Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA

Fantastic experience: My how things have changed over the years. I remember coming here 20 years ago. Before the skate park/ramps, before the preschool, before the soccer fields and the south entrance/lot or before the north one's expansion. It was 2 indoor pools, 1 lap and 1 diving with a high dive and concrete locker rooms. I'd come back every few years and see a new building, a new feature until I started coming here for co-ed soccer, which is great fun. I'll always remember taking swimming lessons here and honestly will probably take my kids here. It's a staple in the entire North County Community and despite the fact it's a YMCA it's, clean, bright and exactly what a YMCA is supposed to be unlike what you heard from that awful song.

Fantastic experience: It was amazing. Especially Teenight. The staff was very friendly, and Teenight was a great start to a weekend, and a splash of bright color to a boring week!

Fantastic experience: I love the Y! It is a staple for our family. Childcare is FREE for up to two hours a day while you workout!! FREE!!! I feel beyond lucky to be a member.

Fantastic experience: Im a plus member and this is the best Ymca I've ever been to ;)

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Preschool, skate park, sports, swim lessons, dance, Adventure Clubs, gymnastics... what haven't we done here? The Y programs have shaped the lives and well being of my children & family.

Fantastic experience: My daughter went there for preschool and it turned out to be a great decision putting her there. The teachers there were outstanding and extremely nice. My daughter had Miss Michelle for her last teacher and she was very nice and my daughter life her a lot.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities; friendly, competent, helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Consistently over years has operated at the highest level of cleanliness, professionalism, and and has contributed mightily to the entire community. A true credit to this city. Thank you, Y!

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best YMCA’s in the US, the biggest one on the West Coast by far. The staff here is super nice and the facility is first rate. Probably one of the nicest places I have ever been as a gym and community center

Fantastic experience: My fiancé is a travel nurse so we’ve been to YMCAs all over the country. This is my favorite that I’ve been too. The child watch staff is amazing. The facility is clean. The swim coaches are very knowledgeable and teach well. Couldn’t give higher praise.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility. Friendly, helpful staff. Has everything you would want or need. Pools, basketball courts, multiple cardio/strength training rooms. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing swim / spa facility, probably the nicest pool in any YMCA anywhere. 12 or so lanes, no-wave gutters and plenty of deck space and also a kid play area. There are spas, saunas and spacious locker rooms. I am just visiting from San Jose but I hear the rest of the facility is topnotch. It's also right off the 5. You who live near here are so lucky.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for over 4 years now and can say that I cherish my time at the ymca. I get a great work out. The staff and instructors are nice and accommodating. I’ve read some negative reviews on here and can say that I’m saddened by them. Really if you are following the rules there is no reason for a bad review. Your workout is what you make of it. Life is so full of drama that I enjoy coming to the gym to work out and getting in a good sweat or a calming yoga/ stretch class. There can only be drama if you create it. So if you are reading this please give the ymca a chance. Really servicing that many people each day you aren’t going to please everyone. Fortunately, my experience has been life changing for me here. I thank all staff and instructors for the hard work and time that they give us.

Fantastic experience: Love swimming laps in their 11-lane pool. I avoid the busier times so getting a lane is not a problem. After laps, I enjoy a little time in the whirlpool and then the sauna. Thanks to the staff! Patrick Redmond of DRT Dynamic Resilience Training aka Red Mountain Evolved Pilates

Fantastic experience: HUGE YMCA. Skate park, pool, gyms, fields, great staff and comfortable seating. 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: We previously had a family membership for may years and enjoyed the facility and its various programs. Rejoined recently and have continued to find it a great experience.

Fantastic experience: I've been to gyms all over the world, and this is one of my absolute favourite places to work out. Down-to-earth, friendly staff, a mixture of people who train there and a decent array of equipment - all with zero pretension. Love it.

Fantastic experience: A great place to work all so

Fantastic experience: Very nice clean facility with great service!

Fantastic experience: I the pool there

Fantastic experience: Great ymca, not our normal one, but nice and spacious. Great pools, lots of lanes

Fantastic experience: Best deal in SoCal, a fantastic facility with epic equipment. A great family hangout, crowded at times but generally work-out accessible; soccer arenas and skate parks are insane. Bring a towel, wipe down your equipment.

Fantastic experience: A great Y. I walk here on Saturdays. the wife goes on Tuesday and Thursdays as well. Lots of machines pool, baseball fields jogging track and much more.

Fantastic experience: Theres something for everyone

Fantastic experience: I am so very satisfied with all that this YMCA offers! When my children were younger, they both attended the quality preschool program. They had good experiences with youth sports, as well. Now, we all enjoy the huge variety of classes and workout equipment for a fraction of the cost of a four-person membership elsewhere.! The atmosphere always has a positive vibe for us, and we are thankful for the gift of having such a great facility in our community!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. The pool is awesome for long swimming. Friendly and family friendly

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Huge YMCA with a small town atmosphere. I've lived in Encinitas 40 yrs and the Enc Y has had a big impact on my life.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, service, equipment , and value. I switched to the YMCA after a corporate gym continued to raise my dues each year, making it harder to afford. I started at the Y in Mission Valley, which was small, but still great, but after moving I found myself without a gym membership for some time. Eventually, I found Ecke Family YMCA and started going here. This is not the top of the line cutting edge gym, but I got a secret for you it's a heck of a lot better than the majority of corporate gyms out there and it costs much less as well. Newer and clean equipment make it an ideal environment for focusing on your health. An added bonus? Because the Y is family friendly, it is much less focused on the workout floor being a performance stage for the "Look at me" clientele who's workout grunts and yells can be heard for miles away from every corporate gym in America. So you like classes, let me tell you about classes! There are tons of classes at this Y, i'm not joking I have never been to a gym with the number of classes they have each hour, it's insane. I have only been going to the Ecke Family Y for a short period of time, but I am beyond impressed. If you are someone who is interested in getting your health and wellness on track at a place with a friendly staff, a clean environment, and at an affordable price. You have found your new gym.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful community & gorgeous facilities equipped with more amenities than any other Y in San Diego.

Fantastic experience: fantastic facilities, great staff. so lucky to have this in our neighborhood. great arena soccer for adults.
