So happy we got to see the re-opened fitness center! They've truly got all the equipment you could…read moreneed, and the prices are quite reasonable for general workouts. And hey, two swimming pools - that's awesome! My only hang-up is the 14+ age limit for using the equipment. I'm really looking for a gym where my 10-year-old can join in (even if I'm right next to him). Maybe we'll be back to sign up when he's a little older!

I wish the hours would extend more, the gym does need to be updated. Most machines are really old.read more

The Y has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember - playing in their pools as a child,…read morethen getting my very first job ever at a local Y by my high school - worked as a lifeguard for the last 2 years of school - and as an adult trying to get fit again lol!! I've had memberships here off and on over the past 6 years - definitely my fave Y in the SGV!! Their pool is enormous!! I love to swim here - especially now with their new reservation system. They have 4 swim lanes available with room for 2 swimmers in each lane - and you make timed reservations via their app. Super easy to use and you can block out 30 minute increments as available in each lane with no limit to how long you want to swim. Upon check in, you'll receive a wristband with your times and lane numbers - so helpful in avoiding conflicts! This is far superior to their pre-pandemic process where lap swim was a free-for-all and insanely crowded - I couldn't ever get a lane which was one reason I stopped going. But that's all fixed now - I LOVE their new system! They also have a huge basketball gym, extensive weight room with nautilus machines and free weights, a ballroom/classroom, and a treadmill room that includes bikes, ellipticals and a stair master. They have weekly classes you can also sign up for - also very easy to do in their app. They don't have as many class offerings as they used to though - but I think they're all still trying to get things back up and running again from the pandemic. This location doesn't offer personal trainers yet - but I was told they will soon if there's enough interest. But your membership includes access to all the area YMCA locations and they offer PT services at the nearby Sierra Madre & South Pas locations. They have 3 locker rooms - one for men only, one for women only, and one for "families with small children". The one for families is limited to children under a certain age and nudity is forbidden. The other two include rules for children over a certain age (I think it was 12-13 but I can't remember) and nudity is allowed (showers and changing etc). The staff are all just awesome here - so helpful and friendly! Prices are very reasonable- especially compared to all the other gyms in the area - I've been shopping around for general gym services with a pool and personal trainer for several months now and the prices here beat all the others. They have tons of parking.

Came to the SA YMCA for their winter basketball league for my kiddos…read more The league itself practices in Wilson Middle School in Pasadena. This YMCA is located in Monrovia. Weird name and location spread out. The league itself was decent. For our age group, we ref ourselves and they do not keep score. Jerseys cost $10.

My two daughters started swim lessons with Dexter with very little experience and a lot of…read morenervousness around the water. Since working with her, their confidence has grown tremendously.. not only in the pool, but outside of it as well! Dexter has such a gentle, patient, and encouraging teaching style that immediately made my girls feel safe and comfortable. What once felt intimidating to them has become something they genuinely look forward to each week. Their skills have improved so much, but even more importantly, their love for swimming has blossomed! We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Dexter has had on both of our daughters. She has created a supportive environment where they feel confident, capable, and excited to learn. I highly recommend Dexter to any parent looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and wonderful swim instructor!

Most of the staff at this pool are friendly and professional, and we've generally had a good…read moreexperience--until today. My 10-year-old son is on the swim team. After team practice, he has a 30-minute dryland session, followed immediately by private swim training. For the past several weeks, he's been allowed to re-enter the pool area without waiting in the general line, which makes sense due to the tight timing. If we were warned that it was against the policy, we would have not done this. But today, a staff member named Sara (who did not give her last name) suddenly yelled at him as he walked in, insisting that he go back outside and wait in the long public line. We explained that his private training is only 30 minutes, and waiting 15+ minutes would waste half the session. We offered to follow the rule next time, saying we'd have a parent wait in line on his behalf--but she still refused and wouldn't make a one-time exception. What bothered me most was not just the rigid enforcement of a rule--but her attitude. As a city employee, Sara was harsh, dismissive, and showed zero empathy for a child trying to follow his training schedule. It felt unnecessarily personal, and frankly, we couldn't help but feel targeted--possibly because we're Chinese. In today's social climate, it's hard not to notice when someone goes out of their way to make life difficult for no good reason. We understand policies are in place for a reason. But government staff--especially those working with kids and families--should be trained to enforce them with basic courtesy and common sense. Yelling at a 10-year-old and refusing to understand and work with parents trying to cooperate is not how a public facility should treat its community.

I'm not sure why they let incompetent high school kids run the front desk, but no one ever knows…read morewhat the correct hours are for adult lap swimming.

We started swim classes in September of last year, but over the first several months there was…read moreminimal progress. Our child is particularly sensitive and anxious in the water, and likely needed a more tailored, confidence-based approach. We made an effort to encourage her to push through and stay consistent with the program. However, during that time her discomfort increased, and she became more resistant to participating in lessons--to the point where we were close to discontinuing classes altogether. We later had two or three makeup sessions with Stephanie, during which we observed clear and immediate improvement. After switching our regular schedule to a more suitable day for us and having Stephanie as the permanent instructor, the progress accelerated significantly. In less than a month, our child became noticeably more comfortable in the water. She no longer shows the same level of fear. This is not a reflection on the previous instructor's ability, but rather a difference in fit and teaching approach. The connection and method used by Stephanie have proven to be more effective for our child's needs. There was a recent comment from staff noting that our child does not meet Level 3 criteria. While we understand that evaluations follow established standards, our primary goal is water safety, confidence, and functional swimming ability. From that perspective, the progress made in the past month is substantial and meaningful, especially compared to the prior seven months, and it's largely thanks to Stephanie. Overall, we value the measurable improvement in our child's comfort and capability in the water.

We're so grateful for Instructor Stephanie! She is so patient with my son and made every lesson…read morefun and encouraging. Even with just 1x/week lessons, she helped him gain confidence in the water and become water safe so quickly.

Oh My God-- are you flippin kidding me?!! I have no idea who he had write his last review, but this…read moreguy is the worst contractor of ALL TIME!! My story starts in June of 2012... I was given Johns name from a friend of mine who was building a new home. I was looking for somebody who could rehab our pool-- it needed to be completely re-plastered, we needed new tile on the top, and we had a leak somewhere. John was apparently going to give my friend a great deal on her new pool, and she told me that even though she hadn't used him yet he seemed like a nice honest guy who would give me a great deal. Ummm... no. If you only read to here, you'll get the jist of this-- Original estimate = 8k, all paid in full more than 12k... a job that should have been finished in a week took 9 months. John doesn't actually do any of his own work, he's a professional quarterback-- he sub contracts out EVERYTHING after 9 months of construction, and over $3k worth of water bills from our pool still leaking we hired another company to clean up this guy's mess. What a joke. My friend ended up owing me a lifetime supply of vino, never hired him for the job, and yeah. I could rant about the awful service this guy gave for hours, and maybe if I get a few extra free minutes I'll edit this review to reflect just how awful the service was... until then, Yelpers, trust me-- I'm a vet-- I'd never steer you the wrong way. This guy is BAD NEWS!!! AVOID HIM AND HIS COMPANY AT ALL COST!
