Leg day with a view... This YMCA is incredible! The location is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but the amenities are all there. This Y is located directly across the street from the lovely, and heavily trafficked Pier 39. You can run on the treadmill, and watch the fog dissipate over the bridge and people watch as thousands of tourist make their way in and around the area. The equipment is well placed, the layout just makes sense. It's 3 floors in total, but you won't find yourself running around looking for a place to do core and yoga next to loud free weights, or dead lifters. I stayed for 2 hours and 30 mins, and anytime I was ready to transition to another area there was ample space and machines to use. ' The pool is very large, at the time there was a class doing laps with a life guard on duty. The sauna is also on that level, you can reach it through the lockers on each side. I didn't go in on this trip but it was also very large inside, and very clean. The entire gym was very clean, with all the equipment placed where it should be. The customer service at first was awful, when I walked in and told the rep at the desk it was my first time...he robotically said 1st floor this, 2nd floor that, and blahahahaahaha is all I heard. He never even looked up. So I went in a little bummed, but once I reached the second floor, I came across several more staff members who were very informative and actually seemed like they were there to help and answer questions. Pro tip: They have digital lockers! You don't need to bring a lock, just set a four digit code and the space is all yours. read more
