Enjoy Kathy’s spin class. Enjoy that the MBY is not overcrowded.
Weight room and Wellness center
Zumba program taught by Dalila is great. Other teachers are very good, too.
Loving the virtual options. Just came back after pandemic break. Had a great spin class, and we've swum 3 times in the first week. Also watched an amazing lifeguard / swim teacher dive in and rescue a toddler. Super impressed with the swim safety aspect of our Monty Ballard YMCA.
Easy to use, good schedules and great classes. Everyone is friendly.

The group classes at 7:30 am
Monty Ballard YMCA is wonderful! From front desk staff to trainers ( big Kudos to Kirie Martino) to cleaning staff—all do a great job! I love the family atmosphere. Other gyms tend to feel like meat markets. But at Monty Ballard it feels safe. Very much appreciate the Monday—Sunday hours. Really helps out for those of us who have varying work schedules.
The only things I’m concerned about is the ventilation in crowded classes and the number of unsupervised kids/teenagers using adult equipment. It would be nice if there was an Adult Only section of the YMCA where adult members could work out without waiting for kids to finish playing on the equipment. Also, despite vaccination, Covid is still a big threat to many people with immune issues, heart issues, the elderly, etc. Much more of a threat than flu. I’m dealing with ongoing inflammation issues because of Covid. I wish management would return to keeping the doors open and all fans on in each class/area. It helps so much!
Thank you to all staff for making Monty Ballard the best!
I have only been able to experience 1: the water aerobics on Saturday morning with Yenny. She is fantastic! I get a super good workout. She is always encouraging and makes me want to get the most out of my work out.
I just wish you would have the water exercises at times during the week that those of us who work could take them.
Due to joint issues the water exercises are best for me.

Love zumba with Dalila. I plan my visits around her classes.
I love that there is a variety of classes to choose from. All the instructors are amazing! Top it off with a Christian based place and what more could I want? Love the Ymca!
I love the instructors! They are so knowledgeable about not only the classes they teach, but fitness in general. They keep me motivated to come back every week, and to try workouts that are a challenge. I feel comfortable asking them all kinds of questions about my fitness, and how I can get the most out of my workouts. I also really enjoy the variety of classes available, and appreciate the way management listens to requests from members.
Instructors are very knowledgeable.
