Classes
Swimming lessons!
We have enjoyed the flexibility of the shorter sessions.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Instructor is well trained and professional.
I like that you meet the child where they are and move them up or down levels based on skills and struggles.
The programs are well advertised, well organized, and well run.
More classes have been added. And Y hours are open a little more on some days. A lot of new equipment and updates to flooring bring interest to more folks taking tours to maybe
join.
Good equipment and staff
I enjoy the variety and number of machines in the equipment room. There is also a large variety of group fitness classes for all activity levels.
Friendly people and staff. Staff always able to answer questions
The Mills County YMCA is a great place to exercise and socialize. My wife and I play pickleball Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings with a group from the Southwest Iowa Pickleball Club. It's a great way for seniors to keep energized and and have fun. The YMCA staff are very helpful and pleasant. Mills County YMCA rocks!
I like that kids can learn sports at an early age and we participate in YMCA sports often.
Feedback: Ensure kids on each team are the same age/grade. My daughter was placed on a team with all first and second graders, leaving her to be the only third grader.
I understand this can happen based on how many kids sign up, etc. However, my niece, who is in 2nd grade, was placed on a team full third graders. My daughter and my niece should have been on the opposite teams based on age and grade so this highlights that there is room for improvement with teams being created. My daughter should have been with girls her age and in her grade and my niece should have been on the team with girls her age and grade.
Nice weight rooms, good pool area. but you need a hot tub for water therapy!!!!
The staff his absolutely amazing what they do. Everyone is so friendly
