Member Testimonials
There is something for every member of my family. There are strength and agility classes for me, a senior citizen.
There are Zumba classes for my daughter who likes to get down.
There were classes for my grandchildren in basketball when they were coming up.
Now my granddaughter plays for Notre Dame prep because of the experiences she had at the Y.
Shannon and Deb are the backbone of Desert foothills YMCA.
This is a great facility and value with a great staff.
Front desk employees were very helpful setting up my free membership. Plus my little nephew plays basketball so while i'm working out he can practice
My daughter started off with the free lessons sponsored by the Kiwanis four years ago. Considering we just moved here, and lessons can be expensive, it was so wonderful to have the free lessons. Because of this, my daughter loved swimming and she is currently a member of the YWSF Silver Fins Club / Competitive swim team. She loves Coach Colleen and her swim teammates; they view each other as a family. I'm grateful that the YMCA has this competitive swim program as there isn't another swim competitive program nearby that has the same team comradery and a coach who cares about their swimmers.
The staff are open and willing to help, offer suggestions and direct you in the right direction. The Y keeps adding programs and options for seniors. Instructors are great. The Y is the best resource in the area for us.
I like the facility although I would love to see some Hammer Strength equipment added to the room. I also hate that Fox News is shown on the TV at times. Totally inappropriate and unmotivating.
The people are nice and the gym is clean.

Reasonable crowd numbers. Friendly & knowledgeable front desk staff. Found a great personal trainer (Roger) who includes you in decision-making & increases the pace/weight as needed.
The equipment at the YMCA is all up to date, the facilities are clean and I really enjoy being a member. The staff at the door are always pleasant when greeting. I recommend the Y to anyone interested in a fitness center.

Desert Foothills YMCA Family Programs (i.e., Ninja, Enrichment Classes & Parents Night Out)
My kids (9 & 11) love the Ninja class/program. They always end it excited to come back.
My experience at the Desert Foothills YMCA has been a positive one. It is convenient, the staff is customer focused and easy to communicate. The facilities are well maintained and available to a wide range of age groups. I've been very satisfied with the Y and its staff over the years and continue to support its programs, goals to make our lives heathier both physically and mentally.
I want to voice my opinion and concern on the latest exercise equipment upgrade. It was very poorly planned and executed. The first day after installation was wrought with problems - machines did not work, two different sets of equipment were installed with different interfaces, no instructions of how to use them nor staff who could help (they mentioned they didn't have any training). This went on for approximately a week or so. To this day, there are problems with the touch screens on numerous machines. I've notified staff of the issues on a regular basis. At least you could number the machines so when we report a problem it can be addressed quickly.
Wonderful staff, great schedule of classes, clean and friendly facility.

Desert Foothills YMCA Family Programs (i.e., Ninja, Enrichment Classes & Parents Night Out)
We absolutely love parents night out! The kids would choose to go to that weekly if it were an option! We tried wacky sports, and really liked the concept in time of it, however, wished it were a bit more structured. We would love to see more sport programs That are not actual leagues, maybe just ways to keep exposing children to different types of sports.
I love the staff, the programs and I always feel welcome.
Personable training & awesome people as in members & front desk- ‘up to date equip & programs!’
