The daycare is far and away the best thing about this facility and the best gym daycare in Camarillo. If you have spent anytime researching this, you have to agree! Other gyms just sit your kids in a dark room with a giant TV. Not at the Camarillo Y!! There s a great playground outside for exercise, and indoors there s great toys and staff is hands-on with crafts and games and puzzles. Is the gym facility small? Yes. But does it get the job done? Yes, and really a great workout is up to YOU. The HIIT classes with Shannon and Paula are killer. The Zumba gals have a swinging time. Body Pump, Yoga, Kickboxing and other classes are always a great workout and fun time. All other staff is friendly and they really try to honor any comment cards or feedback that members suggest. The kids programs and sports are laid back and I love that the goal is good sportsmanship, skills development, and team work (instead of other intense league sports where kids are pressured into thinking winning is the only thing that matters). As you can tell our little family has been happy here at the Y over the last few years, and while we ve been tempted to join more sophisticated high-end gyms many times, we ve chosen to stay at the ymca because of the daycare and the comfortable cozy homey vibe. :)
