I like the wide variety of classes offered at times that are convenient for my schedule. I wish there were more morning yoga options available as there used to be when I began attending the Maple St. Y.
Great coachs
The people. I grew up in Benson and it just makes sense that this Y I would go to. I also go to the westview ymca because it’s closer and nicer in side but the people are just a little different nice but different.
I enjoy attending the Aqua Fit classes in the evening. Although I am a little frustrated in the quality of instruction. Perhaps additional training and coaching would be helpful. The current instructor seems to really enjoy teaching. I am grateful that there is an instructor for this class.
There is a wide variety of programs to fit everyone's needs and a helpful staff with a great sense of community.
I really just drop in when I need to work out when I’m in that neighborhood. Usually I’m in Gretna. But sometimes when I’m in the city, I go to Maple Street because of my schedule. I use the NUSTEP or sometimes I’ll use the weight machines
Silver Sneakers, weights, yoga, machines
Line dance classes
The instructors are so nice and friendly. Great variety of classes for seniors.
Dedicated fun teachers and very nice students.
Truly Judy use the workout machines - always clean and available
I’ve been going here since I was 6 years old I am now 24 love this ymca and will always love this ymca
its right in the middle of hugh neighborhoods - just needs a reliable pool and more parking. Every Y gets updated or rebuilt new but this one!
1. The variety of activities
2. The facilitators are great and make the classes fun
I love your Silver Sneakers exercise classes which are geared for us older folks. Instructors also give suggestions to make the exercises more or less challenging, and all skill levels are welcome.
The variety of exercise programs, esp. Silver Sneakers
I like the variation of the group exercise classes and times. The instructors are amazing and take the time to show alternate moves or stretches to accommodate those with body restrictions.
I attend the Tuesday/Thursday silver sneakers classes because I wanted more exercise partly to sleep thru the night, and partly because I want to get stronger after breaking my hip -- these classes really fill the bill!
I had a positive experience with the childcare opportunity and hope that value continues for me and my children. The facilities are in good shape. The showers and locker room were in acceptable shape - I found a broken soap dispenser in the stall I chose. Otherwise, it was a 10.
I use the cardio room and the weight room. The machines are in good shape and you can usually find a machine, even when it's busy. The staff is also helpful and friendly.
I just use the gym
I like the group activities and find them beneficial.
