One of the first things I did when I moved to SLO was join the SLO YMCA. And I'm so grateful I did because it has been such a wonderful experience and a nice community of people. The gym itself is very clean and the equipment is modern and always well maintained. They offer a wide variety of classes at convenient times. And the kids who attend the daycare always seem to be happy to go in and they look like they are having a great time! The staff is really what makes the Y such a positive experience. They always greet you with a smile - even if it's 6am in the morning (Jim is the best!) and they are there to help with anything you may need. It's a comfortable and safe space for people of all levels of fitness. If you are looking for a great gym, I highly recommend the SLO YMCA.
