I need to sign my son up
Schedule of classes convenient for me - before 11:00 AM
Great facility very clean, friendly staff
The class was fun and the instruction was helpful. Felt a little out of my comfort zone at first but the group was welcoming. The only thing I didn’t like was the childcare entry set up. It was my first time there. I scanned my fob to check in. Then I turned behind me because I saw a door that said child watch. So I enter it and say where do I check my child at. And the teacher said, “oh. It’s over here” (pointing across the room). “This door is usually locked. I don’t know why it isn’t locked.” So then she made me go around to the correct entrance. And I asked her where it was, as it was my first time there (hence also thinking this door was the entrance). And she had to show me. It was a little confusing. I don’t know why we couldn’t have stayed in the classroom and walk across the room instead of leaving childwatch and walking around near the lobby area. It was a little frustrating because this fiasco made me late to the workout class. So I suggest keeping the door locked like it was said to supposed to be AND making signage to get to childwatch the correct way more users friendly and visible.
My daughter loves the basketball program! She is having so much fun and developing great skills too.
The time I spend in the Benson area is made possible by the Y, they allow me to get a workout in-between the jobs or repair I have to make on business locations
Fitness classes are great. Facilities are very clean. Staff is very friendly
Livestrong has been a great program for me as a survivor of lung cancer. Silver Sneakers is paced about right for me and it's fun. I like being able to use equipment whenever oí go. The atmosphere is friendly and noncompetitive, not like an expensive gym. I enjoy going there.
I love bodypump and cycling. I enjoyed the yoga class as well! I'd go more often if my work schedule worked with it better (it varies)
The instructors and participants

People always treat me with kindness and respect. This is the neighborhood that I grew up in so of course the Benson why is the first one I went to I go to some of the other wise, but this one always seems my home..
The program Silver Sneekers, is so right for me! It’s not too fast, nor is it too much for my body to handle! I in fact feel rejuvenated when the class has ended!
Call offers a nice variety of yoga options
Nice place to workout
Weight room, other exercise equipment, Silver sneakers, chair yoga
Simple and easy
This YMCA location is very inclusive! I have several special needs children and they are allowed to participate in any and all activities they choose. Some things may be harder for my kids, but the Y has come alongside them and offered extra support so they can participate. My kids are able to observe a class and not be told to leave because they are making others uncomfortable!
I have a Y location much closer to my home, but my family and children are treated differently. They have been asked not to participate in activities, to stop observing classes to see if they want to join in the next time. Maple Street was our YMCA for many years, and we didn't mind the drive, because my kids always felt safe, loved and included. We started to attend our local Y and we were not welcomed like you do there. We came back to where my family feels safe, loved and accepted.
Great Job!!
I broke my hip about 18 months ago and was looking for an exercise routine that would help me continue to recover so when a friend showed me the range of exercise classes I decided I would have to try it. I'm taking the silver sneaker circuit and low impact cardio classes and they really are making a difference, and it doesn't hurt that everyone in these classes are friendly and helpful.
The one on one assistance
They are a lot of fun they help our kids learn sports and teamwork.
I like the Brain and Body class.
