Member Testimonials
Great atmosphere of friendly and skilled staff, along with welcoming members. Facilities, equipment and classes are great as well. I’ve belonged to other much more expensive gyms in the area, but now that I’ve joined the Y I’ve found the best!
I love that. It’s flexible with other sports and schedules. Coach Will and Montae are wonderful!!! They both make it so fun for the kids!!!

Scottsdale YMCA Family Programs (i.e., Ninja, Enrichment Classes & Parents Night Out)
The transition from after school childcare to the enrichment classes makes it easy for the kids & on the parents.
My Friday yoga class with Angela is always great
Excellent new equipment. Facility is great.
Friendly, good programs, and good instructors
just a nice easy place to workout, friendly staff and customers
Great trainers, friendly environment, very user friendly.
Friendly, committed staff that make room for me and my similarly aged friends to work our bodies. Kim and Jan are obviously devoted to leading us. Example - Exercises in Silver Sneakers and AOA not only are led but are also explained - “you absolutely want to keep your lower back limber. Helps you walk, get in and out of a car, climb stairs without back pain.” They could lead the exercises without practical reasons, but they don’t. And they obviously keep reading and researching.
Friendly; less busy; good yoga ( member for 32 yrs)
Friendly atmosphere clean
Nice workout room!
Staff is great. Both front desk and trainers. Give extra credit to both Jan and Miquel and their teaching style. Both are knowledgeable and share that knowledge of how to exercise properly with their class. I think all people, who exercise, want to know if they are doing the exercises correctly to get the best outcome. Both Miquel and Jan are engaged, encouraging and excellent teachers. 👍👍
Everyone is welcoming and friendly. I've enjoyed each class I participated in so far and look forward to trying a lot more in the future.

Yoga by Jan and Angela
Different classes available: some nice people there.
This year has been truly pivotal! The communication across all forms – the newsletters, responses to questions and concerns, and proactive updates – has been exceptional. Even among staff, there seems to be a greater awareness of what is going on, and if there's a gap, there's a strong interest in finding out the answer and/or solution. I feel like accountability is taken when something is missed .. and much more grace and understanding is given when something goes awry on the child's or parents side.
My daughter has greatly benefited; she has continued to work on her social-emotional skills with team members in confidence and without fear. The YMCA has been a great resource in helping me support my daughter's needs.
The curriculum/activities seem to be more engaging/fun, as I noticed that my daughter has enjoyed sharing with me everything that they have been working on.
We are very happy to be a part of this community!
They have a friendly and helpful staff. Their programs are good.
The coach has been phenomenal./
Excellent teachers. friendly staff
Coaches for team “6-7” are great, they keep the girls engaged and having fun. This experience has been far superior to our experience in Tempe a year ago. We will def be back!
We've been participating in YMCA youth sports programs at the Scottsdale/Paradise Valley location for the past 4 seasons now, and it's been nothing short of fantastic from the very beginning! Our family has been active in youth sports through several different organizations since our kids were very young. After some "ok" experiences, coming to Scottsdale/PV YMCA has been a breath of fresh air! From the very first phone call, the team was, and continues to be, absolutely amazing! Cody, Quinn, and Morgan have made this such an incredible experience for our family. They are a constant source of positive energy and laughter and are completely dedicated to ensuring the kids (and us parents!) are having fun. We love this team, and we love the YMCA!
Great coaching and great refs who encourage teamwork and good sportsmanship
Complete remodel of gym room with room for multiple people.
Wonderful and helpful people, good variety of activities
The front desk staff are are so nice
Friendly staff, variety of offerings
I like to go all the time. I can go morning, noon or afternoon. I have figured out when it's busier but I like to have people around me to motivate me. When it's pretty empty, I can do all my machines for weights and then do some treadmill, elliptical, or bike. I can watch TV on my machine or a huge TV which is always on with something interesting. There are all kinds of people at the Y. People my age, 62, much younger, and older and all types of fitness levels. There is something for everyone. Some people are lifting heavy weights or working with a trainer. Some couples work out together, etc.
I am glad I joined the Scottsdale, YMCA.
