Member Testimonials
Skills and enthusiasm of trainers, variety of workout options, and ease of access to work out.
I like that there at towels to use for our workouts and plenty of cleaning wipes to wipe down equipment.
I actually had signed up in Council Bluffs Iowa location. But since I had a membership in the past it had Sarpy as my home base? The trainer I drove to see in Sarpy is very knowledgeable and was great to work with. The Council Bluffs Y is beautiful. But honestly this location wasn’t the right fit for me. The lady that signed me in CB is super nice. If I lived in Sarpy county I would definitely have gone to that location but since I live in Council Bluffs. That location was more convenient to get to. The staff in CB was more about making sure the member is checked in than saying good morning. If I want to feel unwelcome then I guess I’ll go to the council bluffs location? If I’m going to pay almost $50 a month for a gym membership it would be nice to get a tour of the gym and a refresher on the equipment so I know how to use the equipment for the location I would be working out at. But that’s ok. I’m not upset just a little discouraged as I’m trying to get back in to my workout routine.
The instructors are fantastic, they go out of their way to ensure everybody is getting something out of the class. also the facility is alway clean, front staff always helpful

We love to go swimming
There are a lot of programs available to help people achieve their goals. You also have a lot of good opportunities for kids to get involved and be introduced to team atmosphere.
While I haven't used the programs and activities, I have used the cardio room and the weight room. I am able to go at times when there are fewer people (mid-morning or mid-afternoon) so it's nice to use the machines without waiting. The rooms are clean as are the locker rooms.
Of the classes I've attended, the instructors have been top-notch.
Some of the attendees are not the most welcoming...
I like the activities the swimming the chair exercise. It’s a little challenging, but I like it.

The coaches and friendly atmosphere
Friendly staff. Numerous classes, various times and personable instructors. Yet, you can always create your own workout as well.
I like the Silver Sneakers and chair yoga classes and the instructors. The pool is also great and I use it periodically to exercise instead of a SS classic class. My husband uses the exercise equipment and thinks it is a good workout.
The pool is very clean and well maintained. The water is kept at a very comfortable temperature.The instructors are excellent at keeping their students safe and well engaged during the sessions. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
I feel the water exercise classes have very good instructors. Fun and caring.

Clean, friendly
