Member Testimonials
I like the diversity of the people that are involved, employees, volunteers and patrons. I like the redesign of the gym, and the availability of gym equipment I use
I do not like that you seem to be phasing out the life fitness brand of equipment. I like the treadmill because of the ease of playing games while I exercise, which keeps me coming back. As for the ellipticals, I feel like I'm on an oversized machine with all brands except the life fitness. My hands are too small and the handles are too high for me to get a comfortable upper body workout, or even a comfortable position.
I love there is a separate lap pool but keep it a secret so it doesn’t become more crowded.
Close to home, lots of variety!
Slop 'em up!

The friendly environment and sense of community.
Great variety! Great instructors and great community!
Wellness Center open all the time. Outdoor swimming much,much better this year.
i LOVE THE EQUIPMENT, EMPLOYEES ARE SO FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL! Indoor and outdoor pools.
My favorite class is Chair One with Quanay. With upbeat music and such an enthusiastic instructor it is fun, so it keeps me moving. And I enjoy being in a group and meeting people, too.
There are many activities for the whole family
Friendly Staff, so many activites
I love the water aerobics but I don't like the inconsistency of the teacher's & closing the pool at 11:00am. My Doctor recommended water aerobic for weight loss but sometimes I have doctors appointments early morning and can't get their sometimes until later, but that's when the pool is closing.
I like the variety. I haven’t been to the ymca in the fort for awhile. I went to LA fitness after it has been open 5-10 years. They didn’t update anything. The pool and hottub area look old and dirty. Everything at ymca ft harrison looks nice and updated. Clean and nice facilities. Nice and helpful staff.
I am wondering about the bike schedule… every time I check the room and it’s scheduled, but no one is there.
Cardio Dance Classes, Group Ex classes in general, friendly staff, awesome members and teachers!
I like all the updates in the wellness center.
Everything
Lots to offer
I appreciate the Silver Sneaker yogo sessions with Sharon on Monday and Fridays. I had been away from those classes for several months, and really missed the good stretching, as well as Sharon's graciousness, instruction and wisdom.
Sharon’s Silver Sneakers chair yoga is the best!! I really enjoy the camaraderie that she promotes among the attendees.
I also enjoy the friendly reception at the front desk. They always make me feel welcome.
It services all ages. Particularly seniors.
The people
Convenience of location, friendly staff, activities for all ages.
What I like, is the fact that it doesn’t matter what age your physical ability is, there is an activity for you. And everyone that works there seems very friendly and happy to be there to help us.
Friendly staff&clean facility. No "music" in workout facilities!
Instructor care, staff listens and the Welcome Center staff smile and are personable.
Well Center and Day care
Availability of equipment, frriendly staff, and informative and cleaniliness of facilities are my main reasons for using the YMCA vs some others. I wish I could say it's because of all the pretty young females but I will leave that for the younger guys.

Variety of classes, great instructors, outstanding management. Staff is friendly and helpful. Thank you!
