Complete variety of fitness options, clean, friendly people
I love the variety of fitness classes and the fact that each class can be done very energetically or adapted if you want. The sense of community throughout the Y is wonderful and the instructors help to foster an atmosphere of love and caring.
In addition, I am an avid pickleball fan. the indoor facility really is a great option when it's too hot or too cold outside.
It gives me an opportunity to meet new friends and enjoy the instructor and the people around me.
Friendly staff. Hours of operation are great. Plenty of equipment and space to work out.
I like going to the YMCA. It has classes I like and also a lot if equipment for everyone to use. The staff is friendly and is ready to answer questions.
Silver Sneaker program held in the Lutheran Church located at the cross road of Cave Creek and Carefree highway,.
Clean and well maintained. Full array of appropriate equipment in working order. Open hours. Good selection of relevant classes and health programs. Many good personal trainers. Friendly welcoming staff. Safe clean swimming pool. Nice mix of members from youngsters to senior seniors. No intimidating members. This is NOT Gold's Gym. Excellent location: quiet, safe neighborhood, good parking, beautiful location. Adjacent to Holland Center so there is mutual attraction.
Nothing is perfect, but this YMCA is pretty close!

Why the Desert Foothills Y has become an important part of life for both my wife and me.
- State-of-the-art, well-maintained equipment
- Skilled, dedicated, enthusiastic and friendly staff
- An amazingly broad array of programming from high intensity training to just-having-fun social events
- Strong commitment to the local community
- Something to engage everyone - from the junior-est junior to the oldest senior. Most private facilities have a focus on a narrow demographic and/or a fairly focused range of activities and offerings. Desert Foothills Y does it all, and does it all well.
- A strong sense of community among the members who work out there. My wife and I both have a unique group of friends who are just our ‘Y-friends’
It’s the whole package. Truly amazing that they continue to pull it off year after year.
Convenience, aqua classes, making friends and everyone including the staff are very friendly and helpful. The environment is very clean including the equipment.
Clean. Not too crowded. Facility appears to make an effort to discourage loitering on machines and desk people are friendly.
Lot's of classes to choose from, wide array of equipment, friendly front desk staff and great trainers.
The staff is excellent. I am not impressed with the new Director who replaced Chris. I never see her out on the floor. If I happen to see her I smile and she always seems to glare back.
I don't think she was a very good choice.
Beautiful, clean, comprehensive facility. Great staff. Never too crowded.
