Northwest YMCA

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for years and I love my local YMCA. It's one of the busiest and most often used facility of the Santa Clara YMCA's. The staff is always trying to improve. The facility is clean. The variety of group exercise activities is very wide. The available cardio and strength training equipment is up to date and well maintained. The child care available is wonderful. The indoor pool has many scheduled activities with a water slide and mushroom that is fun for the family. I hope to see you there!

Fantastic experience: It is a really convenient place! You can exercise, then go cool down for a swim. Great Place

Fantastic experience: Facility is beautiful and group exercise is strong --Ronda is the gold standard; amazing Body Pump, Core, and Spin classes!! Her cueing is fab, great form, provides the right modification advice, and she's hilarious. Angela is also wonderful; super energy and always right on point with exercises that are good for us, safe, and engaging. TY!

Fantastic experience: The swim classes are great so far my kiddo

Fantastic experience: Everything from the amazing instructors and Y staff .. awesome classes and motivated energetic members..the whole vibe of Y is positive..Y is family

Fantastic experience: I drive quite a ways to take my child to go to this YMCA. Specifically because the lessons are in small classes. In addition the management is exceptionally responsive. With every lesson my daughter has progressed at a steady pace. And when she isn’t ready they help build her confidence so that when she is ready she is a confident swimmer. She is developing a love for swimming. Which is really second to what these lessons are supposed to do. The original intent of course is to save oneself in the water. At the Northwest YMCA, yes learning to swim is a priority but learning to love swimming is the ultimate prize.

Fantastic experience: We like the indoor pool. The shallow end of the pool is very friendly to new swim learning kids. The group class setting is also helpful for kids to conquer the fear of water.

Fantastic experience: Really nice and organized center. I usually like going swimming there. I enjoy going to this center: the staff is really friendly and helpful with any questions you might have

Fantastic experience: The indoor swimming pool is all season available.

Fantastic experience: This ymca have up lifting staff & Is a place where I can get most of my work out, So that alone is good for me

Fantastic experience: We are taking swimming lessons there. Kids get the necessary attention from the coach, groups are 4-6 kids.

Fantastic experience: The child care here the people the e gym, the trainers the equipment just everything here is better! They need more funding so that they can have more days where child Care is open but other than that everything here is better! In my opinion

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Extensive programs.

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful YMCA. The exercise classes are taught by very qualified personnel, the front staff are incredibly friendly, and there is a great variety of classes to take. In addition, there is a great sense of community spirit and giving back. Overall, a great place for families and friends!

Fantastic experience: This place is great. The staff are friendly, professional and welcoming. The indoor weight area is well-appointed, with two squat / deadlift platforms and a bench press. They have a nice outdoor workout area on astroturf with additional squat racks. It isn't too busy (I typically work out in the morning). They have plenty of treadmills & stairmasters. The pool & facilities are nice. The lockers all have locks built in. Great gym, great staff!

Fantastic experience: Swim coaches Brenden, Emilie, Fabiana, Jason, Alex, Anna, Emma, Jun, Nisa and the entire team are simply awesome! Can’t say enough great things about the swim staff at the Y!

Fantastic experience: The Northwest YMCA (Cupertino) is a great place to go not only for working out, they have many programs for the whole family. Their swimming instructors make the kids feel confident in the water, encouraging them to learn and busting their self-esteem. They also have other programs like kids in motion, dodgeball and parents night out that allows the parent to work out or have some free time while the kids are having fun in a safe environment.

Fantastic experience: Warm pool water. Clean locker rooms. Plenty of equipment and variety of classes (for a 58-yr old female).

Positive experience: Staff is warm and helpful. My kids (6 & 8) love basketball and swimming classes.

Fantastic experience: High quality, diverse group classes. Group trainers are enthusiastic. It’s clean & well kept. Great staff.

Fantastic experience: The staff at Northwest YMCA are extremely friendly. Their equipment also help me to get my strength back. I'd highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to workout. Family atmosphere. Dedicated instructors. Excellent facility. Awesome staff. Past 4 years Northwest YMCA changed my life. I started living my life with happiness. Improved my health a lot. Thanks to staff and all my friends in Northwest YMCA.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, people and community. Feel like family there.

Fantastic experience: -inclusive - I noticed the impressive diversity of YMCA members, including people of all ages, nationalities etc -big choice of sport activities, adapted to people of various level of fitness -long opening hours -good equipment at the fitness center -staff is very nice and friendly :)

Fantastic experience: Convenient location. Nice staff.

Fantastic experience: I enjoy the friendly environment and generally good open hours. I also see the staff cleaning the machines regularly so they gym area with machines stays pretty clean.

Fantastic experience: I love the variety of classes, which encourages me to try new activities outside my comfort zone, keeping me literally and figuratively on my toes! I appreciate the generally high quality of the instructors, and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The machines in the main gym, and the stretching room are kept in good order, clean and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: A great gym where the staff is amicable, and you get to know them like family and friends - something you don't get in a bigger gym. They have several classes from Yoga to bootcamp, and my favorite is the spinning in early days and later evenings. Another favorite thing for me is the swimming pool since it is always clean and not crazy busy. Lastly, part of your money is to subsidize a child's daycare and a summer camp, so they don't stay at home alone.

Fantastic experience: They have great kids' programs and their staff is engaging and fun. My kids love this Y when we get the chance to go.

Fantastic experience: The staff are friendly. Great varieties of programs and activities. I love the exercise machines.

Fantastic experience: The facilities are very good and best of all there is a wide variety of fun activities for both me and my 10 year old to do so we both get exercise we want to do at the same time. So much better than my having to sit around in a hallway or parking lot while she does her activities and then searching for time I can leave her long enough to squeeze in exercise for myself.

Fantastic experience: Cycling class, kids club, kids zumba, jumpin gymboree, etc...all the classes are fun and good workout classesMainly I like the free family events organized monthly :)

Fantastic experience: Great and very good price for swimming with family

Fantastic experience: Janelle is very personable and knowledgeable in the Wellness Center. Cheryl has made our experience with Kids Club so enjoyable and my son looks forward to going! This is my favorite Y location.

Fantastic experience: Love BodyPump and Cx classes. The instructors are high energy and the people are friendly. I've been attending classes for several years and I still find them worthwhile and challenging.

Fantastic experience: This facility is very special. First impressions was that it is very community oriented and quite diverse. The classes are free (except for swimming lessons and karate classes for obvious reasons) and the equipment is well maintained. I enjoy interacting with the staff as they are friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend that anyone considering a commitment of membership, take the time to try it at no cost for a week. You will not be disappointed. Give yourself a chance at good heath and to be a part of a genuine community. I highly recommend it. Update 4/20/2108 The experience I’ve had at this Y is no where near what a couple of the recent reviews from Josh Cheng and Sayanatan Sen have posted. I go to this facility nearly every day. There is a good mixture of people...young and old, men and women, etc. I wonder what alterior motives the two of the recent posts have, but one mentions Karma. I too believe in karma and don’t believe either two of these people carry the spirit of kindness and openness to others. One can only read their posts to feel and anger and aggression they carry to begin with. I have met Rex and Raven.They are really good people. I have not seen anything resembling what the two posters describe. Sad to see people carry their anger and bitterness into a wonderful place like this Y. Just my take.

Fantastic experience: Nice place, clean and everyone helpful

Fantastic experience: Love it

Fantastic experience: I used to go to this Y (Nortwest YMCA) and really enjoyed my experience. After a couple of years, I didn’t go and utilize the membership as much as I should. I let my membership lapse...until this year. I re-joined because I was in an accident and gained some weight. I am glad I did. I didn’t think my experience could be any better than it was. And...it has been. I love this Y. If you’re looking for a family environment and offers free classes...this is the one.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Northwest Y immediately after my retirement from a 40hr+ work week 4 years ago. It was a great way to ease into the transition from a demanding routine of work into a more relaxed routine of retirement. I could create workouts and activites at my own pace. The staff and members are so very friendly and all are eager to be part of your assist you with any of your needs.

Fantastic experience: The best place to go for exercise. Staff is great and clean good facilities. Group classes are always available and I have never struggled to get into any of the classes. Swimming classes for kids are great.

Fantastic experience: Love this NW Y in Cupertino. It is far more than a "gym" to workout in; it is a great community in the heart of Cupertino. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Love this place my baby girl really enjoy the swimming pool

Fantastic experience: The Y is great for so many reasons and the affordability for families is fantastic

Fantastic experience: Exercise class and make me healthier

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, it is always squeaky clean and the employees are kind and helpful. It's usually not super crowded. Take advantage of the free coffee (it's good!!)

Fantastic experience: I exercise here almost daily. I love my YMCA.
