Member Testimonials
I love the YMCA....... Great place to stay in shape and connected with others who are likeminded.
Gingers water class
Always super clean friendly staff
Friendly staff, clean facilities, newer equipment, central location!
Many classes to choose from at opportune times in the day. Instructors are friendly, welcoming, and attentive, always asking how everyone is doing and keeping a vigilant eye on the participants. I’ve enjoyed each class I’ve attended.
Pool
Do NOT like that women have no whirlpool.... totally unfair ...men do.
I love having the outdoor pool open for lap swimming in the early morning hours (6-9 am).
I love the MWF Aquatics class at 11. I have made many friends there and I enjoy swimming laps before my class. Everyone is very friendly, including the YMCA crew!
Great activities for Seniors!!!
For me, I like that I can walk in at different times based on my work schedule, and can find the machines that I like to use, available. My granddaughters enjoy playing on the basketball team. Their coaches are very good.
Treadmills, weights, pool
variety and lunch time offerings
Big building - lots of things to do.
I would like to have a punch card system for PIT classes. The monthly subscription does not work for us. We are gone too often, sick kids, etc. and paying a monthly fee for the PIT doesn't make sense for us if we can't make it often enough. We would likely sign up for PIT classes again if there was a system where we could pay per use, not by the month.
Thank you. We love the Y!
Very professional! Very well run. Fun too!
Pool and aquatics program
Love the pool water aerobics.
Pickel ball
I like all the programs the Y offers; all its facilities are great; and most of all, all of their staff are wonderful - cheerful, willing to help, and listen to your concerns.
Being a member of the YMCA is like being part of a big family. I have been a member for about 30 years and over that time have belonged to other programs (yoga, circuit type place) but always maintain my time at the Y. A variety of classes are always offered and the instructors I have had are top notch (especially the personal trainers). I can choose from all kinds of cardio equipment and have choices when it comes to rooms to do my stretches. The number of classes offered each day is great.
What I really appreciate is the mission of the YMCA. It is a place that cares about others and its community. I think that is why it has persevered over the years.
We’ll organize
WE have been going to the Hixson YMCA for 20+ years. And we are there 4-5 days a week. My wife would like more classes there. we do go downtown to do spin classes since there is not a class or a good room to do spin in. But we have had multiple family/people join in the last 20 years
The warm welcome the staff extend upon arrival is worth the membership. It’s a very friendly and very professional operation
The downtown YMCA has ample pool space to accommodate serious lap swimmers and pool activities such as exercise classes and free style swimmers as well. I had been using another site but once we tried downtown we were much happier.
I have grandchildren who love to splash and play in the pool. I find the lifeguards are attentive. I like the family changing rooms too.
Warm pool sauna people
Everything! I primarily use the Y for group fitness. Instructors are excellent, classes are welcoming and inclusive.
I love that you provide a broad range of group classes so that nothing feels stale or boring.
The areas are large enough to support the number of folks working out and the areas remain very clean. The work out areas and bathrooms are very clean.
Love it all. Pool is so overcrowded and lap swimming is so so so limited.
I love the variety of programs and classes that you offer. While the gym can get overcrowded at times, I love knowing there is a class that is lead by professional and knowledgeable instructors that allow me to have a great workout without having to deal with waiting on machines or a bench in the gym. In addition, these classes take the thinking out of it for me and allow me to truly concentrate on becoming stronger!
There is a variety of activities available, for all exercise levels and interests. I would love for you to have educational topics, also, as well as exercise. Such as health issues, a book club, cooking demonstrations, either one-time events or regularly scheduled classes.
