Camarillo Family YMCA - Camarillo, California

I am a big fan of the Camarillo Family YMCA. Specifically, my children really enjoy the swimming programs as well as the basketball league. The new sports director, Bryn, is awesome! She has made an immediate impact. I really appreciate her communication skills and her ability to quickly make the basketball league more organized. She constantly seeks feedback and works diligently to implement improvements.

For example, the older leagues now have access to the Boys & Girls Club gym which provides a larger basketball court. This is great for player development and I'm sure was not an easy improvement to make. Also, the player skills assessments at the beginning of the season ran quite smoothly under Bryn's direction. There is also a summer basketball league option this year (for the first time I believe), which is an excellent, accessible opportunity for players to keep their skills sharp over the summer.

If you have children who may be interested in sports, I recommend giving the YMCA a try. I think your family will enjoy it!

The front doors and every other door in the facility is heavy and has no handicap assist. Other YMCA’s have handicapped assist buttons to let you get in the front door.

Response to the response. The doors are not “open during business hours” they are simply unlocked. They’re heavy and they close fast. I bet they’re not in compliance with 1133B.2 of the California Building Code. I have no way of measuring the opening force or speed. Why don’t you tell us what it is and when you measured it? Try and open the door yourself. Let me know if you think that takes 5 pounds of force or is it more like 25 pounds?

You make no mention of putting a handicap assist button on the door, like other YMCA, because you’re not going to do it. You don’t want to spend the money. That’s the reason. I continue to struggle with the door as do many other people.

Update: 9/13/24To their credit the ymca adjusted the door closers to make them easier to open the door and slower to close. Added one star back

My boys absolutely love the YMCA! They've been going to both childcare and summer camp for years, and they always have a blast with activities and counselors like Cameron and Sebastian. Adrian, the Director, is super friendly too, making it a great experience for our family. Definitely recommend it!

I recently contacted the YMCA and was fortunate to speak with Daniella over the phone. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and helpfulness. Daniella took the time to listen to my inquiries and provided me with detailed information regarding a schedule that would work best for my child's abilities.

What stood out to me the most was Daniella's patience and willingness to assist without making me feel rushed or pressured. Her knowledge of the programs and services offered by the YMCA was evident, and she went above and beyond to ensure that all my questions were answered satisfactorily.

I truly appreciate Daniella's exceptional customer service and the positive experience she provided during our conversation.

The friendliest staff & rpofessional trainers in a beautiful gym.
I enjoy the body pump classes, my husband swims in the outdoor pool & my son stays in shape in the weight / equipment rooms.
There's something for everybody at the Camarillo Y.
If you're looking for a gym you can feel comfortable in at any age, weight and your level of physicality.
Our family highly recommends the Camarillo YMCA.

We have terrible experience with the front desk. The front desk worker either not trained well or YMCA has terrible rules. My kid got a fever on the morning of the first day of swimming class. So I have asked the front desk to help out in moving the class for my kid to the next available since my kid will be sick for couple of days. I have not asked for a cancelation, but rather moving the class to a different time. They replied and said they cannot help! I hope somebody of the management can take responsibility and being accountable to take care of this. When I came first time to YMCA, they said they want everyone to use YMCA witnesses of access and love. However, I see the opposite. I see YMCA attention is collecting money and give their members a hard time of communication. I think this multinational club should not be running on this strategy encouraging people to leave the club.

This Y has a great number of Group X classes. All are taught by very professional instructors who care about their students. A great variety of classes for all abilities including senior citizen classes. They are always adding new classes. I go there 3 times a week, seems more and more people are attending classes as the parking lot gets fuller right before the hour. I highly recommend the Camarillo YMCA
