Member Testimonials
First time ever I feel like we have a real coach. That is actually helping these kids.
Great
I like some classes, unfortunately they are to earlier and not every day. Yoga, Water exercise, stretching, Tai-chi
Los equipos para hacer ejercicios y sobre todo , el excelente trato del personal que labora en YMCA .
Well rounded program
Love Mat Pilates and Barre.
Variety and availability are great!
As an active senior, I exercise daily and also come to classes at the Y. I enjoy BodyPump and Mat Pilates. Been attending these classes for over 10 years!
I love your Silver Sneakers programs! All of the staff are professional, Customer oriented and friendly!
Excellent weight & exercise machine rooms and swimming pool. Great mentor programs as group water aerobics, yoga, etc and personal counseling of individualized exercise programs. Friendly personnel and instructors. Wonderful child programs like swimming, summer camps (in which my children participated nearly 40 years ago). We love the YMCA & even sing the song with alphabetic arm motions at water aerobics class. Go Tara, Keirie, Yubraily!!
TIMES OF DAY THEY ARE OFFERED AND THE VARIETY OF CLASSES AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN
How seriously you take childwatch
The cleanliness in that order
during the upgrade (modifications of equipment setup) to the gym at Katy, some good and useful equipment was removed or quantity reduced. There were two Abdominal Crunch machines, now only one was left, the sad thing is that most of the time it is busy (only one for too many users). Be aware that many users like to work their abdomens with this equipment, I would suggest to return minimum a second one back please.
Friendly Staff, clean environment, many activities to chose from for all ages.
Ballard has some excellent instructors and members.
I suggest more than 55 minutes for Stretch and Restore, and for Tai Chi.These are slow movement classes (unlike Combat, BP, etc.). Consider taking them to 75 minutes length. They are very popular and fill up the Cummins room.
Better communication in regards to activities
Enjoy going to silver sneakers, exercising under good instructors, meeting friends. Staff is very nice,, cheerful greetings.
Zumba is my favorite. The instructors are all very nice and encouraging. I love doing the group classes that are offered: Barre, Zumba Tone, Zumba, CSI. It's a great way to keep moving with the support of an instructor.
Great instructors who are genuinely interested in helping members get stronger!
I like the Y because it's agreat place for adults and children. Love the group classes as well as the small group class like kettle bell. There are activities that fit every need.
I love the exercise classes. There is something for everyone. It's also a great place to make friends.
I also love the book club and Camp Cullen. The book club always has great, thought provoking discussion. And Camp Cullen is a wonderful way to experience the youthful joy of summer camp.
I love the exercise equipment. With the recent addition of equipment at the Monty Ballard YMCA, I was hoping that the Matrix Aura Lateral Raise would be included. I would love to see that addition in the near future.
I love the group fitness classes. I just wish you would require people to sign up for the classes to prevent the overload in the rooms.
There are a lot of options and schedules.
We need more leg press machines, abductor machine and glutes. There are more machines for men than it is for women. No all women can do heavy weight lifting due to medical conditions.
Group classes and sports.
Variety and skill level
The programs are organized and all the key dates are communicated clearly from Scott. I think Scott has done a remarkable job in transforming the Monty Ballard YMCA youth sports program.
I love the friendly staff and excellent instructors for the classes.
La peogramación de las instructoras de "Sandalias plateadas",las actividades especiales como el bingo,el compartir de platos preparados,los pasèos fuera del centro local.
The program is a great experience for my child - especially because he has met friends and feels connected while he is there.
