I'm 65 and when I went only a couple times I felt ancient around those people. They sit around playing board games and crocheting their only real activities are boring bingo or casino trips. I am not interested in those 2 things. The icing on the cake was the director Zee, I'm not sure but I think he's a man but definitely doesn't carry himself that way. He's very flamboyant. The first time I went there I would have thought he would introduce himself but all he/she did was stare at me. I have now joined a nearby Senior Center and it's very welcoming and very much unlike San Pablo Senior Center. I don't recommend this location. There are so many other options for seniors who don't feel ancient.

Welp, this location is itty bitty. No parking. And limited equipment, but it'll get the job done…read more The staff was super nice. The lady answered all of my questions, and she was willing to show me around but I politely declined. The free weights go up to 60lb dumbbells. There's a dual cable machine near the 3 weight benches. There's a TRX band, sand bags, and twos sets of the small dumbbells. I just needed an hour bench workout, and I got it. The location is just off the main strip. A little walk around the area was nice. I found parking one street over in the residential area. The roads are tight and parking can be hard to find, but this place did good by me.

The Albany branch is very good: friendly and helpful staff, all the cardio and weight equipment you…read morecould want, a great air filtration system, and many classes offered in the gym. The not so good is about poor customer service from the East Bay central office. They're not accessible, transparent, responsive or professional. I submitted an inquiry about certain deliberate, repeated and disruptive member behaviors, including a question about what help other members could expect from desk staff. The central office agreed it was disruptive, said they'd do XYZ, and then....no action, and silence for over half a year, unresponsive to a few follow-up inquiries. Then recently the Y central office emailed me that, in their experience, my experience didn't exist, never mind their earlier acknowledgement, and that it was up to me to suck it up and somehow deal with it. I am so disappointed with the East Bay YMCA member "services" crew, and with the complete lack of effective communication and recourse channels.

I also want to give a shoutout to the front desk staff, Alaysia (sorry if I misspelled your name!)…read more She is so sweet and welcoming. I really appreciate how open she is to listening to feedback, and I've also noticed how she interacts with first-timers. The level of attention and care she shows--especially by asking about injuries the club should know about--really stands out. It makes new members feel seen, safe, and comfortable. She's truly the cherry on top of an already amazing team of instructors.

It was fairly good and clean gym, they do get super busy in the evenings and have time limits for machines (during busy times), but oh well. I did take taekwondo there too, though though I wasn't too keen on the teaching style.

I general, I like Green Yogi and have gone to several yoga classes here over the years. The…read moreinstructors have been lovely and over-all very positive experience with the studio and the classes I have taken. However, I would strongly advise AGAINST attending their T-groups. I will explain why: These are not lead by licenses therapists, however are intended for interpersonal problems to insure. That feels problematic in itself. Additionally, because the facilitators are not licenses therapists, there are no ethical code they legally need to abide by. What became worse was when it was revealed that the facilitator, Nasiem, turned out to be roommates and friends with one of the participants in the group. So, when there became an interpersonal issue between me and her friend/rommate, Nasiem was not a neutral party. I did reach out to Nasiem to discuss my concerns and she had the opportunity to respond to me but but I never head back from her. Because of this, I did not return to group. I feel comfortable calling out this situation and this facilitator in particular because I gave her the opportunity to connect with me and for whatever reason she did not. Would highly advise against the T-groups. Please reach out to me if you would like more information on my experience. I am happy to share.
