The staff here is awesome -- so nice. And the gym is in great shape. Wonderful place. Day passes are $20, but that's better than other gyms in the area.

Excellent facility. Open windows for fresh air, really clean, friendly helpful staff. Sauna is really hot.

The elliptical, jogging and bike machines are positioned in front of open windows with a view of the Embarcadero, San Francisco Bay to Oakland Port and Ferry crossings. All with perhaps the cleanest "GOOD AIR QUALITY" city in the USA. The entire facility is open and Airy. Personal training sessions available and I find staff fully competent and pleasant. Entry comes with a complimentary towel which of course is left at the facility. The price is perhaps what makes this the best FITNESS deal available anywhere in this industry. Thank you YMCA YOU GET 4.7 Stars. If I could get my own lane anytime at pool that would get you 5.

Love love love this Y. Clean, beautiful facilities, super friendly and helpful employees, no attitude from anyone, great equipment, nice classes. In addition to the pool there’s a jacuzzi, steam room, and dry sauna. Wish the pool and stretching area was bigger but you can’t have it all!

Recently, I found myself stranded in San Francisco, and the Embarcadero YMCA has been a lifesaver. The staff, especially manager Zach, were incredible—he provided me a lock when I was having a really rough day. Karina and Viviana helped me get a discounted rate due to employment loss and made joining simple even though I'm from Canada. The facilities are outstanding, with beautiful views, top-notch equipment, and included towel service. Although the trial period is only one day, it's enough to see the value here. I highly recommend supporting this YMCA; they rely on memberships and donations and truly make a difference. Help however you can—they deserve the support. Thank you guys!
