I love the towel service for both showers and for wiping sweat during workouts. That allows me to take a shower after a workout, and not have to deal with bringing home a wet towel, which is very much appreciated!
The locker room is relatively clean, and I really like that the lockers have built-in locks that you lock and unlock with a 4-digit code that you choose. I'm relieved that there are shower stalls with doors for privacy, so not all the showers are wide open, and appreciate that soap is provided. It would have been nice if shampoo and conditioner were offered too, but the provided soap is the most important thing.
The eGym equipment is really great! I've always avoided the weight equipment in the past because it isn't clear which ones I need to use or how to use them correctly. The eGym equipment takes all the guesswork away, is really efficient in adjusting the weights correctly as soon as I log in, is synchronized so that everyone (if they are paying attention) switches machines at the same time, guides me in doing each exercise correctly, and gives some nice feedback in the end about why that exercise I just did is healthy for me.
I love that the treadmills have a built-in fan. It would be nice if the account creation on the Matrix machines actually worked, or if the built-in entertainment worked, but not having that is no big deal.
I've only tried the Aqua Fitness class by Debbie and the Gentle Yoga class by Nancy so far. Both are great!
Aqua Fitness is advertised for older adults, but thankfully, it can give you a great workout thanks to the water resistance. Having the water naturally cool you while working out is a huge plus. Debbie and her regular attendees are also all very nice and welcoming, even though I am new and at least 10 years younger than almost everyone there.
I've never done a yoga class before, so the fact that Gentle Yoga is for beginners was perfect for me. I arrived a few minutes before class started, and Nancy not only welcomed me, but asked what my concerns were. I told her I was worried about balance and falling, so she suggested I move to a wall, then noticed that it was a lighter class on the Memorial Day holiday, so she told me she would ask the entire class to move to a wall, and she did! She also asked if I had any physical issues, and remembered that I can get dizzy with quick changes in elevation, so she assured me that there would be only one up and down movement, and will address the class how to do that without getting dizzy, and she did all that too! She is very detail-oriented, explains each pose step by step, and why each position matters, and stresses that you should not be straining, but you should just fall into position, and let go of everything else and be relaxed. Her 16+ years of teaching this class, and the passion behind it, is very much evident in my first-ever yoga class, and I am truly impressed. Nancy is a real gem in South Valley Family YMCA!
Parking hasn't been an issue for me so far, having several water fountains with water bottle sensors is really great, and having air conditioning is really great too.
I'm impressed with everything the Y has to offer, as it definitely exceeded my expectations.
So far, I have not heard YMCA by the Village People played anywhere in the facility, which I guess might be intentional. :)
I like the consistency with the instructors
The staff is awesome! Malena and Mikko are very warm and welcoming.
