★★★★★Jonathan (Jonathan.modern)I like this Y. The weight room has all new machines and lots of them and it's very quiet. I appreciate the two open class rooms that you can use when class is not in session. This has worked out well for me.
★truly blessedvery dirty facility the mirrors are always crusty with fingerprints etc on them harsh to look at while trying to work out alot of members don't use the wipes after using machine like they ask us to do the staff in front desk dont do anything they sit on phones up front even after asking them to clean the mirrors or refill the wipes or take out the full trash bins the inviorment is full of work out warriors that belong at a gym not a family facility like the ymca needs alot of improvement in many ways especially for the price per month here alot of times the things are not operative like sauna room or pool maintenance I think its the montecito location for me 🤔
★★★★★Alexis DoughertyGenerally I enjoy this place; probably could be cleaner, but it is a public facility that offers free admissions for seniors. They seem to invest in new equipment often.
★★★★★Thomas SmithIt's been very clean lately. Hope that continues with good staff & supervision. Hope like to see up dated bike parking & security. Bikes are super expensive now & components can clip right off.
★★★★★Richard WardFirst time here, and a National Member from Ft Worth, Texas. Loved this place! Clean, friendly staff, lots of light, high ceilings, plenty of room and a huge variety of nice and new equipment. Loved the gym and the pool. Thanks SB Y!
