    Fun class, great atmosphere, comaraderie, love the teacher. Wish times weren't different every day, and that it was also available Tues and Thursdays.., or that there were extra sessions as some days there are so many of us we run out of equipment.

    Friendly staff, talented instructors, and great variety of classes at all levels. Instructors don’t make you feel inadequate if you can’t do all the exercises. Very supportive environment.

    I joined the Santa Rosa YMCA 35 years ago when we first settled in Santa Rosa. My wife and I feel that we are now over 77 years young, thanks in large part to our regular workouts at the Y. Over the years I have seen many significant improvements in both the facility and its social support programs. I remain very impressed by the consistent and dedicated work of the whole Y team, many of whom we have known for several decades. They give us a very attractive and affordable place to exercise with a large variety of well run specially designed exercise options. I use the modern gym equipment two or three times a week. My wife, Tara prefers the chair yoga class which is well run and provides her with an all around calisthenic experience. The fact that our very reasonable family dues also goes to support local kids with social support activities like holiday events and summer camps makes us feel pleased and even more committed to this valuable community treasure. If you think you too could use a clean, friendly, effective place to exercise, join us. I know you will feel welcomed. Geza Kadar

    When I joined the Y in 2016, I had no idea what I would get from attending classes, and swimming five days a week at 5:30 in the morning. I was not only improving my physical fitness, but my emotional fitness, and creating community. Every time I went to the Y I would always bump into a friend I had met in a class or in the pool. Some of those people have become my dearest friends. the Y is not just a gym it’s a community center. The new pool renovation makes me feel like I’m swimming at a five star resort every morning at 5:30. It’s so beautiful. I get sad when one of the lifeguards leaves. I’m so grateful to be part of this amazing organization. I just turned 80 years old in October and my daughter wants me to move closer to her. I said no, I’m sorry I can’t leave the YMCA in Santa Rosa.
