All
Great trainers.
Classes for seniors and field trips
Good variety of group exercise classes. Fun instructors.
I love going to the pool early in the morning. It's always clean and the water temperature is always perfect, in my opinion. It is not crowded and the lifeguards are very nice and accomodating. I enjoy my excercise time and have met new friends.
Several amenities for everyone to enjoy and keep healthy.
Various courses offered for all ages
I love the line dancing and the multiple offerings for seniors. The computerized exercise equipment is great.
Love the class options and the instructors are great
I use Silver and Fit for implementing rehab scheduled by Memorial Hermann Rehab and Rehabilitation. I use a YMCA Trainer to make sure I am doing scheduled items correctly. Sometimes using a trainer twice a week for three months. Trainer was qualified helping me create a stretching warm up, improved position and resulting better results.
I am getting to start Silver and Fit in the near future aat Shadowbend YMCA.
The Y is always about families and the local community. Fantastic instructors in their classes are knowledgeable with great expertese. Nothing like it.
We are older seniors & we like going to the YMCA at Shadow Bend.
None of the accessible member areas at the Y have a raised mat. There was a large one there several years ago but it was removed. Now the only one is a smaller one in a room reserved for trainer type use.
The reason I bring this up is because when doing exercises that require you to lay on your back my wife has difficulty getting up off of a mat on the floor. A raised mat is needed or if at home our bed works fine. Since we like to do all our exercises at the Y if possible it would be great if a raised mat was reinstalled at the Y.
I've got to believe there are a lot of older seniors that could benefit from this.
Thanks, Alan Last name removed @ Phone number removed.
Your gym -

Water aerobics and game days!
Egym
Well organized and Y employees are all so friendly and make you feel welcome as soon as you come in.
My wife really likes water aerobics. The only issue is that aren't Friday classes or every Saturday classes.
The number of different classes offered
The professional caring teachers the friendly helpful staff. The other members who are welcoming and supportive. The number and location of bathrooms is great convenience
Large variety for every age group. Very comfortable – a neighborhood type feel.
Friendly staff, great place to meet people, and swim laps. Many choices of activities for all ages.
Thanks.
All the staff are friendly and helpful. They are well informed and if you have a y questions they have the answer immediately. Very clean facilities and peaceful atmosphere.
I enjoy swimming at the pool and feel very safe there. The water seems to be always well balanced chemically and that ensures my comfort when water gets in my eyes. The personnel are also very friendly and welcoming!

Great facility and staff is very helpful.
I love the Water Exercise class with Debbie Phillips. She is the best instructor I've had.
She works hard to create routines that challenge us and she truly cares whether we are doing
the exercises correctly to give us the best workout.
I also use the Egym system and like it very much. It is so nice to not have to figure out what weight level to use on each machine. It is a challenging work out and continues to motivate you to increase your weight level or type of program you are on.
The only 'con' to this is it is very popular and it is crowded sometimes when I go and you have do the machines out or order in order to go 2 rounds.
