The Y works for we as I like the water
Aerobics to improve my balance, osteopenia and muscles!

I enjoy the folk who swim to improve their health.

Sacramento Central YMCA is more than just a place I exercise—it feesl like my community and a place where I feel comfortable, welcomed, and connected

Because I paid cash, the first month. Now if I return I pay 29.00

I love the water aerobics class and my friends I have developed they are my new family.

Updating the strength equipment and having more variety in strength equipment. Also the children's care area is quite small.

I like the services and convenience at the Y.

Lots

Old bench pads that were ripped and duct taped back together. No a/c in the cardio room

On summer days, its hard to run on the treadmill because the room is not cool enough and the treadmills are by the window getting all the heat from outside

More intermediate level exercise classes for seniors.
Instructors that are trained and focus on proper and safe body mechanics. Mohammed and Amy are excellent examples.
Have instructors stick to class size limits in the Studios. The gym being an exception.
Have more hand weights. Participants take 2 pair of different weights which limits availability.

Everything! Personnel are helpful and friendly. The facilities are well maintained. Communications of upcoming events and ways to participate are always well done.

I really like the convenience of the Y and love the Water Arthritis class - Pat is such a good coach!

More dance-based classes. Evening dance classes are difficult for women with families. Dinner time. And really, most people can’t eat right before a dance class.

The biggest reservation I have is the severely outdated gym equipment and lack of plates in the weight room. I prefer the Capital location for that reason only

Since I'm new (sort of) I asked the young lady at the front desk if she had time to give me a brief in service on how to operate the stationary bikes. She was wonderful! So kind, patient and helpful. I also was happy that it wasn't too crowded on the day/time I went which is always a plus. Thank you.

More open swim slots from 5pm to 8pm.

My feedback to you is my bringing a guest or potential new member to your facility would not be possible. For starters, the lobby is so uninviting. The interior is ridiculously old and shabby and what few chairs that are in the lobby seem like they came out of a fast food restaurant. That is, they are metal, bulletproof, uncomfortable and uninviting to the member.
The equipment room is also pretty dismal. The “equipment out of order” signs on the equipment never seem to get resolved. One of the machines has had a sign on it since 2025. As of yesterday there were signs on 3 machines. One since December.
Great staff. Everyone’s friendly. Substandard facility.

A lot of equipment too old, poor surface for pickleball and never anyone there for pickup basketball

Best place to meet people become wonderful friends!

The showers are open. i have to get the chairs in order to excercise in the gym and put them back. Are the teachers certified.

The cardio room is so hot and the weight room downstairs is nice and cool. Why is that and how can we get the cardio room to be the temperature of the weight room? Especially when it’s 100 degrees outside. It’s not safe to run on a treadmill when it’s 80+ degrees inside.

I love the strength training classes taught by Lily but I wish you had more of this type in the afternoons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have voiced this request multiple times but nothing has come of it. The only increase I have seen is the small class that costs $400 dollars or so extra. Very disappointing.

The facility is not clean

Machines are old and sometimes broken for many weeks. There is also only one machine for certain exercises (pull down for example) so if it is down or being used you are out of luck.

The AC in the cardio room is either not working or inadequate so it is uncomfortably hot this summer.

Staff are nice

I love my local YMCA.
I would enjoy some water exercise classes in the morning.
