Member Testimonials
I like the friendly atmosphere at the Cowart Y. It's not uptight. Very casual. I love the pool and swim around 3 times a week.
Staff is great.
My only complaint is the women's locker room. The refresh was needed. However, the locker situation is truly sad. There is no privacy to be had. The original setup with the lockers in a row at least afforded a place to be hidden from the door. As it is now, there is ALOT of wasted space and the 'open' format doesn't please anyone. We all wish the layout was back the way it used to be.
I've only been there two times for a water exercise class. The instructors were kind enough to explain where the dressing rooms, showers, bathrooms, are. It would have been nice to have had a tour of where things are. I still have no idea where all the other classes are to be found.
The gym area is the best in the area. They do a great job keeping it clean organized and cardio equipment is always working.
Great variety and time options for programs. Skilled instructors for programs targeted to various age groups and capacity levels.
I primarily use the gym equipment for my workout at the Y. I like the fact that the Y is kept clean with good shower facilities, and the equipment is kept current and in good working order. What makes the big difference about the Cowart Y is the staff. They are outstanding, friendly and helpful! Matt, Quintin, and Micki bring a smile to my face every day I see them.
The facilities are always in great condition. The staff is always friendly. The group exercise leaders are awesome especially - Rebecca, Jae, Ana P, and Jacqueline.
Children programs
Variety and frequency of classes; availability of equipment and staff.
I like your walking track
Sara's pilates class is the best.
The pool is good, most of the time.
The equipment is good and the instructors are excellent...
Great instructors, good class options, clean facility, friendly staff
The team leaders are very dedicated and really care for members. Panna and I look forward for sessions very eagerly.
The people who work there are so friendly! I love my instructor, Miki, so much. Her classes are so fun, hard and challenging. The people in the classes are friendly too.
I also love the equipment & the weights. For the most part, everything is really clean and well taken care of. A few pieces of the machines could probably use some repair on the cushions, but that is literally the only thing I've noticed since I re-joined.
I'm so happy there and would and do, give it 10 stars!
This is the best Y in the area with activities from the very young to the elderly. Would recommend highly
I really like the classes for seniors. I applaud Miki and all she does at the Y. I also like Stacey -instructor for zumba gold - very much.
The Zumba gold class taught by Stacey Norwood is fun and exhilarating . She is a wonderful teacher!
Recently I've been doing mostly Norma's yoga class, which I really like. I also appreciate the community work the Y does, such as scholarships for summer camp.
Family friendly environment, expansive group exercise options. Clean facility. Enjoy being here!
The friendly staff and warm atmosphere.
I like the selection of classes. I wish I would use the whirlpool jet more, but glad it is there. Facilities are always clean and well-kept.
One thing I do wish YMCA had was a sauna - not just a steam room.
Thanks!
Great place and friendly staff! Baby activities to choose from!

Music can be piercing in some of the classes but other than that, wonderful atmosphere. Cowart is so welcoming!
The facilities are high quality and the staff kind and community oriented.
Good equipment. Friendly people and hygienic pool
I love so many of the group exercise classes. Miki, Helen, Glen and Christina are my favorite instructors. So friendly, fun, engaging, welcoming, and they know how to keep the classes interesting each time.

So far I’m only taking yoga, but I enjoy the classes very much. The teachers are excellent and the other folks in the classes are friendly and welcoming. The staff members are also very welcoming and helpful.
