Les Mills workout classes
Love the group classes (Spin and Body Pump). Can't believe the quality of the instructors. Not a weak one in the bunch!
Love the reservation system for classes. Hope we don't drop it when covid goes away. I'd much rather know I have a spot reserved for class than getting there and finding it full.
I like the group experience classes especially Zumba, the energy and vibe the instructors have keeps me coming back to classes. I like playing volleyball I would suggest that you schedule open time in the gym to play volleyball just for fun. I used to belong to the YMCA in west Texas and they actually had coed volleyball leagues. I participated in that would love to see that coming in the future.
Looks great with the renovation
The classes are incredible!
I like
I love the instructors for the group classes. I love that the room is clean and evenly spaced.
Water activity is my favorite way to enjoy the YMCA. Please add a water Zumba class.
I only use the pool, including the daily classes. I like that there is a different instructor each day; thus we get a variety of moves to keep the body fit! The enthusiasm and professionalism of the staff is contagious. The atmosphere is always delightful. And I must include pool lifeguards in my assessment since they too take their jobs seriously and do so with a smile.
Instructors are excellent.
Option for in person and virtual classes.
I would like to be able to start a BodyPump class if no one is using the room.
Activities seem fun and interesting// Swilliams
Good senior programs. Lots of machines available for everyone.
The amazing group ex instructors! They are inviting, positive and bring the fun. They are always willing to help members reach their goals.
Your programs have good classes and good teachers. Please keep the facilities clean and cool.
Great instructors.
I love the group fitness classes.
The front desk people are super friendly and always helpful
Everything is always very clean.
I love that we clean our equipment after every group fitness class. I really hope that the YMCA continues with that even after the pandemic ends. I think it is more sanitary and good for all.
Love all the instructors and fitness classes.
All the machines and most have doubles. Helps having the one I want next to be available. All clean and new. I realize it’s not needed now but when everyone is back it will sure help
Variety of programs at different times. The staff is amazing. All the way from janitor to everyone who greets me to helping with equipment.
Great coaches that are very patient.
I love the Y, specially the Monty Ballard Y in my neighborhood. I specifically much appreciate your heated large pool at the MB YMCA and have regularly used it ever since it was built. However, I would like to make the following two suggestions.
1. You are currently closing the MB YMCA at 9pm, however the pool closes at 7:45pm, more than the usual 1 hr before closing. PLEASE leave it open till 8pm for the public (you are allowing it for your swim classes)! There is no apparent need to close it more than an hour before closing and it does add much needed schedule flexibility for us the patrons.
2. You have enough room in the pool area to add a reasonable sized steam and/or dry sauna. Very few YMCA's have this facility and none in the west part of Houston. I understand we still have Covid but vaccines are now available to all and it's time to begin our return to normal healthy ways. A sauna would be such a healthy addition and it would certainly add a touch of excellence to your current facilities.
The group classes are the best. Lori and Jill G are two of the greatest instructors I’ve ever had and I look forward to going to their classes every week. Thankful more classes and times have opened up, it helps with my busy schedule.
