Member Testimonials
Awesome group classes with Megan!!!
Great facility. Great group classes.
Excellent instructors, friendly staff! P40 is great too!
The greeters actually make you feel like your home and not @the gym in the morning. Mr Lee and others are a joy to talk with.
The staff is very friendly and very helpful, if needed. I also love the fact that there are so many different classes that you offer. I love the power40.
great customer service.
Great place to workout
The Y Care staff are all wonderful! They have been extremely caring and supportive with my son, even on his most difficult days. It is his favorite place to go (which has been good for our entire family)!
Diverse amount of activities available to members
Great classes and great instructors 😊
My daughter and I go to the Y in Cordova 3 to 4 times a week and we love it!! I love to workout and she gets to play. WIN,WIN!!
I enjoy walking on the elevated track and on the treadmill.
Friendly staff.
The facility ,& equipment, Track & most of all .. the staff ...thanks
The people who work there and the people who are members.
Friendly place to work out.
The environment at the Cordova location is so positive from the time you enter (I love the ladies at the front desk) and those you interact with why working out. There is no judgement or bias which makes the values of the YMCA so important.
I love the Power 40 classes and yoga.
I wish the yoga room was cleaner and provided a more holistic experience but the teachers compensate for the lack of it.
The friendly faces that greet us at the Cordova YMCA!
Friendly staff especially at the front desk and in the child care room. Relaxed environment. Good for the mind and body.
Equipment in good condition friendly staff and open early for 5am workout.
It is truly a family atmosphere.
I love the Y. Great people. Great environment.
My only thing I would change is I’d love if there was a higher bench in the sauna. Or a fan in the top corner blowing the hot air down. The seats are too low and the heat rises meaning it’s much hotter if stand and much cooler if you sit. Most saunas have a high seating level and low seating level. Would love to see that change.
Good equipment and friendly personal. I am a charter member of Cordova YMCA
How everyone,starting with the front desk people, were so helpful, friendly and warminig.
The gym is nice and the staff in the Youth Center are very good with my son and seemingly care about him a lot.
The welcoming people at the counter, the classes that are offered and the Youth Centers for my children.
Friendly and personable staff, always smiling and enjoy their jobs! Makes the biggest difference. Y Play staff are amazing with my son as well, I can workout guilt free thanks to them!
The facility equipment and layout could use an upgrade. Some of the attachments are worn out, the flooring is slightly warped upstairs, and the mirror space is LACKING. I would also like more leg oriented equipment like a hack squat, dead lift platform, etc. I think a reorganization would do them well upstairs to maximize mirror and workout space
I have been a member of the Y for years. It is, by far, the best overall value when it comes to varied exercise and opportunities for fitness. Partly because it offers so much in the way of classes, swimming, strength training etc, but also because it’s available in so many locations . I work downtown, and swim laps at Fogelman, and live in Cordova and attend Zumba and Yoga classes at the Cordova Y three days a week. Recently, I was out of town on the East Coast and was able to exercise at the Y there. They are all over the country and welcoming everywhere.
Aside from the financial value is the value of the down to earth, diverse community of people that I’ve met and become friends with through my classes there. I feel more comfortable working out there because everyone is a regular person like me.
I suggest the YMCA to co workers, friends and family regularly! I am always happy to endorse the Y!

Always a friendly greeting at the front desk. Great staff, especially Sarah, Tim, and other lifeguards. Sarah also is doing a good job communicating cancellations.
