The classes
Can I tell you what I don't like? It seems like the workers in the Wellness Center spend all their time playing with their phones or the computer or talking with each other. I doubt that is what the Y pays them to do? I think they should "police" the folks using this facility and encourage/suggest/demand that they wipe down the equipment. Many people don't. I think they should offer suggestions to people who may not be using the equipment correctly. I think they should at least walk around the facility rather than staying huddled around the comuter.
Group exercise
Orderly, clean, family oriented, comprehensive fitness facility, fitness programs for all ages.
The best management and staff and the best YMCA
I love the family oriented environment! I love the community involvement and all the help they give. I love that the YMCA offers so many group exercise classes and have great instructors!
Classes are geared to the senior community and the instructors are great.
I enjoy the indoor pool and the group exercise classes. The remodel locker room is nice but we need more benches for the dressing area.
I would like to see more dance exercise for older adults. Jackie or Desiree are very good with connecting with the their students, very cheerful and just enjoys being with older students. Love both of them.
I love that’s there is something there for everyone in the family.
Such a great variety, a spacious facility and friendly staff

Great. Instructors.
Ms. Ruth is always hospitable to all the guests and very informative with the classes and programs offered at the Y, and that's why I always recommend the Y @ Monty Ballard to family and friends.
Ruth, keep doing the AMAZING work @the Y.
Thank you,

Several times I have signed up for appointments at the pool. When I arrived the guard did not have my name for any slots. I have taken to bringing my printed acknowledgement.

I just re-joined so I have been using the various machines in the exercise room. I intend to take classes at a later date.
Love that u are christian based organization. I have enjoyed & benefited from the low impact cardio classes, some zumba classes, & using a tread mill. I wanted to add that Laura G who is instructor for low impact cardio is just outstanding. She makes exercising really fun and enjoyable. She is so good about demonstrating & explaining each exercise before we have to do it. We have had several subs for her over the past years & I also attend this same class on other days that she does not teach --there is no comparison. Before Covid, I had to go at least 10 min. before class started in order to fine a space to stand! Everyone just loves her. I also zoomed in on a couple of educational classes with doctors leading on health issues--very beneficial. Everyone of the staff is always extremely helpful and kind. When I was told I had to register on my cell in order to attend a class, panic set in. I only do the basics when it comes to electronic devices. I wish I could have remembered the girl's name (at the desk) who was sooo patient with me & assured me that I could learn how to register for a class. I told her that I stopped by originally to ask if I could just come by a day before each class I wanted to attend and have someone at the desk add my name to a particular class. She indicated she could not do that. She walked me through it very slowly and then had me do it on my own. She made me do it a second time to assure myself that I could do it. She then told me if I had any difficulty to please not hesitate to call "that's why they were there". It doesn't get any better than that!
Please do not share my name. Thank you.
I love the group exercise classes! The instructors really push you to do your best and everyone is so supportive of one another. It really feels like a big family when you walk in the door.
