Wonderful water classes, good programming for seniors, clen facility, very nice staff- what more do you want?
I would like to see the pool tiles be scrubbed aggressively.. as a frequent pool user, I notice the grey ( what looks like scum?) on all of the small blue tiles around the pools edge.. near the water line. Thank you!
I have really enjoyed the senior 55 programs organized by Mickey Joiner
I like to use the indoor track. I don't walk outside when it's too cold, too hot, rainy, too much pollen for my allergies, or if the air quality index is bad. Walking keeps my weight down, which therefore helps me keep my blood pressure down. Natalie Cato and Teresa Emerson are the best! They just helped me with two issues that I had because of my recent knee surgery. Please give both of them a raise.
The weight room and pool are great. Thanks.
Great equipment, both for strength training, and also for cardiovascular workouts! Friendly, outgoing, family, oriented membership
I only use group exercise. I’ve loved it over the years but the changes since the pandemic have been difficult - very unstable schedule and constant changes. I’d like to see body pump strength classes.
The staff is always so helpful and available.
It is an outstanding facility!!
I love the classes, and the work out room. with new equipment upstairs. One thing that I would like to stress...the "trainers" should not stay in their office/desk area but be circulating in the equipment room. Young boys in particular sit on a machine for 20 or 30 min sometimes scrolling and playing on their phone. I watched a man my age ask one of the high school age boys if he could use the equipment (when the highschooler had been chatting with friends on social media for a long time) and i watched the boy berate the man and become combative.
Where was the trainer?
They should circulate and instruct people to not stay on an apparatus if they are on their phone.
Gym and locker rooms are clean

very nie and friendly staff.
I like that you now have Pilates at night and also I'm able to take advantage of your Zumba gold class now which I enjoy. I also like the Saturday morning Zumba class with Lloyd. You have some great teachers in Lloyd, Sarah and Stacey.
I love my water aerobics instructor! I love the friendly atmosphere and the classes are great!
I confess that returning to the YMCA club brought us together again emotionally and mentally. Thank you very much.

I like the new weight machines
A very nice and well-maintained facility, very good selection of classes and excellent instructors.
I like that there are yoga classes offered daily.
The instructors are wonderful, the variety of classes is great and the new weight machines are much appreciated! I am grateful for the attention to seniors that the Y shows. It’s a great place!
I like the variety of classes and times of the classes. I do wish there were more classes on Friday nights and through the weekend but overall I a very happy!
New equipment, great and friendly staff plus a wide variety of programs for all interests!
I love the Cowart Y!
Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Natalie, Micki and James always are so eager to accommodate their members.
The pool is fabulous. I switched from the Buckhead Y to the Cowart Y because the pool reservation system along with free lanes makes it swimmer friendly. The Cowart Y is incredible!!!!
The wonderful staff is at the heart of the Cowart Y! The facility is great, always clean and well-staffed. I really appreciate that ALL ages are welcome at this Y. They have a well-rounded approach to the variety of classes & they now have brand new fitness equipment in the work-out area. I always feel safe at this Y - no matter what time it is. But it's the people that really make the COWART Y work for all of us!
The variety of classes and friendly instructors.
The variety of classes, the times they are offered & the friendly, knowledgeable instructors:)

YMCA at Ashford has plenty of great instructors, lot of choices to choose your workout and a clean and wonderful facility! Love it!
