Great classes and instructors. Friendly staff. Good community.

My water aerobics class is close to home and I enjoy the instructors. Twice a week is perfect for me and so is the class time.

Clean, helpful other clients, good equipment

Just did the water aerobics a d enjoyed the Tuesday class

Took part in Angels swim aerobics. I’m telling friends to go just because of that

I attend several gyms.
The Y is by far my favorite.
The facilities are a bit old but always very clean. (As opposed to some of the newer gym’s I have been to)
However ….the other attending people are unfailingly nice and friendly, and the teachers are very good.
The front staff is pleasant and courteous and checking in and out is a breeze.
There is something for everyone.
It’s my favorite gym in years.

Never crowded, people of all ages there. It’s not intimidating

Very nice people as soon as you come in the door to greet you. They are always very helpful and kind and patient. The people that work out in the workout room are always respectful and kind and the whole vibe just makes me feel happy.

I have had a great experience from every class I've taken.

The facility is bright and clean.
The classes are on time and very helpful.
The workout equipment is current and up to date.

The cleanliness and the wonderful staff

Good classes, good teachers, friendly people at the front desk, friendly students in the classes I attend. I also like the community feel of the Central YMCA. It's wonderful to see the facility used by so many, including kids.

amount of exercise machines. Curtious staff

more than one location!

Although I am a senior now, I have been a member for many years. I have enjoyed swimming laps, volunteering with special needs kids in the pool and have made many long-time friends. Overall, I like that the Central YMCA accommodates all members of the community. From ver young children to the old seniors, like me. Even though I do not use the facilities as much as I used to, I still maintain my monthly fees in order to keep in touch with what's going on at the Y, and because I just want to be supportive. Thanks for being there.

Water classes. Staff is helpful. Making new friends. Love the teachers.

I've attended the arthritis water class with Pat for about 18-20 years. It is excellent and has done wonders for my arthritis in knees and shoulders.

Before my arthritis took over I also attended the Tai Chi classes with Frank. They also were outstanding.

I have recruited new members for the water class as well.

Desk person friendly, the teacher Pat at the water aerobics for arthritis class is so welcoming. Kudos to Pat.

I love the pool.

Great assistance

Your front desk staff are wonderful! Mollys Zumba class on Thursdays is the best!! I also enjoy Zumba on Monday and Friday. Celeste is not a good teacher, of either Zumba or BollyX, and her classes are of poor quality. She doesn’t remember the steps and it’s disorienting. Why does she get two classes per week?! Surely there must be a more competent teacher for at least one of those days. I love the yoga classes on Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings! The workout room isn’t inspiring per se but it’s not often crowded and the machines work well. Thanks for your community services! I don’t use them but I appreciate that you provide them.

1. sense of community
2. welcoming atmosphere
3. variety of fitness classes

The gym is welcoming and it’s a great environment

Great inspiring staff that adjusts intensity to the level of most class participants. Friendly supportive community for seniors who want to stay fit and connected. Inclusive non judge mental atmosphere

The Y offers valuable programs for all Sacramento residents- youngsters to octogenarians (and above!!!). I recently began Qi Gong classes-I love them, and the instructor!

I love the water aerobics class taught by Pat and the amazing family friendship I have developed.
