I’ve been using the Y facilities since 1987 when it opened. I used the pool ,did step aerobics and aerobic dance. My husband and myself now mainly do my own workouts in the gym using free weights and the bike, treadmill, and rowing machine. Everyone is friendly and willing to help and give advise if needed. We have made many friends over the years
An excellent place for teens to seniors, so many equipment options and never have to wait. Everyone is so helpful. I wish I lived closer and my work schedule was more flexible. Highly recommend this location!
The Y is doing wonderful work in the community through is Y-OPAS program headed by Kevin for the eldery. Look into this program and volunteer.
Josh and his team provided exceptional personal training.
Good positive place with lots of equipment .
I like that I’m motivated to come to AOF classes 3 times a week to aid in keeping me healthy in my 70’s. Jan is a great instructor & keeps us interested with music, new moves, & fun ! Thru the years people in this group have become good friends & we’ve shared so many unique stories!
Also … the staff & trainers at this “Y”
are friendly, helpful & will go that extra mile for you!
I luv this place 🥰❗️

Great people. Nice facility.
Although the Y in Scottsdale really needs to have an overhaul, the people who work there are very friendly and Josh, my personal trainer, is fabulous.
I look forward to a time when the Y is overhauled and all the fans are working, and the bathrooms are redone. However, although it is an old facility, it is always kept very clean.
Staff is always helpful and friendly. The overall environment is always clean.
Great classes and instructors!

Great family atmosphere and the Trainers care a lot about their clients and their health!
As an older adult who needs to incorporate exercise into her life the Y has been a wonderful "find" for me. There is a choice of many kinds of classes and, in each class I've taken, everyone is always welcoming, kind, helpful, and most of all encouraging. Besides exercise there are enrichment activities for all age groups - it's just a great place to learn, move, and make friends.
Jan’s classes
clean, uncrowded, friendly.
Now especially!!!….that a Tai Chi class has been added as I really missed the years it was not offered. SINCERELY hope this will continue to be offered. Sad that it has not been publicised better!!, as I know there have been more people who were interested in this class. I happened to year about this class from a pickle ball member!!??
The classes for seniors are wonderful. Kimberley is a ‘’gem’’. Great instructor.
Knowing that one can ask a trainer if you’re doing an exercise correctly.
The friendliness of the people at the front desk.
And of course the comrade meeting new people.
I’m so very grateful to be a member of this Y, and to be give this opportunity to give my opinion.
Friendly staff
Lots of classes
Ample equipment
I attend Chair Silver Sneakers 10 am on Tues & Thursday at Scottsdale Paradise Y = came to that class with hip bursitis / wasm’t able to continue in other classes. The class is fantastic. Leader is engaging and keeps the whole class fun - WHILE she gives a thorough 45 minutes for all of us seniors. She explains why we want to stretch the muscles in our legs while leading us in static stretches that keep the ankles and calves pliant. AND she leads us in balance exercises - so important to avoid falls. her combination of exercises has led to more core strength for me than previously! Squats with weights are very effect exercises!
The leader - Kim? - knows her stuff and leads us in different exercises each week to keep muscles strong and pliant. I will continue - the hip is healed - but I will continue!
Great facility ......... clean, comfortable, great equipment, good trainers.
Front desk attendants set a positive tone from the moment you enter the facility!
The cleanliness of the locker rooms, the exercise area and equipment are exceptional.
The variety of the programs and scheduling are wonderful features BUT.....
the glue that holds the Paradise Valley YMCA all together, the foundation on which excellence is
the standard for everything is the AMAZING, PROFESSIONAL, CARING and
KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF.........Kathleen
