Member Testimonials
I like the group exercise class for older adults that Jan gives. She’s such a wonderful teacher/trainer. Being an older adult I need a class like this. And all the YMCA staff are so welcoming and supportive. I love the Y.
I like the familiar faces, the cordial greeting, the locker room and its shower, not to mention the clean workout areas and the variety of equipment at my disposal. Classes if I so desire by professional instructors at varying times also the occasional seminars on health related issues.
Front desk knows your name and greets you with a smile every time!
Friendly staff and lots of equipment for strength training!
The staff and volunteers at the front desk are very friendly and helpful. They seem to know everybody's name. The equipment is superb. When I go in the morning I rarely have to wait for the equipment I want to use to be available
has what I want to be available for exercise and fun
friendly staff. Need to make sure the sanitizer wipes are always available. A lot of times the cartridges are empty. I always bring my own just in case.
Area always clean.
I love the yoga classes and the experience of the instructors. I also enjoy the socializing with the other members in the classes. The YMCA is a nice positive environment with friendly staff and patrons!

The staff and the opportunities available
Friendly staff and trainers!
Great environment and people! (knocked off one point because a number of ceiling fans have been out in the main Scottsdale workout room for over a year, and have been noted with management)
I love the location, size of the facility, its “all are welcome” vibe, the active older adult classes, and the important community programs provided by the Y….
I would, and have, recommended the YMCA to everyone I know. Staff go above and beyond to plan fun activities, help them with school/personal matters.. Kierra literally thinks everyone is her best friend there.
I like the older family oriented membership and the ability to go in and get a good exercise session without being suffocated by Testosterone. Chuckle.
It has an informal friendly relaxed atmosphere. The Exercise classes are very good. The aerobic machines are good.
There is one shortcoming though that I would appreciate your attention with to improve my experience. The Precor weight machines are all "permanently" preset for persons who are at least 6 ft tall and this precludes persons of smaller stature from using them properly or at all and could potentially cause injury. For example, I am 5'5"/135# with a vulnerable lower back and I cannot use the abdominal machine properly because its settings are not adjustable for my size. As a matter of fact, when I've attempted to use it I am forced to severely arch my lower back. Physical therapists would cringe. The previous Nautilus equipment was much more "user friendly" because the adjustments were not bolted and preset for 6 footers.
The friendly members that go there.
Everything
That my health plan pays for my membership. And I moved here from North Carolina where I belonged to a very active club and the weight machines are the same so it made it easy to jump right back into my normal routine! However, this Y can’t compare to the amount of seminars and fun things they had for senior adults. I’m hoping I will see more activities for people my age.
Friendly staff, weight room, and my personal trainer Katrina.
I like my fellow members and the staff. The fitness teachers are great. The facilities are nice.
Very clean environment. Modern equipment. Friendly and courteous staff.
Jack White at the Scottsdale Y make the experience great!! You should celebrate these folks!!
great Y good staff
I attend the gym only. I love the large variety of equipment. The gym is very spacious and my fav part is that it is never packed. Sometimes it’s only 2-3 others in the gym with me and it feels like a personal gym.
Love it, wish they updated the place a little bit more, and fix the play area for little ones.
