In the past, I had always prepared my State and Federal Income taxes. As a member of AARP, I…read moredecided to use the San Francisco Senior Center to prepare my taxes last year. The staff are wonderful, I was introduced and all treated me just like an old friend. My taxes were prepared and was discussed with me I was treated like an old friend and not just a newbie. In addition, my taxes were completed timely, reviewed and I was really impressed by work ethics. This year, I intend to visit them again at tax time and spend some additional time there to get to know the staff. I was treated like an old friend. I do plan to visit the center this year other than for the tax assistance assistance provided, but to get to know the staff better.

I went in yesterday to join. I was greeted by a man who apparently serves as their receptionist. I…read moretold him that I'd come in to join and would first like to use the restroom. His response "THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC RESTROOM!" said in a very unpleasant tone of voice. This is how they treat strangers. For context: I'm a "woman of a certain age, wearing the usual San Francisco uniform of puffer coat, jeans and running shoes, and carrying a large leather tote. There was nothing threatening about me.

My family relies on this program for my grandmother because sometimes there are times when we can't…read morebe at home to feed her so for us to have this is a blessing. With all of us working, we need to have this because this place provides for older people different programs for them to enjoy, get out, and socialize. There are meal programs and of course, they provide medical attention when needed 24/7. On designated days, the On Lok vehicle comes to our house and picks her up. She gets to meet other people and make new friends, eat lunch, and play some activities. Then, they drop her off later at home. I highly recommend this place because it is very helpful and can keep you sane while trying to take care of a million other things and not have to worry about your loved ones because they are in the best care possible. The staff are very helpful and are happy to answer any questions you may have. It is a lengthy process to get into the program but it is well worth it if you have the time and are willing to do what's best for your family member.

I would like to inform everyone of the outstanding services I have received at the curry senior…read morecenter by my therapist, Diana Plitt. I have had therapy sessions with her over the last six months, during this period she has been working conscientiously. She was always thorough and she showed a lot of empathy. Specifically, on one occasion when I received two consecutive lease violation notices from my building management, which I perceived as laying the foundation for my eviction, I was going through a very bad anxiety which resulted in panic attacks. I contacted her and informed her of that. She acted very professionally and contacted me momentarily and talked to me and gave a bunch of advice for dealing with the dilemma which I found very helpful. Only then did I find out she really cares about her clients wellbeing. She also added that I could always contact her on the phone or through email if my condition worsens and she will do whatever it takes to get me through this. Her kindly and super nice disposition is very healing.

Last Saturday, I brought my 3 year old son into the women's locker room to use the bathroom…read more There's a vanity area where women get ready, however there was an older man just sitting there, watching the women get ready, completely naked. I went over to the front desk and told them there was a naked man in the women's locker room just sitting there, watching everyone and he responded that they are legally not allowed to remove him. Please educate me because this doesn't seem right. I told them I usually let my 11 year old daughter go to the bathroom herself and I don't feel like it's safe and yet, YMCA did nothing. I was at the YMCA because my daughter had a game. After her game, I checked the women's locker room (about an hour after I took my son to the bathroom) and the naked man was still there, sitting there and putting lotion on his body. This is not okay. Please be careful everyone, especially those with children.

Nice community gym with lots of cardio and weight lifting options as well as plenty of classes…read more The place is fairly small but makes good use of the space they have. I highly recommend getting signed up to use the EGym system that tracks your progress on many of the cardio and weight lifting machines on the second floor as it helps gamify the whole experience. The YMCA also uses an app where you can reserve a spot for the classes that are offered which I also recommend doing as many classes are popular and fill up. Changing rooms and bathrooms are kept very clean. Staff are generally helpful and the place welcomes people of all ages. Also with the YMCA membership you can go to other YMCA gym locations in the area which has been a convenient option for me as well. Overall definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a solid gym in the area.

Coming back to the YMCA years after the pandemic, I was hoping for a good experience. Today was not…read moreone. When I went to renew my membership, the older woman at the front desk misgendered me. I corrected her quickly and then she went on to ask me questions about transgender identity. Not quite sure that your workplace is the place to ask me for a free education, but whatever. She is new and obviously doesn't know what she's doing and at the end of our conversation when I'm about to pay she starts misgendering me again. This is when I walked away. Y'all are not getting my 99$ a month plus a 150$ return fee (they said they didn't have the capacity to reduce or cancel the start rate unless I came back to speak to a manager on Monday.) The dude training her at the front seat was like a post in the mud and did not move to correct her even when he saw I was uncomfortable, he just kept moving scissors and junk around in the front desk as he stood by. I'm not going to pay so much for a gym that hires people with the intellect and personalities of wet noodles. No thanks! Planet Fitness looks like the better option in terms of cost. It's really sad because the staff at the YMCA Embarcadero were really diverse and cool about 6 years ago, I hope that hasn't changed. Either way, y'all aren't getting my money and this was a tremendous flop.

I can't remember details other than the difference was negligible to do both and it made sense. I've gently eased myself getting back into working out. I used to train hard, 5+ days a week. Let's just say it's been a glacial progress getting back into a routine; I need to improve. Presidio YMCA is a great gym, not too crowded and it's clean.

The facility is quite clean and the service is fantastic. There is a gymnasium, group class sessions, bike room, and a stretching room.
