My husband and I thoroughly enjoy working out at The Center. The pool happens to be closed this week and I will miss the workout and the social life that we have.
Good exercise.
The warm water workouts in the pool are very rejuvenating.
I feel I get a good workout for my age. Now that the COVID restrictions have been removed, it is nice to be able to just walk in for a class rather than try and get booked. Lots of activities to choose from.
Keeps me moving and so many friends!
Everyone is so friendly. Nicely paced classes.
It gives me opportunity for more social connections and group exercise seems to work better for me
I like all the actities and programs
I go to the Line Dancing classes. You are blessed to have 2 fantastic instructors.
I enjoy the water exercise classes and the flexibility to attend different times offered. Please schedule some afternoon times also.
Reaches out to help others build healthy relationships and lifestyle.
The warm pool. Lori our leader. So many nice people. Thanks to Amanda, Bob etc for management
Programs are geared to those 55 and older. Enjoy the instructors and the friendship with other members.
The instructors the parking the facility overall.
Always greeted with a smile when I go thru the door. Loved being called by name. The life guards keep good care of me and I love the warm water. Hugs!
The YMCA offers so many classes for retired people in Council Bluffs. And they work with your income, so there is really no reason for anyone to not make an attempt to try and stay healthy. I'm impressed with not only the exercise classes, but also the variety of entertainment they offer in the afternoons. All types of games for retires. It's so much better now that they require everyone to sign up for swim lane times.
It's fun. People are very friendly. Relaxing class to learn in. Do hate to miss learning line dance when can't make it.... don't drop the class!!
Tai Chi! I love the Tai Chi class on Wednesday mornings. I also enjoy the kind members and staff.
There is a great variety of activities appealing to all tastes. You respond to community needs and interests. Staff are friendly and knowedgeable. You've stayed open and kept in line with covid requirements.
I rejoined recently and have found myself sidelined by yard work so not visited as much as I want. Keeping active though and always enjoy the pool. Georgia was very helpful helping me with the fitness orientation.
The programs offered are designed for the older crowd. There is no judgement.
I love the heated pool. Workout room is nice and quiet.
The tai chi, line dancing, and chair yoga classes are the best!
Like spending time with friends and most of the people there are my age.
I enjoy the exercise programs and that there are different levels , so you can progress. The instructors are all very skilled ,willing to help and are friendly.
We like everything about the Healthy Living Center, from the people to the classes. It is an important part of our retirement.
Now that Covid is declining hopefully we’ll get more classes going
Overall great class selections
Like the yoga and aerobics. We need more aerobics classes. Half the time you can't get signed up. It is a great facility most of us are vaccinated. It helps us feel safe.
Very friendly and I enjoy the water classes
The Health Center is great because the programs and activities allow for socializing while learning, get out of the house, and staying fit (mentally and physically). It's never overly crowded like the other gyms with inconsiderate people - everyone has been very polite that I have encountered. There is diverse selection of social activities to participate in from cards to crafting (can't wait for things to fully get back to normal after covid for all of those to come back full force). Most group workout programs are early enough I don't have to worry about traffic at rush times. And, I'm not going to lie, I really love that there are not young children running around, especially in the pool area.
