Yelp.com Review - by katherine b.

4.0 of 5 stars. A small, but good place to work out. No B.S, just exercising. The staff and people there are really friendly and nice. It doesn't feel all cramped up and stuffy like some other gyms... It's nice if…

Yelp.com Review - by kat n.

3.0 of 5 stars. Not into seeing your entire high school at the 24 on Ocean? Me neither. This Y is slightly weak but perfect for me because I just need the basics. If I'm going to the gym, it's strictly just to do…

Yelp.com Review - by nedina g.

4.0 of 5 stars. Although this one is pretty small, I still love it. It is only 2 blocks away and the workers are super nice. Plenty of old people though.

Yelp.com Review - by Marie B.

4.0 of 5 stars. The Richmond YMCA definitely feels like a community, or dare I say home. Being a Richmond district native, I went to the Y as a snotty nose little kid for year long preschool (don't think exists any…

Yelp.com Review - by shannon m.

3.0 of 5 stars. I do not like this gym. It's over-priced, crowded, small, too few machines, classes suck unless you're 85 years old (rock 'n' low anyone) and it is OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive for what you get. I cursed…

Yelp.com Review - by Zev K.

4.0 of 5 stars. My membership at Cole Valley expired, and although I went quite often, I'm getting a little too lazy for that commute. So, I signed up with the Y that's just a few blocks from home. Nothing too…

Yelp.com Review - by Nicola M.

2.0 of 5 stars. This was my first YMCA experience. It's cramped, a tad grimy and there aren't enough elliptical machines, so that people aggressively interrupt your workout to ask you if you signed up to use the…

Yelp.com Review - by coral c.

4.0 of 5 stars. I have belonged to several YMCA's in other cities over the years, and joining here was no different. I love the Y because I feel so much more comfy around a group of senior ciitzens than around power…

Yelp.com Review - by Stacy J.

3.0 of 5 stars. It's cheap, in the neighborhood, and the staff is super nice, and that's pretty much all it's got going for it. The combined cardio/weight machine room is pretty cramped and the free weight room is…

Yelp.com Review - by Cara C.

4.0 of 5 stars. The Y is good b/c it is inexpensive, low key, and for those in the Richmond, convenient. Biggest drawbacks: 1) the limited number of every type of cardio machine; and (2) the weight machines are in…

Yelp.com Review - by B.K. W.

4.0 of 5 stars. This was the first YMCA I joined in San Francisco, so it will always have a special place in my heart. It was walking distance from my old apartment, so I came here frequently. Now that I have a San…

2.0 of 5 stars. This place is a joke, but hey, it's cheap and the staff seem to be pretty friendly if somewhat clueless.

4.0 of 5 stars. I have decided to put some spice into my regular workout routine and take a class. My friend, Michelle, teaches Thursday night boot camp at this Y, and pulled some strings to get me in. Her class…

Yelp.com Review - by Emma K.

4.0 of 5 stars. My local gym! Doesn't seem to exist on Yelp yet, (unless I'm mistaken), and it's no big surprise seeing as the main constituent of patrons seem to be age 50 and over. My main reasons for having a…
