★★★★★Fiona YoungAmazing staff at kid’s club (kid’s club is such a wonderful resource and I am SO grateful), love the friendliness and community feel here, love the programs I can get my son into when he’s a little older, love how many older adults there are so my son gets to see and appreciate older people, love that there’s always a staff person around to help me if I need it, and love eGYM. A hot tub would be a really nice addition! :)
★★★★★Carina CAurora and her team at the summer camp are outstanding! My daughter enjoys the program so much. They are aligned with some great values that they are teaching and modeling to the kids. You know it’s a good thing when the kids don’t want to leave. Thank you Y!
★★★★★Curt AndersonGreat gym! The weight room has a good selection of free weights and machines, and was recently upgraded. They have some of the best exercise bikes I've used. There are a wide range of exercise classes with excellent instructors, and the staff is always friendly and helpful.
★★★★★Pelin Sema CanIndoor pool is a plus for cold days. The coaches are very professional and the staff are helpful. Namely, Hannah, who was in the help desk near the pool (I think she is also a life guards and a coach) was so helpful and patiently answered all my questions and concerns on our first day that I felt extra comfortable and continuing to go to southwest YMCA (even though it is not my primary one and far)
★★★★★Maria VillarrealI’ve participated in the Les Mills Strength Training program since January 2025, and it has significantly improved my health and well-being. The program’s exceptional instructors have been instrumental in helping me improve my form, my strength and stay motivated. The Kids Club team has also played a huge role in making my child, comfortable and happy during drop-off, turning what used to be tantrums into a positive experience. My child has further benefited from swimming lessons with Ms. Teresa, where they made remarkable progress on their technique after just a few months of consistent practice, and we look forward to returning this summer. Tonya and her staff’s warm and welcoming demeanor has made both my child and me feel truly at home at Southwest YMCA. In addition, Mayu’s yoga classes have been fantastic, and I recently started attending Autumn’s Pop Pilates classes, which—while challenging—have been incredibly rewarding for strengthening my core. 💪🏽
