Palisades-Malibu YMCA is open and expanding hours for members.
The Palisades-Malibu YMCA has expanded its hours for members, making machines and weights available from 7 to 11 a.m. and from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Circling the News visited the gym on Friday and there were several clients working out with weights and on the aerobic machines. One has to fill out a waiver and be temperature checked when entering the facility at 821 Via da la Paz.
Palisades Y Executive Director James Kirtley said, “Thank you to all of those who have supported Your Palisades Y. I often refer to the Palisades YMCA as ‘Your Pali Y’ because it truly is the community’s Y.
“We recently received feedback on the hours of Your Y through a survey,” he wrote to CTN on May 14. “We did our due-diligence and from that information made the appropriate adjustments to our operating hours. Your Y will be open Monday-Friday from 7 to 11 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. Also, we are very grateful for the partnership with Palisades High School. I’m so excited for the Y to have the opportunity for Y’s members to swim again!”
There are lanes open for YMCA members on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, at either 5:45 or 6:45 a.m. in the small, warmer pool. If a member wants to swim (or take a fitness class in Simon Meadow), download the Y app and follow the instructions. If a member has a problem with the app, the helpful Y staff can assist at (310) 454-5591.
I went to the YMCA today. It felt wonderful to use the exercise equipment and thus give attention to muscles that my recent non-gym routine did not quite address.
Everything there is clean and very thoughtfully laid out. So great to see familiar faces both members and staff. There is even some new equipment. Support our Y by joining!
