Staff care about those who u
friendly and helpful
There are many different ways to get your exercise. There are people that will work with you to achieve what you are trying to do.
They never pressure you on doing anything though.
The staff you have for before and after school is amazing!
My daughter attended several of the weekly summer camps this year. Her father and I are happy with the attention the summer director, Jeannie Lorimor, put into running the camp smoothly and successfully. We had a few issues toward the start of the summer program, and Jeannie addressed the problems immediately. Some of the positives we liked about summer camp at the Mills YMCA were:
-Behavior plans were created and implemented. Kids were able to earn positive reinforcements for acceptable behavior.
-Weekly themes, speakers, and extra fun activities (i.e., water slide, walk to the local candy store, etc.) were planned and shared with parents.
-Jeannie was almost always present throughout the day if parents had concerns or questions.
-Warm and friendly staff members
-Trips to the outdoor pool
-Large and fine motor activities to help burn off extra energy- our daughter came home tired every day, which is hard to accomplish.
Our daughter reported that her favorite part about summer camp was being a "counselor in training," where she got to work with and support some of her younger peers. She came home stating that she couldn't wait to be a counselor at the YMCA when she grew up. On her last day, she ran out crying because she had so much fun and would miss her teachers and friends. We highly recommend the Mills County YMCA summer camp to family and friends.
My daughter had the best summer! Her favorite was swimming. She loved the lunch program, told her dad that it was better than his food, lol! She loves art and crafts, and they did lots of arts and fun crafts. The made an aquarium, did tye dye, and lots of drawing and stencils. She loved the guest speakers, her favorite were the many animals they got to meet. This program is very well organized and directed. My daughter will be returning next summer. I highly recommend the Glenwood YMCA summer camp your kid(s) will love it!
Many opportunities for me as a retiree to stay active! I enjoy the pool, and often use the weight machines, exercise bikes, treadmill, and the gym for winter pickleball. It's great that there are daily classes for Silver Sneakers type exercises. The staff is the best!
So many varieties of programs. Something for everyone. Our kids loved summer camp!!
Large variety of programs and activities, clean facilities with state-of-the-art equipment
They are heard for all ages. At our Y in Glenwood there aren't as many variety of classes that there used to be like in 2016 when I used to go a lot. The ones I like are at 5 am! I used to like Zumba and Body Pump. I always pick up a new schedule when it comes out but still disappointed. I love the staff and atmosphere! I do recommend the Y to my friends
Love Group Power!
Great staff
All of the staff are kind, open and friendly. It's a pleasure to get to know them. I would say it's a place where everyone is no more, or less important than anyone else.
The aqua toning class is wonderful! Betty and Sharon are wonderful instructors and we always have a good time….and you feel good afterwards! My tone,my strength and energy have improved over the years. I would highly recommend it!
Everyone there is great and the facilities are well maintained and very functional.

The Y has a nice wellness center with updated equipment. The instructors are great and the group classes are fun.

Great group fitness instructors
I have been a member since it opened. I am 97 and in good health and I attribute it to my weekly visits to the pool for the water aerobics.
Nice clean environment with modern weights and machines.
