Member Testimonials
The facility is clean and has good physical trainers.
Josh is GREAT personal trainer
There are so many activities from pre-school to seniors. The classes offer a refuge from the summer heat. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Friendly
The equipment, atmosphere, and very nice people
Low key, close to home, all ages
not too crowded
adequate number of equipment in the gym
wish they had longer hours on weekends!
Good access to equipment, good people.
The Trainers are great to work with!
Lots of great programs to choose from for young and old
Friendly atmosphere
I love the weight resistance machine as well as the elliptical and recumbent bikes. My only complaint is that the AC isn’t working at maximum capacity when i come in at 7 am and sometimes it’s just plain hot in the gym.
The atmosphere & the people, especially. @ the front desk!
Size of the free weight & machine exercise areas. Cardio area is very adequate. This is not a negative but a suggestion to improve the Y. Believe longer hours needed on Saturday & Sunday. Floor supervision of younger age clients after school and during the summer. Finally, would always have a staff member present in exercise area at all times 7 days a week. This is a liability concern.
The staff are outstanding and facilities second to none. For a place as busy as it is it is spotless.
Everyone is friendly. The facility is very clean and the classes are varied with wonderful instructors.
Nice people; great equipment; community service focused.
I take yoga classes at the YMCA with Angela Ambrose. I love Angela she has an amazing spirit and she is warm, loving and consistently cares about the member's in the class She is great!!!
I really like the classes for the seniors. Kim Diggs is a wonderful teacher and she works us hard. We also have a lot of fun listening to the music, laughing with each other, and trying to do our best.
Friendly people!
Helpful and professional staff
I love the Y except for the bathrooms! The woman’s room is always dirty and often out of supplies. It looks like there was an attempt to improve things, but it hasn’t been consistent.
I love the trainers, classes, and overall experience.
The gym, & the instructors are all sp helpful & knowledgeable.
Clean, quiet, friendly.
Always friendly not crowded just enjoyable and you feel comfortable to be there
The Y family is a great experience. Our normal group of people that meet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday is extremely nice. All the people are very friendly. We all exercise together and have a lot of fun. Our teacher is great. She is the leader of the whole group and is pushing us to do more that we ever thought we can do. She is fantastic.
Everything!
People who visit the Y are more compatible with my activity goals and objectives. We share similar values
Your selection of equipment
I have recommended summer day camp to many families. My kids love it there and always have a great time. My daughter has been in it for 2 years and this year my son gets to join in. He was saying how he was excited to go to summer camp because it's like school, but no learning. My daughter corrected him, "You DO learn at summer camp. You learn about respect, courage and caring" I love that she gets that from the Y.
Parking, greeting at the door, other members, and equipment access.
I like, appreciate and applaud the Scottsdale-Paradise Valley YMCA's knowledgeable personal trainers, especially Jack W., Josh L., Brian E., Jan, Katrina, and Terri. I like the wide assortment of training equipment and its maintenance. The front desk staff members Fran, Lesley, and Morgan, and volunteer Dave are always friendly, courteous, and helpful. As a 12-year member of this YMCA, I continue to reap a healthy lifestyle of exercising in such a friendly, sociable, and organized environment. Thanks for their good jobs in every way.
