Editorial Review for YMCA – by Whitney Friedlander

In Short
The first U.S. branch of the YMCA started in Boston in 1851; there are now more than 2,500 locations nationwide, making it the country's largest nonprofit community service program. Each YMCA reflects the community it's in, offering differing services based on the area. Most include fitness areas with aerobic equipment, classes and racquetball and tennis courts. Many also have day care and after-school programs, as well as summer day camps.

The Stonestown YMCA is on the small side, but still has a pretty good selection of equipment and machines. The upstairs room is great: rows of treadmills and ellipticals look out onto Eucalyptus Avenue, and there is a lot of room for situps/stretching. The downstairs weight room is kind of dark and depressing however, with no windows and out-of-date treadmills that face the wall (but bonus: there are TVs). The pool is nice but can get really crowded. The Y is definitely an unpretentious gym: the staff is friendly and the crowd is older. It's a well-priced, decent gym if you live in the area, but nothing extraordinary.

Pros: friendly environment, not usually crowded

Cons: out-of-date machinery, ambience lacking

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
