★★★★★EvanSuper clean facility. Professional staff/super friendly. Swimming pool is clean/managed well.
★★★★★Margaret EisenbergAlways clean. Friendly Staff. Helpful knowledgeable fitness staff. Excellent exercise-class instructors. Huge variety of exercise classes (from gentle/restorative to rigorous to fun). Saline swim pool. Awesome gym w/ high-quality equip. Good vibe for people of all ages (programs & classes support young, elderly & everybody between). I do wish they were open 1 hour later (like pre-covid), allowing more time to get home from work, eat, then gym. Hoping they'll expand hours. Also wish we had a sauna, but luckily can go to Embarcadero YMCA for that. updated review: Still LOVE C-town YMCA! These days, I've been using their gym section most. always love going there. Clean and spacious. Other gym members are definitely into their workouts too, while also being pleasant to be around (& broad range of ages). I also enjoy the lovely saline pool. The lifeguards are great, and recently 2 of them helped me with a swim earplug "situation"-- which saved my day/week! (thank you, lifeguards.) Still rooting for the facility to be open 1 hour later.
★★★★★Vanessa MirandaThe Y in Chinatown is great! It’s clean, it has a friendly staff and great group classes. More recently they started Yoga classes on Wednesdays with instructor Mayo and it’s amazing! The instructions are clear, and I got out of there feeling amazing. Great job starting this class, everyone loves it! 🩷🙏🏼
★★★★★Lucie BarlingJune 12, 2025 My most favorite exercise at the Chinatown YMCA in San Francisco is BODYPUMP, instructed by a Carol L. Her classes are always so much fun, in which she really knows how to motivate me to lift a particular weight and to make each movement count. Her kind and generous attention to my condition, with a recent injured left arm is truly appreciated. May 22, 2025 With a left "frozen shoulder," I hesitated but did attend an Aqua Fit group exercise in the salt water at the YMCA in Chinatown in San Francisco this Thursday's morning. Before the exercise started, I informed our instructor, LaKee Brandin Tolliver, of my injured arm. He calmly advised me to go at my own pace. Throughout the exercise, LaKee had often watched over and provided me with the needed encouragement, also clarification on specific proper movements. His instruction was clear, easy and fun to follow. A great teacher, indeed.
★★★龔振勝Bruce Lee history: The 致柔拳社 ("The Soft Arts Academy.") was started by 陳微明 back in Shanghai, and eventually they had a branch located in the US, and the YMCA is where they practiced. Unfortunately for them, they were the ones who cajoled Wong, Jack-Man into challenging Bruce Lee to a fight in Oakland.
