They go beyond the beyond to live up to hospitality. Don't know all the names but John (membership) who makes everyone feel like an ole friend, Ben who makes it happen, Mauricio in his break there to help. At the pool Duane always with a howdy and an ever watchful eye And Anna and the front desk YES Thanks all for your warm welcome. The facility and offering speak for themselves.

Love the cito YMCA. I’ve been working out here for years. Great staff! Small gym vibe which has everything thing you need. Outdoor pool with good hours also a plus.

I recently joined the Y and so glad I did! Since COVID, I haven't frequented a gym in over 2 years! The first time I came here, I was greeted by the front desk workers and allowed to tour the facility on my own. I went straight to the outdoor pool which was terrific and had 5 lanes for laps. I was so excited to check out the outdoor pool as I have always enjoyed swimming. It's very clean and organized with a lifeguard on duty at all times. There is access to a women's locker room that includes showers, sauna and lockers. There is even a couple blow dryers available for your hair when your getting ready. Oh and one of those machines that spins all the water out of your suit so I'm not carrying around a heavy wet suit is handy too! Bring your own lock so you can feel safe leaving all your valuables while you do your exercising. This place seems very safe and it seems like everyone knows everyone! Since my first day, I've been greeted by familiar faces from employees to the members. I have participated in weekly water aerobics and a yoga class with Katie which I enjoyed very much. It's a very relaxed environment and most recently they have added new classes that are dance based as well as roller skating events. It's really nice that some classes are indoors and some outside depending on the class. It's really nice when I hear " Hi Katherine " at a gym rather than just being another person in a overcrowded gym. They are only Mon-Sat at the moment but hopefully as the Y builds up it's members and staff, they will open up again on Sundays as well. Lastly my membership fee goes towards promoting health and exercise opportunities for children and their families so well worth the investment in my own health as well as others!

I love the Montecito Y outdoor pool and have been a member for six years. However, I'd like to point out that the Aqua Fit classes since the exit of instructors Kristy and Debbie have been a huge disappointment. The daily classes have been slashed to just three morning classes per week (hope you don't want to exercise in the afternoon). Also, these one hour classes have been reduced to just 45 minutes and members must arrive 45 minutes early just to get a spot, plus stand around in two confusing lines (am I in the deep water line? the shallow water line? did anyone explain this upon check-in? Answer, no!) before the pool gates are opened just seconds before classes begin. Once class is over, the rude lifeguard snarls at people to get out of the pool because he has to get ready for the lap swimmers. Now, I understand the world has changed since Covid, but there is no need for rudeness. How about implementing a system where you reserve the class online the night before, so people don't waste time standing in lines or driving to Montecito, only to discover that the class is full?

The staff are very friendly and good atmosphere gym. There is a child care room with very kindly staff, and their personal trainers are super helpful. They offer many great classes with great instructors. My favorites are yoga and totally body conditioning. I highly recommend this gym for all ages.

While I have visited many YMCA's, this location stands out in particular because of the sense of community that is created. The gym is never overcrowded and the staff make an effort to build a personal relationship with each member. This is a great place for people of all fitness levels - members have access to group exercises classes for all levels, three free personal training sessions, affordable child care, and the opportunity to make a difference in the community.

As always I love coming to the Y for my daily workouts. The members are the best as is the facility. One of the best options about the Montecito Y is the outdoor pool, awesome. Thanks as always.
