Member Testimonials
Gym area, group exercise, kids programs, nice facilities and great staff
I like Catherine’s classes, and Josh, and Mary. I am older, and some of the classes are too hard for me, but their classes work. Thank you.
Clean facility, not over crowed and convenient location
Instructors are great.
The instructors and class content are excellent. I joined the Y in February and I have been extremely pleased. I have encouraged others to visit the Y too.
I love Silver Sneakers. It’s a very popular class with older adults. The exercises and movements are geared to seniors.
This class is offered Monday and Wednesday at the Chapman Y. We need a Silver Sneakers class on Friday. This class is so beneficial, a third class would be so helpful in keeping us fit.
The programs for seniors.
I just use the pool & showers, but it’s great! The pool temp could be a few degrees cooler (I know it cost $ per degree), but I do appreciate the warm pool in the cool mornings! See, I also swim at a neighborhood pool which is NOT heated.
If you save $ on the gas bill, maybe use it a little of that savings to bring back Coffee???
Love the exercise classes
Very courteous and supportive swim trainers for first time kids.
Grea instructors and family-friendly
Chapman YMCA is great. Staff are always polite and helpful. I use the pool facilities on a regular basis. The pool staff is outstanding and they do an excellent job. They are clearly a step above any other pool staff I have seen with safety always the top priority.
A few suggestions for consideration that may be driven by budget issues.
Restore Coffee Service - This was discontinued during covid. While restored some time ago at Monty Ballard, the Chapman YMCA has not restored. This use to be a huge social plus with members gathering around a cup coffee after workouts. You don’t see these gatherings any more. Isn’t that what the Y should promote? Monty Ballard has this has this, why not Chapman?
Pool Furniture - Is in desperate need of repair. The chair frames appear solid but the mesh fabric is in such a poor state that the chairs are not functional.
It is great for the young kids.
Love Zumba with Dalila
I like the zumba class and pickle ball
Me too
Variety of classes available, clean facility, great staff.

Love the classes and the instructors! Please bring back CSI with Bethany T on Thursdays at Monty Ballard.
It's a lovely facility and the classes are great.
Staff is always attentive, constantly providing feedback on the progress of the kids. Facilities are always clean snd well maintained.
i like the atmosphere of the workout area upstairs. I work out during the day so its never overly crowded with easy access to the equipment. I do also enjoy the group exercise room.
Pickleball
I like that the gym isn't crowded in the afternoon. The Y employees are nice and friendly.
