Member Testimonials
We love Heather’s yoga class!
The variety of programs and activities. They meet my need.
And Pam Laughlin, my personal trainer is wonderful. She mentally supports me as I work out and gently pushes me to reach the next level.
Absolutely loved Hatha yoga
Flexible times. Friendly staff.
There is something for everyone and at all levels.
I like that all the classes offered are judgement-free and I am able to tailor the workouts to my skill level and challenge myself as I see fit. The staff are always friendly as well and make the environment feel very welcoming.
Southwest YMCA is a positive place to be. I have met many friends at SW plus I like the activities I do such as aqua aerobics with Teachers that are great and caring. I enjoy using the fitness room with the elliptical, stairs, and bikes. I am just getting into a a couple machines outdoors. I so appreciate the people that work at the Y who help me to understand the mechanics of the machines. People who work at the Y are positive, helpful, caring, and encouraging. I believe Kim has been a great influence of the dynamics at Southwest---it seems like we all came together (staff and patrons) since she arrived. : )
love Zumba!
Very good and nice
Southwest has so many fitness classes to choose from and great instructors. I’m glad that they take time to do a long enough cooldown and stretch for the cardio classes. The equipment is also kept updated, eg spinning bikes. I’m also glad there is equipment outside and some of the classes are outside. When I travel outside the Bay Area, I check the Y’s and was surprised at how few classes they have. I feel very fortunate that we have so many at our Y.
Keep team members updated on the schedule and plan of the future classes ahead of time.
Big space for pool and group classes.
The facilities, the staff, the people, the location.
Diversity of programs and skillful, smiling teachers are the things that attract me to my Southwest Y.
The nice possibility to be active as a whole family.
I like the workout equipment and I catch up on news while I'm riding the bikes in the gym. I'm happy to have a gym close to home. I'm happy to see so many other activities but don't participate much excpt for my workouts. Clean, kind, friendly, and I love the e-gym equipment.
The variety and the ability to adapt to lower impact or higher
Staff is great, especially Tavi, Sam and Shelley. Hope we can get rid of the campers on the machines - common courtesy. Glitz Dance and Sara are AWESOME...such joyful exercise!
