YMCA of Pomona Valley

It’s overpriced and the gym is very small I do like that they offer zumba for kids other than that I rather go to my local gym for $ 10 a month

First off, I realize the YMCA is non profit so they’re resources are understandably scarce. With that said, the facility is simply not worth the exorbitant cost. Starting in 2016, they raised their monthly adult rate from $ 30 to $ 35. There are several state-​of-​the-​art gyms in the general area that are 10 times larger asking $ 10 — $ 20 per month. The Y’s exercise equipment is new and very nice but it only fills half the small space they now occupy. They don’t keep the showers or locker rooms very clean either.
They were originally in the historic building on Garey and Monterey but had no choice but to move to a new location on Holt near Indian Hill because that old structure was falling apart and became an insurance risk as well as an enormous fixer upper.
I was a member there for 12 years but could no longer justify the high fees for such a tiny facility. I wish them luck.

Overall the YMCA in Pomona is a wonderful place for youngsters to learn to swim, for everyone to get fit in a gym setting (kind of small… not too much equipment and not high tech as 24 hr fitness) and they have wonderful classes for older and younger alike. They will even give you a discounted rate if you are under hardships. I am one of those and I received 20 percent off 30 dollars and 20 percent off the joining fee of 50 which they break up 3 times to make it easier for all of us.
The staff is very helpful and kind. The instructors are as well and they like to get to know you and work with you. If you are a beginner, like me, they will modify the positions or workout so that you will be able to do it and not be overworked.
They have a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. Lockers, showers, and changing rooms. There is also a lifeguard which many gyms don’t have. Make sure you bring your own towels and sweat rags.
The YMCA isn’t fancy but it has a lot to offer for the price. And you can be sure to workout every muscle group and there’s cardio equipment as well. Around 5 it gets a little packed but I usually use the pool, jacuzzi, sauna, or steamroom to feel refreshed. These things are rarely offered especially at a price of 30 bucks!
I haven’t had the opportunity yet but you also get a few visits with a trainer so that you can build a routine for what you want to work on and achieve. You will also learn how to use the equipment correctly which is key when you are working so hard. If you aren’t doing it right then u are just wasting effort.
The only other negative for me is that they close at 9 mon thru Fri and 5 sat and sun. I like the 24 hour thing but I understand the y isn’t 24 hour fitness money making machine. It’s for the community.
Help Pomona ‘s community and join the Y. You and the Village People will be happy you did it! Give yourself the gift of health and if you are like me and need to shed pounds as well… you will be bringing sexy back, Ya! Just like Justin Timberlake! And who doesn’t wanna bring back the sexy!
Oh! And if u have children I believe they have a form of daycare but don’t quote me on that cuz I do not have kids.
Ps…I totally forgot to mention all the different classes they have available! From yoga and pilates to kickboxing, cycling, zumba and step aerobics to even kids zumba and kids aerobics to silver sneakers which can be free thru your health plan (this is for the old foggies… just kidding! My dad’s retired it was a pun at him. They also have water aerobics for less punishment on the joints. There’s also a buttstock and gutts class I’ve been wanting to try.
There’s a lot to do so whenever you have free time something is always happening!
The reason I gave the Y 4 stars was mainly because I got a little spoiled at another gym that was state of the art and new but they had very difficult classes and they didn’t really give newbies any love. It was all about pay for a trainer and pay for this and pay for that and you will get nothing but love and support and help from the Y. Very friendly people AZ well.
If you speak Spanish I doubt you are reading this but some instructors speak espanol as well as english. There are many Hispanics that are at the y so please don’t feel ashamed or helpless. And you will meet lots of ppl you can speak to! Nice people!
If you read all of this I salute you. Don’t forget your swimsuit, towels, flip flops, lock for your locker, water and red bull! You will have a great time and look damn good too! Everyone feels great after working out! Thank you endorphins!
