Exercise room with e-gym, multiple cardio machines
Swim classes for children
I like the Forever Well and Silver Sneakers programs. I was not happy with the summer time change for our classes. Our seniority had no importance when it came to the time our classes were offered. The children should have been changed when they could use the gym not the Seniors.
Great group exercise classes at really convenient times for my schedule!
So varied. Terrific instructors in great facility. I am always met with friendly, helpful staff. Appreciate the website & emails. Keep it up, great job!
I became a member of the Y in the mid 90's at the Cypresswood location. I loved it then, and I do now. It's not just a gym, it's so much more.
I mainly go to group exercise classes that are so motivational. The instructors are all different and equally talented and kind. It's a place where everyone can feel comfortable and meet our neighbors. There is a big, chain gym on the block where I live. I walked in and spoke to the young lady who was dutifully giving me the speech. Asking me why I was interested in working out. Was it a wedding, reunion,etc? My answer, "Tomorrow". That's the truth. I'm old and happy to be here on this earth. I try to keep my body functioning so my tomorrows will be better. The Y helps me do that.
The Y is a gift.
Nice n friendly, front desk, Class alway so much fun n 💃🏻
The variety of classes for varying skill and strength level
All programs and Activities are very good for people older ages, younger ages - and kids also what they wants to participate and enjoys.
Diverse offerings and opportunities.
Six years ago I rediscovered swimming at the Y , and I haven’t stopped swimming since.
I really just go for the pool and steam room. I drive all the way from Spring as this is my favorite location.
I like the programs especially the silver sneakers. The instructors are great and I enjoy the class. I also like the trips every 2 months. Thanks to Elena and hats off to her for organizing the trips and for being there any time we need help. She is AWESOME!!!
I love the circuit and I love Randi’s classes! And the parking is great except for the big puddle when it rains a lot.
Senior fitness programs are excellent. I have met women from all over the world: most of them are retired teachers, nurses, professors, or physicians. We have great conversations before class.
Pickleball
Love the welcoming staff, overall atmosphere, facilities, and the BodyPump classes (virtual and in person). It can be hard to get a lane in the pool, so I try to swim during non-peak hours.
One thing I would recommend is installing a PA system for emergencies, especially in this day and age. This morning, a concerned gym patron walked around the entire floor upstairs, asking everyone there if they drove a black Cadillac (license plate was pictured) because there was a dog unattended in a parked car, and the engine was off. I immediately hopped off the treadmill, teamed up with her, and quickly convened with YMCA staff. One of the staff had already called 911 and reported the license plate, thank goodness. By the time we walked by outside to check on the dog, the owner of the Cadillac had left. They probably didn't want to acknowledge that it was their car when asked and discreetly scurried off. This would have been a perfect use of a PA system--to page the owner of a black Cadillac SUV, which would have been way more efficient. Then you could address the issue privately with the owner (parked illegally, about to be towed, or, this case, left a dog unattended).
I just like the vibe of being at the Y.
It’s a great place to go for different things
Variety
My routine is weight lifting and cardiovascular exercises. I heard there a numerous programs and activities that i have not explored yet.
I have only done the Forever Well Group Exercise and Water Aerobics. Love Shavon, she is a great instructor. I like Noha (Thursdays) a lot. Also enjoy Priscilla and Nellie.
I love the youth centered programs.
I absolutely love the instructors you have for nightclub cardio: mainly toni, bea, Danielle, and April.--I know there's a large loyal group who attends those classes and its the main reason I am keeping my current membership.
if its possible to give them raises, more class times, or recognition please do so.
kindest regards,

Rate of activities for senior citizens.
Ease of scheduling on the 360 app.
Limited space in many of the senior classes, including water, exercise, and indoor exercise.
Changing the time of our activities to meet the needs for the summer schedule. The 12-1 time is not convenient for most of us.
Frequent cancellations of class due to instructor not being available.
Some instructors are not as effective as others.
Friendly people and fyn activities.
I was coming to pickle ball but that has been toooooo competitive. So, I get on a sanitary bick and lift a 20 pound wright for 5 miles.
The staff and clients are nice and friendly.
Great
The kids club seems really safe
Providing activities for seniors!
The microphone system in the gym is poor
I wish they would blow up the balls and wash them
Everything everybody’s very helpful
I love the senior exercise classes. I wish John's stretch classes were in a larger room so more could attend.
I enjoyed getting invloved with the Christmas gifts and backpacks for children. I am glad you have summer programs for children.
I really enjoyed the information sessions for older adults on health and other issues. I wish there were more.
