YMCA of Silicon Valley YFit Reviews

So bad. Won’t work at all on my SE IPhone. The rest of this critique is from IPad. ** Not a user friendly app. First off I was annoyed that I had to have an account. I didn’t on web version. Why couldn’t we enter our member number like the libraries let you in entering our library number. But, OK. But when I tried to create account, I found the stated requirement for password does not match what is actually required. It says password must be 8 characters, contain an alphabetic, plus either a number or symbol. I entered nine characters, alphabetic and numeric, but that failed. I entered a capital alphabetic character, a number, and a symbol, which worked. So what are the rules? Next, trying to find a swimming appointment was not simple. Instead of having an expand/collapse choice for each date, one has to page and page and page down to find date through all the lists of slots. PLUS, it does not show full classes on first page like the web version does . So you have to go into each entry to find class closed, and then return. There should also be a choice to search on a particular date or a particular Y and a date and Y. I was hoping YMCAofSiliconValleyYFit was better than web version, but it is not. Phooey!

Privacy invasive. Tracks your location when not using YMCAofSiliconValleyYFit .

Buggy.
The “full” tag is missing on some full classes.

Current behavior:
On the class search results page, there is no tag for “full” on all full classes.

Expected behavior:
If a class is full, on the class search results page the “full” tag is displayed.

Steps to reproduce:
Select “find a class”.
Filter for Sequoia YMCA and lap swim.
Note that none of the search results have the”full” tag applied, though each class is full.

Buggy.
Not possible to book circuit training class.

Does not follow standard app design conventions! Requires multiple steps to set up logins for Classes at your location. Then after filling out name, address, etc. you get and error.

YMCA… Please hire a new web master to fix this.

Why does it take me back to the webpage to register for classes? And then has to make me sign in AGAIN to get to the webpage?? Please work on this a little more.

Since the Apple Watch update my info hasn’t been synching properly. It doesn’t record any exercise from my Apple Watch, then when I manually enter an workout, it doubles or triples the workout time on my Apple Watch.

YMCAofSiliconValleyYFit works well with Precor and Strava. The interface to eGym is weird. It says open on App Store and it’s not clear if it’s tracking or not.

I use Apple Watch to track classes like Pilates as well as for swimming - it even knows what stroke you do. So it would be much more useful if it tracked using the Apple Watch or maybe synced with Apple Health on an iPhone - but then you’d have to be careful not to get duplicate readings.

The colors and artwork could be better.

I use this ap for my elliptical workouts. It’s convenient to be able to record data by taking a photo of the workout summary.

I would really like a way to see my bookings on the calendar. The green booking button disappears after you leave that day and if you forget to ‘add to calendar’ you do not see your booking unless you open the event itself.
Would be nice to have a full calendar that shows your bookings

I love everything about the new app. I wonder if I can integrate with weight watchers. Please add pool schedules for lap swim.

I find YMCAofSiliconValleyYFit very helpful in looking for different classes. I can locate and get the experience level for classes.

Staff are very friendly and they keep everything in pristine condition. Bathrooms are clean, workout areas are clean, and basketball courts are very nice.

Really like the apps communication that I can check to see if classes are cancelled. It integrates my exercise classes and FitBit data.

Thanks for doing an app. I love having classes in one easy to find digital place.

YMCAofSiliconValleyYFit is amazing. Keeps track of almost all of my exercise including egym, and gathering information from my Apple Watch. I can now see how much total exercise I get every day.

It is already helping me get healthier as I set a goal fir working out and I'm working to meet it.

I use YMCAofSiliconValleyYFit regularly to book classes. It works well!

YMCAofSiliconValleyYFit is super easy to use. I love keeping track of my fitness.

I use YMCA app before, because it use it when I go to the gym and at my house!

Easy to navigate and very informative!!
