Been a member of the Ventura Y for a few years and have enjoyed going here. They have a variety of machines to choose from, as well as classes, that can provide you with an efficient workout. There are also lots of programs/activities for kids and families to participate in throughout the year.Brian (membership director) and the rest of the staff at the welcome center are always friendly and are more than willing to interact with members.The overall environment and experience here has definitely made me enjoy being a member at the YMCA over any other place.

I grew up attending this Y as a kid (learned to swim at the Ventura Y). The Y has a great family-friendly atmosphere and has a variety of group ex classes, machines and programs for all ages. Excellent master’s swim program. The Y is very committed to helping the community.

Disappointing. They remove and replace equipment without notification or talking to members. I went to use a machine today , a machine that i have used eveyday after becoming a member and It was gone.....Kinda unprofessional for a gym. The Y is a solid family gym. But definitely cater to people that actually dont want to work out. I will be looking elsewhere.

I love this YMCA. The gym is well-equipped, they offer a fantastic number of group classes and its very near where I live. The only complaint I have is that I rarely feel welcomed when I initially check in. The woman at the front desk who I usually see is just not very friendly. I don't remember her name but she always has on very long glue on lashes and she has a cold demeanor. Other than her, I like it there.

Wonderful place to take children to workout with you. Staff greets you upon entry and are usually friendly. Their kids activities are usually good with decent instructors. I also love all the group classes that are available throughout the day. Facility is clean and kept up.However, I rate the Ventura YMCA with a 3 star, because their swim team is half par. Instructors just tell the kids what to do with very minimal direction and/or correction on technique. If you are looking to improve your child’s swimming technique for future competitions, this is not the place for it. However, if you want them conditioned, then yes take them here.I was hoping for more technical instructions for my son and have voiced my concerns on several occasions, especially since I have to pay for my son to be on the swim team. Yet, their has been minimal change. I guess I should not expect to much considering they hire young adults to instruct the kids, whom are probably just paid minimum wage.

I've been a member of the YMCA for more than 6 years. I joined when my first child was a few months old. The Y has been a God send for me. Children's Corner and the child care that comes with membership has allowed me to stay sane over the past few years as my (now 2) children were growing up from babies, to toddlers and now pre-school/school age. From programs like swimming lessons, dance (itty bitty ballet - so cute) and introduction to various sports as well as other programming during the holidays, the Ventura Family YMCA has been a rock in my family's schedule. The facilities are excellent and are always being improved and upgraded. From the Fitlinxx room to the free weight room, the various community rooms and gym, the outdoor court and the therapy and lap pool, the Y has it covered! Patrons of the Y range from the very young to the very mature and it truly is a 'family' YMCA.

Clean nice employees but i love the fact they accept vouchers for homeless or low income children. Ventura unified school district homeless laison gave all 5 of my kids a swimming pass during the summer a few years back and the kids loved it! If you are homeless or low income ask vusd laison for more info for your kids.😊. …
