Embarcadero YMCA

The Embarcadero Y staff are the best! They really care about their members. It's also a great gym, complete with a beautiful pool and full court basketball, and with the recent renovations the workout floor is beautiful!

Terrible.... fecies in the hot tub, condoms in the showers, and theft...Public shower for homeless, who sleep on the rooftop during the day and harass people just outside. For the price that you pay here, there are way more upscale gyms. Staff here is rude, and really dont care about what goes on. I stopped going and decided to just donate.

If you want value, A beautiful view, and a staff that feels like a family, this is the gym for you.

I have been a member her for a year and I love it. The view of the bay from the treadmill is unparallel. The pricing is quite competitive and the staff is the best of any gym I have ever seen. Thanks for making it a great place everyday

Had a wonderful experience there, the place saved me. Had an evening flight and needed a shower - was offered to join 3 day trail and i enjoyed sauna, hot shower and towel, parking was close and easy. Would go to swim at the nice indoor pool if i had time. these people are real lifesavers

Increasing my review a star due to the recent renovations in the locker room. The staff is super friendly, consistent, so that's appreciated. BUT, for what we're paying in monthly dues, each, there should NEVER be a lack of tissues in the locker rooms--they're empty at least twice a week, and it's just silly that they can't seem to keep them stocked. Annoying.

If you can get past the smell of rotting organic material by the front door, you'll have a good time.Seriously, what the hell is the smell along this street? It makes you want to vomit. I get that the YMCA can't do anything about the smell, or maybe they can, but it makes this location less than ideal.Anyway, on to the stuff you care about - the gym was recently (2018) refinished and they have the layout in a lot better situation. I like it a lot and as of Jan 2019 it's not too overcrowded. They have a lot of machines available and they expanded their free weights.The pool is nice - it' on the second floor literally above a Japanese restaurant. It's on the small side, I think 5 or 6 lanes total. You'll feel the hot dense chlorinated air as you walk upstairs to the changing rooms. Ventilation could be a bit better.Staff are nice and it's a great place to get a membership.

Gym has scenic views of Bay bridge. The steam room and dry sauna room is well maintained. The pool gets crowded during evenings.

Great gym! Opens early and perfect location

I love working out in a safe and clean environment. The staff and trainers are excellent in their craft. My Aqua Aerobics teacher (Mary) is truly awesome! SeeYa There! The YMCA Embarcadero!
