The variety of classes offered. The child care is awesome
Open swimming
I find it hard to believe that you do not have the child watch open Friday evenings .....
The instructors are professional, welcoming and recommend various modifications based on your fitness levels .
There are lots of programs at different times that cater to different age levels and abilities.
I think this facility is great, just hated when you limited pickleball hours.
You have a program for every need. I really like they teachers!
Great staff and machines/weights
The instructors were amazing, Dylan and Mia were amazing and so patient with the kids.
Boot camp
Great staff, very clean and my boys love the child watch!
Kids club lots of swim lesson options for kids and accommodating pool staff. Classes virtual and otherwise are offered at times that work for us.
I like that I can bring my daughters, my 1 year old to child care and my teenager uses the gym. It’s clean. The instructors make the classes very enjoyable and the staff is always willing to help and answer questions.
The benefit of being physically healthy, and he friendly trainers who give so much to help keep us in shape.
I love that they are interactive and high energy. The instructors are amazing and the classes are plentiful.
I love the Pilates class and using the cardio room upstairs. Limiting the class size also makes the group activity more enjoyable.
Ones for the elderly, wish they were more and at an earlier time
Friendly people. Great equipment options.
My husband and I like everything. The openness of the workout facility is amazing! The staff is exceptional!! Everyone is so kind and great. It’s so nice to see the same people there which promotes a family atmosphere. The lighting is great and even in a thunderstorm it is welcoming. The monty Ballard Y is it so dark and sometimes saddening.
The folks who work there are the friendliest group of people I have ever met and seem to go out of their way to make me feel welcome every time I walk in the door!
I love Mark Chapman YMCA! I love the classes, the instructors and the staff. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. I don’t take advantage of any of the programs, but I love the variety of classes offered and attend almost every day. Thanks for all you do!
Love Zumba instructors Yenny and Ivy especially. They are the reason I signed up at the YMCA. I also like Yenny’s Silver Sneakers class. Actually, anything Yenny or Ivy teaches is fantastic for me.

Classes.
I very much like all of your forever well classes, and I do like the fact that now we have the ability to choose a class at Monty Ballard and then also around the same time there is usually one at Katy Main. I like the fact that everyone can exercise at their own level/pace and do as much as they are able, without being called out or criticized by the instructor.
All the group X classes and instructors are amazing!!
Love playing Pickleball!
Friendly, clean, great workout facility. 2nd floor has many weight and machines to offer a great workout for any individual. If you're into group exercise, there is not that many classes available as I've seen at other Y's, but the classes offered they are very good.

I like the different and variety schedule, and also qualified and prepared personnel for each activity. As well as the diversity of classes and activities for the family in general. Children really enjoy activities 😊 Thanks to all the super team!!!
