Santa Barbara Family YMCA

My daughter goes to Preschool at the YMCA and I feel like I won the lottery. She comes home signing new songs everyday, she learns valuable lessons while engaging with kids her own age, they support her potty training and just love her so much. She runs into school everyday! To know she is well cared for and loved while also learning and playing indoors and outdoors everyday is a true gift - oh, and it's affordable to boot!

I travel frequently from Washington state to Arizona along the coastline and visit many Y facilities. I love the sense of community at my home Y and find the same atmosphere here on my brief stay. You have a truly outstanding facility and your staff are awesome! Many thanks to your good work, kindness, and being an excellent example of YMCA values.

My 6 year old son was a part of the Summer 2019 Sports Camp. He loved his counselors and was sad to have the summer end. This program was amazing. He had a great time and I am very thankful for the time that he spent in their care.

A year ago I stepped into a gym and started focusing on my physical health for the first time. For someone who had no knowledge about working out, eating healthy, or how to use the equipment, I'm so glad that I started at the Y. I couldn't have asked for better trainers and staff to support me and my goals. My trainer Mike has done an incredible job at encouraging me to keep pushing my limits, and go for one more rep! Now my summer body is my all-year body ;) I've managed to break a lot of bad lifestyle habits by choosing to hit the gym and mix up my routines with all the group exercise classes they offer.

Thanks SB Y for helping me get my health back on track, and the confidence to keep striving!

We love the Y for so many reasons from awesome classes- their spin classes are fantastic along with their boot camp, circuit classes, and body pump. My kids love going to kids gym and have benefited from swim lessons, basketball, the holiday carnivals, and summer camps. More than activities I love that the Y is multi- generational and have connected with new friends of all ranges. They offer a stellar live strong program for cancer survivors and their families and sweet events like Daddy Daughter dances. I also love the ways they give back in scholarships to open opportunities for kids in need. Thanks SB YMCA for offering so many great things to our community.

I love this YMCA! It is better than any health club I've experienced. There are lots of machines of all types, an abundance of classes, basketball games, a pool, great locker rooms with showers and the ability to dry your hair and put on makeup, something for everyone. I see a lot of parents arriving with their kids, so they must accommodate them. And, last but not least, if you are so inclined, everyone is very friendly.

Great place for families. Kids Korner is a godsend for those with younger children and no other gym gives you 2 hours of care for the price. Equipment selection aimed towards the casual exerciser with many machines, only one rack, one bench and no deadlift area. The staff is generally pretty young and it's often difficult to get schedules and information, if you can get someone on the phone at all. If it wasn't for the kids, would probably use a more dedicated gym for the same price or less.

It's February 27 there is a new guy at the front desk he was talking to a young girl, he ignore me i get so piss off about this guy.

Overall I like the experience here. The gym is filled with people of all ages and types, and there are a lot of folks that say hi in the hallways. I use the bicycles and pool mostly. There are enough machines that I've always been able to find a bike, but the pool is often very crowded. It seems like they might benefit from an additional pool. I also love that they have a steam room and sauna! I would say for me it's been worth the cost.

I am frequently frustrated at the pool. There are people in the swim lanes that aren't swimming yet the lifeguard does nothing. The pool is frequently crowded, and it really isn't fair to have an individual monopolize a swim lane when they aren't swimming. Shouldn't the lifeguard be directing them to more appropriate areas of the pool for standing, jumping around or whatever it is they are doing besides swimming? I would ask that the lifeguards enforce the posted rules of the pool.

No one seems to clean. Steam & sauna are dirty. Hot tube area, are old bandaids. Not enough cleaning personal. No wifi!

Today was my first day and staff was very nice jacuzz was nice pool was nice too I had a great first time experience gracias

Loud and overcrowded
