McGrath Family YMCA - Spring Valley, California

This has been my home gym for about a year. Good equipment- you have pretty much everything you need here for strength training and cardio. The gym goers are nice and courageous. I don’t use the pool or take any classes, but it’s nice to have the option. Locker rooms are clean but you have to bring your own lock if you want to use the lockers. Overall, great gym for the price.

This is our favorite YMCA. I've been taking April's Wednesday zumba classes and I never knew working out could be so enjoyable. I look forward to this class all week.

The child watch here is also amazing. It's definitely our son's favorite child watch and he's smitten with Lily(spelling?) who is always so happy to see him. Thank you Lily and April! You guys make coming here every week a great experience for us.

I have brought my son here for swimming lessons 3 times so far, Saturdays in the morning. When I show up and have shown up a few mins late before (my fault) but when I ask anyone which class he's in and who his teacher is have gotten nothing but incredibly rude reactions and responses. No one has been helpful. Another mom had to let me know which class my son was in today because she saw how lost I was. I switch off every other weekend taking him here with his dad and it seems like every time it's a new teacher. Work on your organization and not being super rude when someone is clearly just asking for some guidance.

They let little kids run the various YMCAs all over San Diego including this location, The upper management needs to restructure these YMCAs there should always be one mature adult And then a worker no less than 25 years old The reason why I say that is because people 25 years old and older have experience obviously, when all of your facilities are run by 18-year-olds this is not a good idea because these 18-year-olds interfere with keeping your business flowing as in yes we are all turned off by the fact that you put 18-year-olds or possibly even younger in charge of the phone system and the front desk area.... We cannot get an adult to talk to to ask important questions to or for membership... You must understand your management must understand that; whoever it is that you put at the front lines so in case you don't know what front lines are that means the front desk area and then the phone system the people that you have working there that will pick up the phone... And attempt to help the person on the phone, record each and every one of your phone calls to see what it is that we are all experiencing, Make sure you put cameras in at your front desk area and fully completely record the interactions so you can comprehend what's going on, All the issues that you have, and FIX IT.

I been to alot of gyms and YMCA's . The staff here are so amazing and welcoming. This place you feel like home. It's nice to see the wellness coachs/personal trainers always on the floor cleaning equipment and always ready to help with a nice smile and helps keep you motivated. The class schedule they offer is amazing and the instructors are the best I ever have had. Never had problem with equipment top of the line love what the have to offer.The moment you step in to front desk makes me in a good mood front desk is awesome staff . The childcare center is amazing my children love it here and I feel so safe with them here.

The layout feels a bit cramped on the second level. Especially once the gym gets busy. The equipment is also heavily used and could use an update. It’s moderately clean but I don’t often see people cleaning up after themselves with the disinfectant and towels. There are plenty of stations posted around with towels and cleaner. I did see one of the trainers wiping down some of the machines, but people should really clean up after themselves. Gym etiquette and cleanliness is appreciated by everyone. Considering how busy it gets, members should be more mindful of sharing spaces. The crowds are definitely my biggest drawback to using this facility.

I absolutely love this YMCA location. It's only a mile from my house. The indoor pool and outdoor jacuzzi are awesome and relaxing. I'm an active senior and enjoy the AquaFit classes. The upstairs equipment area is fully stocked with excellent machines, weights, and class rooms. Just joined, and so far having a wonderful time here.
