Great for all ages
Everything very good but only the Swimming you need open later . thanks
I enjoy the variety of classes offered and the quality of the instructors. I also like the variety of exercise equipment available.
Good instructors, friendly staff.
I really enjoy the Silver Sneakers program.
Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
I am very impressed and happy with the quality of the classes both my husband and I have taken. The pool has been great--clean and monitored--and we love that it is heated for the colder part of the year.
Love the Sunday afternoon Linedance class.
I cannot think of anything I do not like!
One year after we retired (2016) we joined the Fort Bend Y using our Silver Sneakers insurance related benefit. It was the best thing we have done (well, except for a few cruises) since retirement. We had not exercised in classes before and we found the chair classes useful at first. We marveled at the change in strength and balance even as a result of entry level classes. Now after 3 1/2 years we go to 4 classes a week including 2 cardio classes. Our strength, balance, and cardio vascular endurance are all improved. We look forward to
classes with Mistie Porter. She is a wonderful instructor. Mistie's positive attitude, big smile and greeting for all set the tone for every class.
One unexpected benefit of the Y is the number of friends we have made. We not only exercise at the Y, but also attend events such as pot lucks. We also have made friends with whom we celebrate holidays, birthdays, and other occasions. This is important since retirees lose so many social contacts upon retirement.
Overall, the Y is well run. The staff are efficient and friendly. Members encourage and support one another. It is all good. The insurance companies who support Silver Sneakers are very smart. Falls and loneliness are two major health related problems of aging. The Y
helps promote health and keeps us well.
