    Just started going to the YMCA. This one is in Cupertino, and is imo the best, compared with the SJ, Mountain View, and even Palo Alto west locations. The gym has lots of great equipment, both cardio and anaerobic. There are two power lifting stations for those who got work to do on the olympic bar. However, by far the best PERK at the Northwest YMCA is the pool. Super clean, space for lap swimmers (please mind the etiquette of either splitting the lane, or swimming in counter clockwise fashion) and a separate section for kids/kids classes. The memberships are quite affordable, and you can go to any of the YMCA-SV locations. Highly recommended to anyone who is getting started or returning to the fitness journey.

    One of the best YMCA locations in the Bay Area, it's new and clean. I particularly appreciate the locker rooms and the pool. While I haven't explored the machines, weights, and workout areas yet, they seem to offer a good variety of equipment. My only complaint would be the low and weak water pressure in the showers. I understand this is likely due to water conservation efforts, but it results in longer showers, negating the intended savings.

    We tried the swimming class here and it was too crowded. Class sizes are big and not much one on one attention. Cleanliness of the facility is an issue too. We ended up going to another swim school. The gym is nice though and has great equipment.

    A warm space with a friendly vibe. If you want a communal environment with a variety of offerings to explore in the health, wellness and fitness area this place definitely meets and exceeds those expectations. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They really take the time to answer questions. They are also constantly offering new types of classes including aqua yoga, RPM, GRIT (interval training) and BodyFlow. This specific YMCA has high quality yoga, taiji (tai chi), and qigong instructors. They are all extremely knowledgable and teach to the students; not just instruct a choreography. A steal in comparison to other gyms with what you pay for -- swimming pool, gym with functional strength equipment.

    Hello! I've had some bad experiences with open showers, nothing personal, but some people are really disgusting. My question is this, are there open showers or semi-private showers? At least sections that cover person to person? Thanks

    Take a tour and you'll see there are private shower stalls (handicap accessible) as well as a row of open showers. This is in both male and female locker rooms.

There is never judgment from the staff or the people who work out. I love them all. I am proud to call this gym my gym and I'm so happy to be part of this community. Are the equipments best in class? No. But I will come here because of the people and honestly - to be fit all you need are free weights, cardio equipment, and a little help from your friends. The trainers are always so helpful and the manager, Nico is so fun and friendly. For training I recommend Edwin. He has the most transformative training I've ever seen. I have seen his clients transform to their goal body. He takes his job seriously, corrects you while training and understands that proper form is key. He's given me tips and has also helped me transition my training to something suited and better for me and I've seen changes in the way my body respond! So- kudos to Edwin! The front desk staff from Chloe, Mayra, Lance, Andy, and Rishi are so approachable and always there with a smiling face. Jose Luis - the trainer's manager is also super helpful! Sometimes- it isn't about the equipment - it is about the people you surround yourself with that genuinely roots for you that makes a place a second home. Yes, this is my second home. I am here daily and lose days twice a day.

I've got an arm injury and he's been great about providing alternatives for some exercises while keeping the flow of the class going for all. So impressive. There is no 'hard sell' at this place - which I really appreciate, and their endurance as a studio is there because they offer great programming and great product via the classes that they have. If your schedule means that you can only do infrequent or irregular classes, through to dedicated multi-times-a-week practice for strength, core, upper body and lower body work, you can do via the classes at this gym - so check it out!

However, there were some minor improvements that can be made. 1) the class sizes felt too large. For the boot camp class, there were close to 30 students and approximately 8-10 different "stations" or rotations going on simultaneously. There were 2 instructors going around demonstrating the activities and correcting form but ultimately, we felt confused half the time. The echo and music also made it difficult ti follow the instructor sometimes. 2) for the boxing class, the different punches were called out as numbers 1-6. It took a while for my partner and I to figure out which number correlated to which technique. It was out first time attending the class, and I'm sure the regulars would know which number correlated to which punch. However, it would have been nice to have a quick intro during class. The gym is new, so I'm sure they are working out the kinks over time!
