Please empty and read what is in the suggestion box. I put a suggestion in there two weeks ago. The box was full then and has not been emptied as of last Fri., 9:15am.
Swim class, M,T,Th,F. Joylynn & Caralynn are fabulous instructors and care about the class. Yvonne is very nice, however, she is in the water; can't see her. With the echo factor in the indoor pool, it is hard to understand her. Without seeing or being able to hear, hard to know what to do.
In these classes, there are (specifically) two ladies that talk continuously & block other swimmers when the exercise calls for moving from one end of the pool to the other, or traveling around the pool. They should move to the side/corner or, when traveling around, stay in the middle. I think the instructors know who I am referring to.
The life guards should release & pull the lap lines before and after classes. Most of the time, they look bored and dis-interested. They should have more responsibility; put away the noodles and bells.
Thank you.
Private location, resort-like theme, peaceful outdoor activities, water classes & group fitness.
-Warm water in the pool !
-Clean shower and dressing rooms. Even though they are old.. they are cleaned really well.
-The swim suit spinner machine to get the water out
I've been a member since Cross Courts shut down in March 2020 and YMCA opened up that summer. It's wonderful. Friendly environment, good equipment, (mostly) respectful members (some still don't wipe down equipment), good room temperature, three TVs always working, never crowded, Michael and Janet are excellent, plenty of parking, equipment is clean. Only (occasional) complaint is the wipes. I'm certain that I'm not the only one who thinks the thin, hardly-moist wipes are worthless. I'll use three times more of those during a workout vs. the thicker wipes. Plus, the thinner wipes just don't clean well, so I feel each piece of equipment is "dirty" before even sitting down. Thicker wipes were back in use last week. Thanks for asking. I'm a happy member.
Staff friendliness and attention, multiple classes for members, all around community spirit.
I love the water aerobic classes, the weight rooms, the people you meet along the way, the friendships you make, the pot luck get-togethers, and most importantly the instructors who obviously care about your health and safety. The lockers rooms are clean and the staff always say hello and good bye. It’s a friendly place with a big heart. I tell all my friends about it. Thanks to all of you that make this place and my experience possible.
Warm Regards,

The YMCA is a life saver to so many people like myself, all the programs are so well organized and easy to participate in. I am fortunate to have my health insurance pay for my membership. I use it mostly for Falls prevention and hydro therapy.
I love the pool and the employees!

I really enjoy belonging to the YMCA in downtown Sacramento. I have met many very kind people and although I only swim there, I know there are other opportunities for me to take some other classes as well, which is wonderful. I really enjoy the people at the front desk. They are very kind and the lifeguards in the morning have been wonderful so far.
The variety of classes for seniors. Water aerobics classes. Instr u ctors are knowledgeable and engaging. Front desk staff cheerful and helpful. Programs for special needs children.
