I like the EGYM system because it is faster and easier than any other strength training system I have ever used. I like the Walzem YMCA because the atmosphere is very friendly and comfortable, more so than other gyms I have used.
I love the foreverwell classes!
They give you cardio, strength and balance while always paying attention to our foreverwell bodies! They have great instructors and music!
Size of the workout floor, variety of equipment, classes, and price.
I enjoy the variety of classes that are offered. Zumba, yoga, Pilates and spin. The instructors are great and very motivating.
I really like how friendly and welcoming the staff is at the Y.
Pools and adjacent areas are clean and well maintained. Really appreciate not having to reserve a lane and participants are friendly, respectful and always willing to share lanes.
Lifeguards are attentive and observant without being overly intrusive/corrective with kids being kids.
Child care is incredibly helpful. The overall energy and organization of DR Semmes is superb. We love everything.
Yoga and stretch classes. Wish there were more - especially stretch and restore with Pi
I love the friendly atmosphere and the classes that have become family 🩷 It’s always clean and they have every piece of equipment I could ever need.
Lots of family options and parent+child activities for special events (Father's Day, Mother's Day, etc).
I like the early morning group workouts-its the only time I have to workout.
Josie, Lauren and Leonard are great- wish they had more morning classes and variety
They have such a great variety of classes to join and try out! I’m still exploring them , I love that they’re geared for us older people as well. I was skeptical about trying classes, but it’s been so much fun!! I love all the enthusiasm that the teachers provide! They make it so much fun!!
I’m always impressed and feel so encouraged by these teachers! Big thank you to all the teachers and staff for all your kindness and dedication!!

Zumba!! Especially Dawn’s classes.
The friendliness of the staff. The cleanliness of the facility. The availability of equipment. All great.
The staff! GREAT bunch of folks 👌
I like how simple the setup is at the workout space. I go every morning and sometimes in the afternoon with my son. It's so nice every time. My wife attends the classes and I've heard nothing but glowing reviews from her. We have already recommended this to all of our neighbors and friends to join this specific location!
It is clean, in good repair, and courteous workers.
I primarily use the weight machines and love that you have a wide variety of machines. The entire area is well-lit and clean. Staff is always available and locker rooms are bright and clean as well.
The YMCA at OP Schnabel is always welcoming and the staff are so helpful!

The wide variety available as well as time slots for group exercise classes. Having Pilates Reformer is a major plus! I'd love if space was available to incorporate chair classes for Pilates. The staff and instructors are amazing!
