Editorial Review for YMCA Embarcadero – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This place attracts a suit-and-tie crowd, but lacks the snobbery of other yuppie gyms. The cardio equipment is located in two adjoining rooms and includes 18 treadmills and 14 Netpulse Internet-equipped stationary bikes. Another big plus is the five-lane, 25-meter pool; one of the largest in the city. Most of the group exercise classes are free. Others, such as Pilates, cost a nominal fee.

I have been a member of the Embarcadero YMCA for many years now. I love how the gym is always clean and never too busy. The staff always are offering new free classes to take. I highly recommend this gym to anyone that likes to workout in a clean and safe place.
Pros: view of the bay, updated workout equipment, friendly staff
Cons: parking can be a issue

I love my lunchtime break at the Embarcadero Y. Weather permitting I run along the Embarcadero then return for some strength work and a shower before going back to my office - refreshed and ready for a productive afternoon. If I have to run on a treadmill - at least I have a spectacular view of the bay. The staff are great. I'm working with a personal trainer and finally making improvements in my time. I love that my dues support community programs - given the choice, I'd always choose a Y over another type of facility.
Pros: View, Equipment, Staff
Cons: Occassional Crowding
