Trainer Chris Reeder is great. Has thoughtful exercises that factor my age and agility. Most impressive, however, is that he’s aware of the environment.
During one of our workouts he observed a member in distress on the bench press. The weight was leaning on his chest and the floor. Chris observed the situation and immediately intervened! His situational awareness and quick response allowed the member to avoid any potentially life-altering injury.
After expressing to management that we needed a second boxing bag to promote a healthy exercise environment my concern on needing another bag was accepted and is still being considered. Additionally, the extended hours as well as the evening classes offered help out alot throughout the year.
I appreciate all the staff that is super helpful and creates such a great atmosphere to work on health. I appreciate so many offerings of the Y! I am so grateful that you have inbody available to track progress! So happy I joined the Y!
I like the variety in classes, all the equipment and how clean it is. I do wish the a/c was better over all. Example: The class with Beth tonight was very warm and uncomfortable.
Zumba GOLD classes!
I travel to the far south side YMCA for Zumba Gold.
I enjoy it so much and the classes are packed! That location has 2 Zumba Gold classes a week.
Would love for the Thousand Oaks location to offer it.
I've been a member since the Y opened. I come three times a week. Overall, I seriously like the Y. However, the condition of the locker room and showers has never been worse. I remember when it was pristine, and you had towels, and all the lockers had locks that worked. Not the case anymore. It's generally dirty. The shower curtains are beyond poor condition. The shower heads are also poor. I actually liked the old equipment on the floor more than the current equipment, but I've gotten used to it - not a problem. I also used to know everyone who works there, but not anymore. Overall, I will always keep coming. Please give some serious attention to the locker room and showers.
The facility is clean and has great workout equipment. The locker room is very nice. I like going there whenever I can. The hours are good and it's easy to do my workout.
