Member Testimonials
The group exercise instructors are great. They are accommodating to the entire group making everyone whether you are a beginner or have been working out for a long period of time feel welcome. Instructors are very good at showing various versions of a workout routine and remind us often that it is our workout, make it your own, at your own level and pace.
Silver Sneakers and Yoga classes. Y is also close to home. Wish there wS a hot tub
The Southwest YMCA is a family. The members care about each other and I feel very comfortable there. I wish we at the SW Y could get benefits as the east end Y's have. We really need a family locker room for both sexes. Families do not want to send their 10 y/o and older special needs kid in locker rooms by themselves and the added stalls in the pool are not adequate. No one knows about these stalls when they are coming into the Y. SW Y participants feel like step children in the Y "family".
I love the silver sneakers classes and Sandy’s yoga class.
The variety of classes, top notch instructors and updated equipment.

The Pool but I wish it would open at 8:00 instead of 9:00.
Coming to the Y each week is something I look forward to. I love that I can take a class and know that my child is also having fun and staying safe in Kids’ Club. The facility is always clean and upbeat. Thanks for being in this community!

The best thing is the pool, you can get the exercise equipment at most gyms. The pool with the pool aerobics really helps my hip and knee replacement
Proximity to my home, the staff is very personable, they’ve always been available to help when I’ve needed. I like the water fitness offerings, and I appreciate how friendly my fellow members are.
The people at my YMCA are the best
Staff is friendly, pool is clean. My kids love the kids club.
The Southwest YMCA has made several improvements in recent years, from modernizing cardio equipment and locker rooms to playing a wider variety of music. The SW Y staff is welcoming (shoutout to Miss A), and the dedication of branch managers is evident. Don’t let the location in SW Jefferson County dissuade you from giving this fitness jewel a try!
