I like the outdoor pool

The Y’s staff are friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and well maintained. Parking downtown can be tricky but not impossible. The monthly fee is reasonable. The classes are varied and the coaches are pleasant. I recommend without reservation.

Well I have to say that things are improving since opening. It’s also nice to see more people attending the Capital Y.
A few things that I would like to see improved: 1) Cleanliness - it’s not bad, but could improve. What happened to the woman who was walking around cleaning? I was nice to see someone cleaning! The Pilates room upstairs should be cleaned every evening - I’m in that room regularly and I see dirt on the floor, dust bunnies, etc.
2) I sure you’re aware of this but I will state it here - the HVAC upstairs needs adjusting/tuning as every room upstairs is a different temperature - some feel like a sauna, others like an ice box.
3) The Pool - thank you for the recent maintenance! Can we keep the temp consistent at 82 degrees please ? Any warmer and it’s uncomfortable for lap swimmers. Those who use it for other reasons and complain about the temperature being too cold should layer on some swim gear - lap swimmers can’t take off any more gear to cool down. Also, keeping the pool at 82 helps keep your operating costs down.
With the money you would save by keeping the water temp at 82, you could buy us some adult pull buoys!
Otherwise, I am enjoying the Pilates, TriDry, and strength training classes.

Thank you,
George BALDINI

For older Kaiser folks, it's a great deal. Instructors and their classes are invaluable

Great place for every age.

It's convenient and family friendly

Th

I recommended someone, who actually joined. I informed him of the various water classes.

Closed too many times, but still paying higher dues

No text, no email on CapY closer for swim lessons while the W street pool is closed. I paid almost $5 to park by the CapY. When I went to the door the note said 3-7 swim lessons. Really! And since I had not brought any other workout I was out of luck and money.

Our Capital Y is exceptionally clean, quiet, friendly and professional. The group exercise teachers are excellent. We love our neighborhood Y!

More group classes. Parking!!

Equipment is in need of repair often

There's plenty of activities and different types of workouts to do, the trainers are great, and the membership fees are very reasonable.

Everyone is so friendly and nice. I like that I can go to multiple clubs in the Sacramento area. I’m really grateful for cycling and cycling classes that are in my budget. Previously, I was not able to do them because private classes are so expensive. Thank you!

The weight rooms have poor circulation and need music.

Cloce to home

Cardio room is stifling hot. Need stairclimbers and ab machines.

Extend weekend hours.

I have recommended the Y to both a neighbor and my adult daughter. Since we live about 10 minutes away, it is a very convenient option.

Nice facility and friendly staff.

I visited the pool on Labor Day. There weren't many people there and it was easy to get a lane. The facility is lovely and the pool well maintained. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. It was my first visit. I would suspect that parking is difficult on weekdays, which may be a deterrant.

The upstairs has been hot since I joined and this is a huge bummer. I’d hope that it would be fixed after more than a month. Given that, I would be hesitant to recommend someone since the temps are a big part of a workout routine.

Great classes, trainers, friendly members.

It would be nice to coordinate classes with Sac Central YMCA. For example, not having zumba classes at the same time. People would be willing to support both locations if there were fewer class conflicts.

Bad experience with personal trainer. Rude treatment by one of the Pilates instructors. Not enough Pilates scheduling options.

All ymca locations need to protect biological females in the bathrooms/locker rooms/private spaces. Biological men posing as females do not belong. I will cancel my membership if this does not change, and will encourage other females to do the same.

Quality of facilities, services, and member interaction

In general, it's a very good facility, especially because the equipment is brand new. In the summer it would be nice to have some wall mounted fans going. There is also only one location with dual cables, which is popular. It would be nice to have a dedicated dual cable machine.

The Y is wonderful and would be wonderful if teaching staff could have more compensation when they teach really large steadily filled classes that actually bring people to the Y

Please post the current schedule for September on all of the bulletin boards. This is my second request. I can’t believe they don’t already do it. please fix the air conditioning and the upstairs cardio room.

Work with the city to make parking around the gym free on evenings and weekends.

Nice equipment and love the summer pool hours for lap swimming. Hope that becomes a year round thing instead of just summer.

Lockers are very small, not sure why most have locks that are not accessible. Showers could use some stalls. Weekend hours aren’t great.

The vibe at the Y totally suits my casual, unpretentious style. the instructors are awesome and respect the older group they are instructing. It would be so easy to be injured if the instruction was not geared for older adults. Also - you care and it shows.

I would love to see more group fitness classes offered. Water aerobics would be great but might require a deeper pool. I would love adult swim clinics or adult-only/masters swim classes. A place to park would be great, too. Overall, I wind up going to the Central location more than the Capital one because of the class offerings. I would prefer to come to the Capital site.

Rally nice gym, very clean, the aerobic weight machines are fully functional. Love to see the kids place basketball on Saturday mornings, very family orientated. I guess - and I don't know how busy the gym would be but maybe closing at 8:30pm on weekdays might be nice - having said that I could see the front desk people would like to go home, as it would be late for them. Anyway, love the gym and the friendly/family type atmosphere - thank you for being there, Julian N

I use the swimming pool, dry/steam sauna. Lifeguards are great, always on time, water temp around 82 degrees summer and winter. Front desk greets you. Everything as you hope it would be is!

Wonderful range of equipment, clean and enjoyable space. Kind greeters at check in. The joys of a relaxing spa sauna experience

It would be very nice if a small, quiet room was available for meditation.

I like the scope of facilities available, and how clean the facility is. Having showers and lockers available is very convenient and makes a huge difference to me. I especially like the fencing program. Only improvement would be slightly longer hours in the evenings since I usually can't come in much earlier due to work and my workout routine gets a bit tight.

Facility is very nice - lots of cardio and weight training equipment available. Some great new class offerings too.

I am working near by (CalTrans) and my goal was to do some group exercises during lunch. There were 2 noon classes (Tuesday and Thursday) when I joined and I was told you will be adding more. Instead I see Thursday Pilates dropped one and now I feel that it is not worth paying monthly fee or 1 single class.

The hours are really bad, especially when you consider the price of the membership. With the recent announcement of membership fee increases, it is no longer worth it for me to stay a member.

I really like the proximity to my house, but I find myself going to the Alhambra gym due to better equipments. The weight machines are so old and when something breaks, it will literally takes months to be repaired.
The cleanliness is less than reliable as there are dust on most equipments and I often see the cleaning lady on the her phone in the break room talking or talking to people while the sanitizers are empty and so on.
I however love the people that go there and the pickle ball is amazing.
Also the desk people could be friendlier (a few are).
Sorry? But you asked for my opinion 😢

Tia Kilpatrick is a very gifted teacher. She is my motivation and inspiration

No water aroebics, no hair dryers, no swimsuit spinners!

I am down to support YMCA and what it stands for, but as a paying customer of the gym I would like there to be simple items. Hand soap in the restroom that doesn’t take more than a day to refill, sanitary wipes that are plentiful to wipe down my sweat, air conditioner that runs in the upstairs cardio room, and timely fixes to broken equipment.

It takes awhile for maintenance related items to get resolved.

The Pilates program is building with Tia, and with the addition of Dave Freker. It’s strong and the classes are top notch. I’d like to see more Zumba and other group ex classes added which are not for fee. That would get me to the gym more and attract new members.
