Member Testimonials
The staff are always friendly and I feel very comfortable at the gym.
It's just a very pleasant experience always enjoy each time I go there.
Good people.
The people who work for the YMCA are outstanding!!
The arthritis water class is just what I was looking for - activity without increasing my bone-on-bone knee pain. And the leader, Pat, is super!

I like the friendly staff and the low key vibe. I don’t like “slick” gyms.
Great place. One recent problem is that the room that the indoor pool is in is very cold. Two lifeguards told me it is always cold and they have neever had heat in there. When I pointed out the larg vents in the room they said that was ventilation for the pool chemicals. That didn't make sense.
My sons swam there for many years in grammar school. I don't remember it not having heat.
Plsase settle my mind on this. Did taht room ever have heat. And how much chemical is in that pool to warrant such a huge ventilation?
Thanks,

Clean, not crowded, friendly.
I love that it's easy to get into group fitness classes. Really enjoy them.
Management is quick to fix things. Very good group of members. Love their class schedule!
I am judging the Y based on several years of experiences in its fitness classes. I also appreciate the opportunities that it offers to our community's children.
However, just to be clear, I do not believe that the YMCA is in a good place at the moment. We need a much deeper bench of trainers and fitness instructors. This week, for the first time ever, I met someone who works in a management position at the Y--Karen Newton. She was incredibly kind and responsive! For the most part, though, Y management is completely invisible to me. I never see them.
Yes, I recommend the YMCA to friends, coworkers and, even, strangers all the time. But, unless management begins to quickly recruit and train more instructors, the Y will lose some of its members.
I enjoy the accessibility of the Central YMCA. I also find the clientele and staff to be generally friendly and thoughtful. Parking is an additional perk.
I just love all the various classes that are offered, as well as the instructors .
I think my Sacramento central does a fantastic job. Especially the aquatics. Im a 69 yo senior that took swim lessons last summer to improve my technique and was so inspired to see all this different age groups you instructors teach. You guys rock!
Everyone is helpful and friendly
Easy check in. Not crowded. Good equipment
Great classes
Staff clean courts
Great facility and friendly people.

I love the yoga class I take 3 days/week and being able to swim laps in the indoor and outdoor pool, as well as use the pickleball courts throughout the day. All staff members are incredibly nice and helpful.
