The family theme. The equiptment and friendly staff and variety of classes.
Boot camp classes are great. Erin as an instructor is great.
The gym area gets hot in summer. It would also be great to have more high intensity classes outside 9-5 Monday - Friday hours.

We love swimming lessons at ymca Buckner. Kelsey makes them so enjoyable.
I really like Ruth and Sophia they are my daughters swim instructors. They are very caring and compassionate about what they do. The facility is very clean, and everyone seems very helpful.
The instructors have been amazing. Our kids have taken several rounds of swim lessons and have had Ruth for most sessions. She is patient, fun, and knowledgeable!
Sophia has been wonderful during our son’s swim lessons. The way she has adjusted the lesson to meet the need and attention of our son has been exceptional.
The pool
Staff members are great.
I do wish the pool was a couple degrees warmer for water aerobics. Dread going in. Only thing I dislike.
I love the atmosphere, the employees and enjoy the gym. It’s made a huge difference in my life. Lost 70 lbs so far. Gotten me out and active. 😉
Weight room is excellent, friendly staff, clean!
The pool is very nice. Keep the water temperature low for lap swimming please! 80 to 78 degrees is perfect!!👍

Wonderful staff, environment, equipment... This place has it all. Big shout-out to Meredith Wise for being very accommodating, welcoming, and understanding... My daughter loves the kids play area, honestly, we could not be happier with the YMCA Buckner location.
