I love the water class and the friendly staff.
The programs and activities here are lacking compared to bigger locations (Central has a lot more for younger kids, so we do go there or to Southwest for some things like ballet, yoga, etc), but I will always choose South Valley when I can because of the people. The staff are friendly and welcoming (Mikko at the front desk always greets with a smile, all of the instructors have always been encouraging and helpful) and that permeates into the members as well. It's a very warm community and I prefer it over the other Ys in the area.
I love that groups are small and easy to work with each child during swimming lessons.
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.
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)!

I appreciated how each session targets many different swimming skills and built many opportunities for my children to practice.
