The people you meet
Lots of classes, always friendly!
The people! Employees and members. Deb is an awesome manager and class instructor. Jen, Kirsten, Sharon, Diane and Colleen are also instructors that I think are great!
You all do a great job! Thanks!
Variety of group fitness classes.
great place to workout..to meet people..and where there are all types of activities like yoga, zumba, and tai chi.
I love the fitness facility but I would love to see some Hammer Strength machines brought in. Not everyone who works out there is a senior citizen.
Friendly staff - especially love Deb and Shannon - they are always supportive and encouraging while also making their class fun.
Really enjoy having the Open Gym in the afternoon this summer. My 6 year old grandson is really loving playing basketball in a cool, safe place where we can both enjoy it.
Instructors and people there are great!
The gym is clean and well maintained. The staff is very helpful.
I have been going to the Y for quite some time and enjoy the classes that are offered. The instructors are enthusiastic and desk workers very patient and helpful. However, having said that, the classes are too full, rooms too small. I feel it was underestimated how popular the facility would be in our growing community.
Convenient location, ample parking and equipment, cleanliness of facility and helpfulness of staff.
The field trip and activity offerings available to kids during the program
All the instructors are so nice and professional. They really seem to care.
Organization, friendliness, variety, and cleanliness. I’ve been in a Y or two I thought was gross, but not Foothills.
Friendly, helpful staff, clean & well maintained!
Friendly and clean facility with welcoming staff.
Convenient.
Friendly service people great variety
Easy access, polite front desk. Equipment often missing parts, handgrips on the cables, TVs very difficult to operate.
Good classes. Excellent instructors. Easy check in. Very helpful and nice people at front desk.
Convenient hours, clean facility, good variety in workout options.
Love the Y. Jana is amazing. However, the kids at the desk should stay off of their phones and work. I recently asked them if they get paid for being on their phones as they had not moved in 45 minutes while I was there.
Thank you for such a fantastic YMCA facility!!
Great programs, classes and instructors!
What do I like about my Y experience? The welcoming feeling I get when I walk through the door. The wonderful and genuine support and commitment of the exemplary staff. I love the varied senior programs with a focus on our wellbeing both physically and mentally. The Desert Foothills YMCA is my home away from home.
The choice of equipment for my exercise routine
Love the facility and community.

The people at the Y are awesome! Love Shannon’s new summer Aqua Zumba class! She is so much fun and brings so much energy to her class:). Lyndsey’s barre class is also great! She is super sweet and she has a new fun routine every week that totally kills me, but is reshaping my body in the best way!
