Member Testimonials
The people who run the front desk are so supportive and have a smile. Also the instructors who teach our aqua fitness class are so fun and enjoy the wonderful routines they present to us daily. Makes me so happy to have the Southwest YMCA as my beginning of my day. Positive vibes for sure.
A nice variety!
Senior fitness classes and indoor pool
Awesome gym and pool
We come several times a week for aerobic exercise, then go to the weight room for the strength training machines that have the yellow balls to follow along, making it easy to get the whole body. Before Covid we used to go to Zumba and Bollywood dance, killer aerobic. We may get back into in when Spring comes. Even though we don't use the programs much, we love that their available.
Aquafit is great!
All of them.
Programs geared to all ages. Most gyms ignore us old folks.
I am starting there again. My wife uses their aquafitness for years.
Programs for all age groups and ability.
Easy to access. The people who staff the Southwest Y are by far it's' greatest asset.
Good !!!
Aqua Fit and Spinning Classes
Like Les Mills classes, group ex instructors, Kids in the Kitchen, and staff.
Bodypump evening classes getting too full, what is capacity, maybe require sign up on app and/or have a ticket system?
Lots of machines to exercise with
I enjoyed Kim's hike club and Autumn's Pump and Pop Pilates. Thank you.
It is amazing performance without closing swim pool for absence of swim guards. Thank you very much Director.
I only take the 8am Aqua fit classes and they are excellent.
Aquafitness is the reason I am a member!
Outstanding class instructors, clean environment, friendly staff, and available supplies, ex. towels for pool use.
Everyone is very welcoming and the members are friendly.
It feels like home. Warm and welcoming.

Lots of room to work out and step classes are available!
Love your yoga classes!
Love all the classes I attended
The teachers my son had for 3rd level were great. They knew what they were doing, were good at making eye contact with all kids and were very attentive.
All the programs and activities are good for health and keep people happy.
Hello,
I appreciate most the welcome by Sophia, Tonya, and the team, always warmly greeting every one of us.
One request.. is there consideration of opening the pool at 5am or 5:30am (like San Mateo YMCA)? If not all 5 days, perhaps 2-3 weekdays a week?
If the pool is open earlier, perhaps some of the early risers will go to the pool earlier and lessen the pool traffic at 7-8am.
i will be there at the earlier opening, as I now have 7am meetings M-Th and 6am start of the pool is too late..
In any case, thank you for all the good work!

What I like most about Southwest YMCA is the atmosphere. It's very chill there and I like the staff, who are always very welcoming. Tavi and Tonya especially. There is a lot of different equipment to choose from, plus a lot of different classes so there's always variety so you don't get bored. And there's enough equipment so even when it is crowded there's a spot in the cardio room to do a workout. Wish there were more ellipticals that had the wristband scanner.
