Member Testimonials
I only pariicipate in the Aqua Fitess classes. The two instructors Teresa and Kelly are excellent and we really get a great workout. I moved to Pleasanton but come back to the area every other week and join the classes on Monday and Tuesday. I was quite disappointed to learn there are no YMCA’s in the East Bay, other than Berkeley. 22. I miss the classes and the friends in the pool.
Variety of workout opportunities
Wonderful swim teachers, life guards, front desk staff, facility staff.
Good class options
Jessica Thompson is great!
seniors class is super fun!
My boy really enjoyed it
I have explored the classes like therapeutic yoga, Wednesday’s around noon’s Zumba class, Glitz dance classes. Enjoyed the vibe of people and classes. Hope to find more unique, creative classes.
Every one of the people involved at YMCA from the front desk to the exercise rooms are cheerful, kind, and interested in keeping the members healthy, happy and fit. All the instructors who teach the class are dedicated and passionate in helping the students.
Everything!! Great Staff and instructors!
I like being able to use the different cardio and weight machines whenever I want. I enjoy the variety of classes that are offered, but I especially enjoy ballroom dancing with Ivan.
I attend the group exercise classes. Absolutely love them! The instructors - Jessica, Amanda, Ginny, Amber - I attended their classes and they are Fantastic!!!
Love Glitz during the morning.
The length of the swimming lesson is not too short.
Instructors don't waste time on chatting or anything but keeps kids swimming and learning.
I don't participate in programs or group activities. I do appreciate the helpful staff and available equipment.

Swimming lessons
I think your programs are of great benefit to the local communities even though I do not make use of them. I come to the YMCA to use the gym facilities and the pool. The staff is wonderful at the Southwest YMCA, and I love the atmosphere there.
We like the program very much. It’s totally worth the money. The coach is nice and patient.
I mostly just use the weight room and treadmills oh and stretch room too.
Facilities, classes, optional activities, friendliness of staff and of fellow members :)
Love the water aerobics class, but would like to see more offered. Classes fill up every day.
Instructors are patient with the students, well organized.
Good facilities and staff
the variety, quality of classes and instructors are great. I love that all the yoga teachers have many years of experience and offer alternative poses for all to be included. Sophia at the front desk has been so helpful, and I appreciate seeing regular cleaning happening so I feel good being there.
It’s a great “me time” when there’s a kids’ club.
Especially when the staff there is amazing!
The ex-group room is great, the boot camp on Friday is wow
