Member Testimonials
The staff is wonderful. I love senior fitness classes with Kristi M and Jack. Also, love Carolina Aqua Zumba...wish there was more than one class per week. Thank you for opening up 2 aqua fitness classes at 10:00am. I can finally participate.
E gym is a great program. Looking forward to trying other classes.
Love the towel service, it's a big plus. Pool is kept at a good temperature.
Easy to use scheduling app. Clean facilities.
Special recognition to Hannah, lifeguard at Southwest. One of the most conscientious, professional employees I have met. Before I retired, I had almost 100 employees at my company. I would have hired her in a heartbeat!
Classes, weights
Love the gym equipment outside but u need spray bottles out side and more inside to wipe equipment. Yuck
Everyone has been very welcoming.
ll the employees are patient, good and kind. The E-Gym which is a series of electric weight training machines that motivate users to hit their targets by following a graphical model of organized weight training systems. I have never seen a new system for weight training to be embraced by as many folks and such a broad base of users as this system.
I go for one class because I a 81 years old and it is crucial: Balance class. It really helps!
Good value for the money
Large variety of classes to choose from.
Good variety for older members. Scheduled at convenient times.
Convenient ability to work out all week. Equipment well maintained.
Great staff. Clean facility. Well maintained. Good class offerings, and plenty of them. Especially like Glitz Dance and Zumba Gold (with Aileen).
I have started with the LiveStrong program at the Y earlier this year. The instructors for the program were amazing and helped change my mindset on exercising and want to improve my life for the better. After the program I have continued with the membership at the Y. I am feeling good mentally and physically because I like to come to the Y to exercise and see the instructors and people that I have met there.
Everyone is very friendly and helpful if there are any questions. It has a wonderful atmosphere
Variety of programs and times/days.
I like the variety of classes, and the number of available classes to choose from, and the instructors are exceptional.
Lots of programs for everyone. Great staff, all very helpful and keen to help. Welcoming environment. Would like more signs related to cellphone usage as this is very distracting and also dangerous in certain instances.Working out while on the phone is like driving or texting while on the phone.
I love the Aqua Fitness classes
I love the water aqua aerobics classes. We have the best instructors. It's a great place to be. Southwest Y feels like a private club.
I love the staff, the classes and the equipment, and all the members. Everyone is so friendly
Nice pool. I enjoy lap and rec swimming.
I take a couple of classes for seniors. The problem is that many times the classes are so full because there are so many members participating (facility not large enough for more classes). Parking is a real problem. You have to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your class to find a spot down the street.
Love the AquaFit classes and the instructors for those classes.
My trainer (Jeni) is outstanding. She structures my workout to just what I need, includes music to make it fun, and effective. I look forward to working. Thanks.
Great exercise classes, E-Gym is great too. Nice helpful staff.
Friendly and welcoming staff..
Great aqua fitness instructors.
The instructors are better than at other Ys.
Family
Excellent instructors of exercise classes.
Good diversity of influences and variety. Tries to be accessible and inclusive. Includes some being outdoors, as suitable, so the irreplaceable weather is made use of and appreciated. Likewise with some options to go to nearby attractions; for example, hikes and Mountain View stage productions. Includes staying well or growing mentally, such as having occasional speakers relevant to some life tasks, and reading and games clubs. Has some connections through members’ simultaneous participation in, or directly with, other parts of the community beyond this YMCA.
Great gym
