Member Testimonials

I enjoy the community environment at the Y. People are friendly and the group exercise instructors are wonderful!

Bootcamp with Hallie, Elias, and Jenn is the best!

Good place for kids

The YMCA is a friendly, low pressure environment with plenty of classes and activities to keep me coming back. Thank you!

I’ve been a member for many years, but I’ve only been able to start attending regularly in the last two because of my work schedule. I have to say that I find the atmosphere vastly more welcoming and wholesome than any of the more expensive gyms that I have been a member of in town. I really appreciate the kind behavior of the people at the front desk and the huge variety of classes that are available. Additionally, I find most of the instructors to be very knowledgeable and welcoming, and I have become much healthier over the last two years because the friendliness of the instructors has kept me coming back. There have been many good ones, but I would have to specifically mention Amy, Elias, and Tia. All three of them are much more than instructors, they provide a consistently welcoming and affirming environment. I always tell people it’s not the fanciest gym in town, but in my opinion, it’s one of the most important resources in Sacramento.

Non threatening/judgemental atmosphere

Nice place, not too crowded, helpful staff.

The equipment is great, the spaces are clean and open. Having access to a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room is wonderful.

The non distractions ,

Tia Kilpatrick’s classes. She is an AMAZING instructor and manages to instill joy in exercising. Now that’s a talent, plus she’s a wonderful ambassador for the Central Y always praising it, the leadership and the other instructors. She also promotes the Capitol Y.

I like the social aspect of the Y as much as I like keeping in shape by doing water exercises.

I especially loved loved my dance airobics class with Teresa on Monday mornings! I made friends in this class and it was so much fun dancing to her selection of tunes! We miss her dearly!

I also miss Miss Vickie’s art work on the black board…what happened to her? and what a wonderful cheerful person she is at the front desk! Bring her back!!
