Member Testimonials
Lots of variety, something for everyone here. Yoga is my favorite, and these instructors, Heather and Mayu, understand that not every body moves the same way. Classes are made so all can do them! Also have enjoyed the chair yoga class, perfect when you are recovering! Sophia at the front desk is so friendly, I always feel welcome. Enjoy the book exchange added recently.
Indoor pool is a plus for cold days.
The coaches are very professional and the staff are helpful. Namely, Hannah, who was in the help desk near the pool (I think she is also a life guards and a coach) was so helpful and patiently answered all my questions and concerns on our first day that I felt extra comfortable and continuing to go to this YMCA (even though it is not my primary one and far)
I really like the pool, good size, depth of 4.5 ft. Aqua Fitness classes are great, even though sometimes I can't get in since they are so popular. Hopefully Aqua Zumba catches on so when I can't get in Aqua Fitness, I can get into Aqua Zumba. Glad to see so many time slots for lap swim and recreation in the pool.
So far I've only tried BodyPump, besides Aqua Fitness and Aqua Zumba. The instructor is great (wiona). Nice new equipment. Very crowded.
There are a lot of choices, the ease of on-line sign up, and the people that teach them
I love the instructors and the variety of classes offered for folks at all levels of fitness. I love that the culture is accepting and inclusive and I feel welcome here even as someone who has not been to a gym in a while.
Great classes, staff and community.
Kudos to all!
Great variety of classes offered, includes all levels of fitness, and people are very welcoming.
Swimming
Love the extended hours. Maybe close at 3pm instead of 1pm on holidays?
Big fan of Mayu and Heather's yoga classes. I'm only able to attend the 4:30 or later classes during the week.
Would appreciate a pilates class in the 4:30 or so slot during the week.
Not a fan of the makeover in the weight room. The multi gym is difficult for us smaller folks to use. The only multi gym I can now use is the one outside. And the multi gyms outside are too close together. It's tough to use some of the equipment when the other gym is being used.
And when the hot weather comes, it will be miserable to use that outside equipment. How about swapping the multi gym that was in the weight room with one of the new ones (and put one of the new ones outside).
I like the pool and the swimming lessons that are held there.
Everyone is very welcoming. Classes are varied and allow me to select the best ones for me.
Love it
The Southwest Y is a perfect fit for me. The best combination of solo fitness equipment, a wide variety of classes, great staff and friendly community.
The times work well for my schedule and the instructors are awesome.
Excellent instructors and classes
Everything! I like the instructors and coaches. They are excellent. All the staff act professionally, know how to help and guide and are personable. I like the variety and times of the programs. I like the personal trainers and sessions too.
Group classes and the awesome instructors
Nice variety of programs for alleges and fitness levels.
The variety of equipment, classes, and exercise programs available.
The YMCA Staff are awesome!
Aqua aerobics with Teresa and Kelly. They are the best.
I like that there are a variety of activities for all ages. I had no idea before I joined the YMCA just all that's available. I personally only come for the eGym, and at 71 I'm now in the best shape I've ever been in my life.
I like fhe pool facility for my rehab. and Gym has most of the free weights. and different sections for strength training v/s aerobics exercises. I love stretch room where I can do streches without being in the middle or strength training equipments.
Excellent selection of weight machines. Courteous and friendly staff. Very convenient hours of operation.
I'm currently participating in the Diabetes Provention Program. We meet weekly to discuss good and exercise. I am also working out each morning using the circuit.
The staffs are friendly. The programs are interesting.
There are a variety of different classes and activities, available at different times. Also everyone that works there is super friendly and helpful.
I wanted to call out coach Natalie who taught the level 6 swim lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:20 p.m. She is an incredible teacher. She does such a great job of balancing positive and constructive feedback with the students. Her feedback is incredibly detailed but also she phrases it in a way that even young children can understand clearly. She has great rapport with the kids and I've been so impressed with how much all the students in the class have grown under her tutelage. I'm sure she'll do great at every level, but I can confidently say that anyone who experiences her instruction at level 6 will leave the course feeling more confident and having gained solid skills.
Good teachers.
Highly recommended.
