Member Testimonials
This year I'm utilizing a personal trainer each week, swimming laps in the lap pool, and doing an AOA stretch class. The scheduling of each of these is possible because I'm using different programs.
I really enjoy the chair one class. Quanay is great. I do wish we had more classes geared for us older people. The young people are great but we need more older instructors who understand better what we are capable of .
Active older adult programs
Love the outdoor pool with my grandkids and lots of other grandmas and kids!! What fun it has been!
I like the cleanliness of the facility. The outdoor pool area is beautiful but my grandson would much prefer a heated pool. I love the friendliness of the staff and many of the members. I no longer use the programs, but I did enjoy Jackie Wallenberg's cross-train class back in the day. I typically use the treadmills and like the fact that there are several of them.
I like the Body Pump classes.
The lifeguards are there on the job very early which allows me to get my workout in before the pool becomes so crowded. I appreciate the job they do and their friendliness.
Before the summer hours and even after there are times when 3 or 4 people are in one lane in the rec pool. I don't mind sharing a lane with one other person but think it is unsafe to allow more than 2 people in one lane at a time. I wish management would consider setting some guidelines taking safety into consideration.

Everything
NO…Complaints
Morning water aerobics classes. What I do not like is the lack of communication between the water activities directors and the members. When we lost a Friday morning water aerobics instructor, instead of finding another instructor to take her place, the class was just cancelled even though we had about 20 people regularly attending!!
A cleaning of the inside of the lockers in the women’s locker room is greatly needed!!
The Ft. Ben offers a wide range of activities for all age groups.
