Member Testimonials
The variety.
Friendly staff and program available across all age groups. Like the family center focus as well and their commitment to the community.
I like senior aroebic , yoga and ballroom
Swim Lessons / All around Pool access
Summer camps
Child care during workouts
The staff is always welcoming. The vibe is very family friendly. There is none of that smelly, typical gym grind. Classes are not cancelled. An alternative is offered or a substitute instructor leads class. The instructors are excellent. Would ask for additional Pilates and Barre classes.
Water Aerobics and egym
Love the enthusiasm, support and encouragement the instructor has given instructing my granddaughter in swimming lessons! She looks forward to her classes and loves her time spent with the instructor and has shown great improvement.
I like your group classes, especially Pump and Balance.
Nancy Britton’s gentle yoga class is worth my monthly dues in and of itself.
I love that you have an outdoor pool!! The aqua fitness class is my favorite. It is family friendly and welcoming. It doesn't feel like a boring stuffy gym, it feels warm, like everyone knows your name.
I can choose my classes according my needs.
Ability to work out at your own time and pace.
Instructors are patient and kind. It’s my son’s first time taking swim lessons, and he was very nervous. The staff is great with him!
The staff is very friendly and the swim instructors are patient with my child. I love that they added the chairs for parents to comfortably watch while their children swim. This is my third time bringing my son and we will be back again soon.
Very good
water aerobics with the right instructors for me.
The senior 1 hour exercise class at 11:15 Monday thru Thursday

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. :)
Thet reflect my interests and desire to be active at 60+ y.o.
The pool is outdoors and right sized..
There's an indoor pickleball court for summer
We have the only ballroom dance instructor at a Y (yay!)
Ii appreciate the vibe of management whenever an issue arises--it is extremely member-positive.
