Sherry who teaches exercise class -- she's wonderful!
Also, the tai chi, though I don't get there too often.
We like the instructors. Nola is great with kids. She does an excellent job of encouraging them, demonstrating, and making it fun.
People are friendly and helpful. The variety exercise classes are good. The outdoor pool is clean and well maintain.
A wonderful variety of activities and great leaders. However, for the sake of newcomers, signage is needed for the names of the classrooms, and maybe arrows to dressing rooms. Not only I but also a father with a very wet daughter were lost and directions were pointed with a finger but very complicated. A commitment to walk newbies to their destination rather than giving complex verbal directions until signage can be put up would be much appreciated.
I trust the kids club workers. I enjoy the dance classes. My daughter lives the swim lessons. My husband likes the gym.
Staff is amazing! Selection of classes is great.
Hoping larger pickleball courts are coming.

I love the pool and the gyms. My kids would come to the pools all day if possible!
I like dance fitness class as I like dancing. I like the gentle Pilates class for strengthen my back and hip to enable me to hike every Sunday.
My son has become more and more comfortable in the water through his stage 1 and 2 classes and now seeks to challenge himself in the pool. The YMCA has made a huge difference in his attitude towards swimming. He's able to swim just a little bit and it's given him so much confidence in the water.
