I love that you have yoga every day of the week with different styles and levels. The Y is always clean. The people at the front desk are friendly and helpful. The machines are kept clean and in working order.
There is something for each family member
Trainers are wonderfu, friendly and very knowledgeable in what they do, My husband has Parkinson’s and silver sneakers water aerobics and exercises have really helped him. Only regret is why we didn’t join sooner.
Really like the stand alone electronics on the machines like treadmills and stair steppers. Also, think the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Seniors programs are a big part of what brought me to choose The Y as my choice of where to work out. Though a miss step of my own caused me to drop out of that class, I soon found myself at home in the gum. I like that it seems everyone there, no matter what day or time I come, is on a mission. That is, young older, and everyone in between, seems serious about what they are doing. They may be having fun, but are focusedon the outcome.
As important, the staff, to a person, is great. They too, are serious about their jobs, but they have time to listen, should you have a question, and will take the time to greet you when you arrive, and often when you leave.
The Y is kept clean and tidy. My hat goes off to those responsible, for the freshness and cleanliness is a big part of, not what brought me there, but a big part of what keeps me coming.
I like this Y a lot. I've visited others, both in the Houston area and as far away as Connecticut, but none of them comes close to Monty Ballard, especially where staff is concerned.
The quality and variety
Body Pump and CX Works.
Have been taking all of Lori Joiner’s classes. Love the Les Mills offerings and Lori is a fabulous instructor. Very thankful to have the opportunity to take these classes as part of my YMCA membership.
