Member Testimonials

I play Pickleball. I really appreciate all the improvements that have been made for this sport.

Lap swim is enjoyable except when sharing with a guy. He takes over the lane . I wish he would stay on his side

My experiences center around the pool. Its a great facility and feel like a lot of options.

My concerns are around pool management - like the Capitol location - has no amenities on the pool deck - no benches or places to put swim bags, etc. Other Y's have a reservation process - and these do not.

There are also lane markers at W St that describe what activities take place in the lane - and then there is zero enforcement by the lifeguards. Is the expectation the guests enforce the Y rules? That would set up for conflict considering a guest doesn't have any authority to enforce rules - but the staff does.

I also have made attempts to contact people at both the Capitol and W St - and there isn't a clear way to contact, which I am finding frustrating.

Classes, instructors

Use of the heated pool.

Good trainers and range of programs and equipment

Your amazing teachers! They are the glue that keeps us all going.

I'm a regular member at the superior Y who mostly uses the pool and cardio and weights - It was nice to have the Capital Y to go swim at while my main pool was down.

You're doing a great job!
thank you

Best pool — and nicest people — in Sacramento!

I love my time at the YMCA. I attend a three-time a week water exercise class for people with arthritistis. It has helped my pain and stiffness. I have met many wonderful people with common determination. There are so many opportunities at the Y for seniors and all ages. My grandsons are active in sports programs at the Y and it is my joy to attend their games.

Staff is helpful and welcoming. Elias, who teaches the stretch and balance class does a great job.

I enjoy the variety of programs. I also like how well the W st. building is maintained. I like working out in the older facility. I'm not sure why, it just feels comfortable and friendly.

Multi-use pool provides opportunities for all skill and age levels.

Good teacher, friendly helpful staff, other members are friendly

Quality staff, great community and all inclusive. There is something at the Y for everyone.

Lots of pickleball, great people and welcoming place to keep my body and mind in shape!

The Y is a meaningful, real community that is focused on individual health and the health of the community. When I workout there, I know the Y community supports me. When I contribute there, I know the Y community is supporting others on this journey, from childhood to old age.

The pool is the most influential reason why I gave this score. The weight room is sufficient, but I have a very basic workout routine, so I don't need useless machines.

Very friendly people

My grandson who had started swimming lessons, thru the Cabana Club & of June 2024 thru Aug 2024 & in October 2024 thru May 2025 thru the YMCA had improved immensely. Now can jump n 12 ft of water & swim to the side using his arms while kicking, breathing & learning Freestyle. He is only 4 1/2 yrs old. He still learning his freestyles because he hasn’t devolved his strong arm muscle. Will learn one technique before learning the next, backwards swim & side breathing which he will developed. I am so impressed every week swimming he had improved weekly. I recommend the teachers here @ the YMCA.

Kind community. Varied programming. Good deal. Care about where clientele. Focused on continued improvement.

Pleasant, comfortable atmosphere. It's not a fashion show. It offers the classes I want at the times that are convenient for me. The staff and other members are very friendly.

I love the group classes in the gym. However the air conditioner needs to be on higher cause fans aren’t really enough. Remember most of the classes have seniors in them!
