I love the location and instructors. However, compared to the Y at Thousand Oaks, this gym's single water fountain doesn't effectively fill water bottles. People slowly filling their bottles creates a long line. The plate weights in the big room are old and too few. We often run out of the regular plates and resort to using hand weights. The weights at the Thousand Oaks Y are new, colorful, and abundant.

I wish there were better hours on Sunday

Lovely members, friendly staff

More evening pilates mat and yoga please!

I like the layout of the gym and the different equipment plus lots of weights to use

The Y is very convenient for me. The staff is helpful and friendly. The equipment is always in good working order and clean. I would recommend it to anyone.

Still far too many people using cell phones on the Precor machines.

Enforce proper use of exercise equipment. People should not be monopolizing machines by taking long rests, looking at their phones, or talking to others while sitting on equipment.

Enforce rules/standards that are posted. No cell use while on equip; no talking on cell phones; while down equip; put up equip and weights; keep the parking lot and grounds clean.

Staff and gym are impeccable with a wide variety of classes. Our favorite being yoga flow on thursday mornings with tori b.

The ymca should consider a tier gym location system like other gyms do. The dr semmes location is lacking in amenities compared to the 151 and Thousands Oaks, yet we are billed the same.

Encourage people to not use their phones while sitting on machines. Rest between sets for no more than one minute on the machines.

I have recommended D.R.Semmes to very many people. It is a lovely community where everyone is accepting and welcoming. The instructors and members are patient and supportive and very knowledgeable on our body’s needs. It provides a very positive atmosphere where you want to come everyday. ❤️

Keep up with repairs on the treadmills for example.

All the issues we've had in the locker room are primarily still there. There has been some improvement but not anything significant.

I enjoy the overall environment of the Y. It’s somehow relaxed, despite what we are doing there. The facilities are always clean. The staff is friendly.

I’d like to see this Y open until 7pm on Sat and Sun.

I have been most fortunate in having Kyle Horstman as a personal trainer, he is a fantastic trainer; patient, kind, knowledgeable, he really likes people and likes what he does. I’m 85 yo a retired physician, through Kyle I “discovered” muscles I didn’t know I had (true) ☺️, my wife noticed that I have improved my gate and my posture….thanks to Kyle! He is the most punctual and always smiling and with words of encouragement, never “in a rush” always attentive and kind. In short, Kyle is a 10 (from 0 to 10)!! My wife and I will take an 8 week trip to South America to visit our family, I’m looking forward to resume my personal training with Kyle when back from my trip. Thank you.

I love my classes

I always feel and see a positive, supportive, kind environment when I go to the gym. It’s peaceful and everyone smiles and hugs and helps each other.

The equipment is always clean and well kept. The ladies that work at the child watch are so sweet and make me feel so comfortable leaving my little one with them.

Facilities are clean, the exercise equipment is modern and has a variety that meet every need of level of workouts.

Very good value for price, friendly, family oriented, inclusive, non pretentious culture

Have more live group exercise classes for seniors (like Silversneakers classes), 5-6 days/week. Have some of these classes in afternoons.

I always recommend the Y to others. Why? Because the staff and exercises are very helpful to my health goals. But most of all this is an organization based on Christian faith and values. I love seeing the bible open with a bowl of take home scriptures for encouragement. I appreciate the scriptures I see around the gym too.
