I hate to leave a bad review because the Y was always a great place for kids’ activities…but the gymnastics program for girls is just awful. I enrolled both my girls (5 & 6) in beginner’s gymnastics. There are 8+ girls in every class with one instructor. The majority of the time the girls have absolutely zero instruction and just play around on the bars waiting for their turn that never comes. Half the time the instructor was looking around the gym not even interacting with the girls. The cost comes out to roughly $33/session per kid for them to just stretch and then learn nothing. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Terrible management and communication. Holding onto over 400.00 with no idea how to refund or even an attempt. Avoid it’s now
Over crowded. Any issues they will hold onto your money

This place is a rip off. They charged me for an extra month because I cancelled my membership 3 days before the next cycle instead of 5 days. I called probably 5 times in two weeks to cancel my membership and nobody answered not to mention they have no way to cancel membership on their website. This place is a rip off and unethical.

Friendly staff and very nice facilities. I use the pool and the gym, mostly early in the morning but sometimes on Saturdays as well. The gym equipment is new and everything is kept clean. I also have a 24HR Fitness membership, but I started using the gym here because it's much less crowded, so I can actually get a workout in. The pool is way better than any of the 24HR fitness pools. Plus a membership here gets you a membership to all the Y's in San Diego County, which is great for adjusting your workout schedule. On another note, this facility received a lot of flak for the locker room incident, but that is in no way their fault as they are doing their best to be inclusive of an evolving society. They are in no position to place judgement on an individual because of their personal choices, and simply became the "whipping boy" of a society that could use a little more compassion and a lot less criticism.

Thank you for my membership that doesn't deserve me as I do not show it love for it's worthiness in use. I have not been able to get to the gym or gymnastics since I have been ill due to a "Steady Gas Leak" SDGE called it- once leaving my home that killed my service animal ANGEL- toy poodle/ therapy love of my life. I am posting a 5 review for the Gymnastics open gym with ADULTS SUNDAYS... will this be happening still? The break for covid must have happened and over, but I am super grateful as my daughter was able to excel in her Volleyball sports with YMCA and gain confidence with the other through exploring gym and fitness classes. My daughters both were able to perform better in school and sports due to the peers that helped and coached. We felt safe with the peers and saw the maturity level almost equal sometimes for the replacements that happened on time and quickly. Thank you for my daughters gymnastic lessons and performance that has turned skiing into one of her greatest strengths, natural at dancing and rhythm, also such a strong swimmer- also YMCA courses and guided by family as all of us shoveled them in and also were able to do laps in the covered indoor sections at other gyms. This gym has a play area in the pool or did before and we were unable to attend as gymnastics was in the winter and fall months and they will love the idea as the eldest has her license to drive soon! Grateful but almost dropped the 3 star review for honesty as the gym was above me on the single tall beam and there was a man staring at my behind in the video we captured there. Yikes. He was on the top floor and my daughter was filming. There is also a day for the kids at open gym, but she was old enough to join us there so I was actually ready to leave and that was our last visit there since. Thank you! Sports continue, and after gas leak I am thin enough to spin on the bars, and we will look out better next time with a better announcement. It's on my insta online somewhere, and I will post it here if I run into it for you. It was silly but could be dangerous too. Thank you for taking this into your office for consideration of a wall or other entertainment than watching us - actually nice for the mothers and dads supervising, but they can also sit in if they need to. Thank you again. (To recap it was Adult Open Gym and do not know if this gym is open during baby hours) Love and peace- hair grease but not at the gym... head band Nike said to do it so we did and they make nice headbands... YMCA gear is awesome... share it lol love

Expect to come in at least an hour early to get a spot for the kids pool. The capacity gets reached real quick and then you have to sit around for 1-2 hours for the next session
