The emphasis on fun instead of winning.
I like the varieties and levels of group programs, everyone can join one regardless of physical level.
Love the gentle yoga and the lap pool. Theses activities keep my arthritis in check!
Thank You for making YMCA sports inclusive and not focused on just winning...my daughter is playing volleyball and is loving it.
The yoga classes are very accessible and every instructor I’ve had has been helpful and friendly. The Child Watch team is amazing and my children love going.
They are cheaper than most other places
YMCA is a friendly, comfortable, clean, safe space for family activities. We love the Southwest Y because it is not too large and impersonal and always fun. Our daughter is really enjoying her second session of volleyball and we plan to continue!
Great programs for the whole family. AFFORDABLE! I wish there was a combat class on Wednesday mornings with Meghan!!
Coaches and referees are great to cheer on all the kids and teach good sportsmanship. Schedule is great.
Outdoor lap pool early in the morning is the best!

I love how many different classes you offer. I also love the instructors!
Love the AOA class and gentle yoga. There are plenty of elliptical machines, so I don't have to wait for one. It's always very clean. The front desk people are friendly and helpful. Really nice place to work out.
I have been participating in water aerobics about three days each week since the mid-1980’s, and doing so at the Y since early 2003. Although the quality of class leadership at the Y has declined precipitously since I first began participating there, and although I often find the indoor pool at at temperature much too warm ( e.g., 90-plus degrees Fahrenheit) for safe exercise, the pools and the classes are there (though, at least this week, not the class leader). I especially enjoy class sessions during the late spring, summer, and early fall, when we are in the outdoor pool under the beautiful oak trees. I also enjoy, when my health permits, walking the indoor track, though I remain concerned about the dangerous and careless behavior of Y staff and clients when crossing the track and the disrespect for track users shown by other users and people watching volleyball games. I also very much appreciate the improvements to the showers in the men’s locker room during the past several months, though it took too long to get the improvements installed. And your lifeguards and front desk staff are great!
Diversity of people: all ages, ethnic backgrounds, abilities. Wide range of activities; everyone should be able to find something to help them get moving.

The instructor was great. He was very accommodating for our son, who was a bit intimidated.
