Member Testimonials
Convenient, good facilities, helpful staff
The center is a community hub. Friendly and inclusive. Great instructors and classes. Location is excellent.
Clean, staff is friendly. Provide a variety of classes for balance and flexibility . Great travel adventures organized by Donna.
The tempe YMCA team is amazing! In particular, Donna H and her Gentle Yoga classes are very special and welcoming to all.
The only negative about the Tempe location (vs other valley Y locations) is the small size of the strength training area. Unless you come at off peak times it’s tough to find basic equipment open.
A great variaety of classes. A friendly, accommodating staff. Good equipment. I appreciate the small circuit room.
Friendly staff and many choices for classes, training, etc
You have lots of good hot water to shower up in, thank you. You are the only gym with a Glute Machine, thank you!
What I Do NOT like about Tempe YMCA or Downtown Lincoln YMCA:
The temperature in the locker room and shower room is way too cold, not just in the winter, but in summer as well. Please, It is ok by me to have a temperature of in the 80s in the summer, but In the winter you let the temperature plummet way below 70 degrees in the winter, and that is not good for Public Health, or mine.
I like the classes for older people.
I like the people I play pb with the people at the front desk the instructors I enjoy the classes u offer I try 2 come 4 days a week I also enjoy 1st Fridays and trips Donna offers 😉
I like atmosphere for chair yoga. Heidi is fabulous. I am excited to try mahjong too.
