Member Testimonials
I have been a member for a great many years . I like the group fitness classes especially those taught by Sharon and Jenn and Susan . These classes are better than those offered at more expensive private facilities . But lately , I feel the gym is hiring instructors and offering group classes that are not qualified and are too easy, respectfully. Too much emphasis is placed on yoga, Pilates, and Zumba . We need more hard core instructors and classes like power and strength.
Great people, great staff, great classes
We love the instructors! They are very fun and exercising doesn't feel like exercising!!
The Desert Foothills YMCA is a warm and welcoming place, with a wide variety of classes that fits everyone's needs. It is starkly different from the gym I had come from, where profit came before the needs of the members.

Great Y.
Convenience
Great facility for sure. But for me the friendly greeting when I check in simply reflects the staff’s commitment to the members and the managements positive leadership.
I also enjoy seeing all the youth programs that are always in motion. Lastly I truly appreciate and enjoy the handball courts at Desert Mountain.
The Y is a great place for youth, families and seniors. Many classes and gym with equipment to work out on. Staff is friendly and trainers are great.
Wonderful facility and fantastic people working at this specific YMCA. The classes are meaningful, health driven, and the equipment is fairly well maintained
Helpful employees, nice facility
Love everything including the classes, equipment and especially the people.
Everything and everyone.
The facility is clean, the staff is friendly, the machines are in good repair,. I especially appreciate that there is no music blaring!
Our Y is so much fun! They offer so many fitness classes and also personal trainers. The staff at our Y is great! Shannon, especially, is a person who encourages us all and informs us about all the speakers and classes to keep us fit and healthy. Jane is a great addition to the Zumba Gold staff. I always tell everyone to join the Y when I get a chance. My husband goes 3 times a week to workout on the equipment and has met many people as well. My only wish is that the Y would construct some outdoor pickleball courts on their vacant land and offer beginner spinning (cycle) classes. I look forward to seeing how the new addition will be used.
