Member Testimonials
I like all the classes and instructors at the Northwest YMCA. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It is a great place to work out. I know they are trying to hire more cleaning people. This is much needed. The YMCA was always stellar in their cleaning of the facility but that has declined in the past year. Very disappointing. Also the cycle classes are very popular. The bikes that need to be fixed quicker than they currently are. Also the E-gym is a nice addition.
I love the EGYM
The new EGYM circuit, trying to figure out how to do that and take advantage of a variety of classes and pool classes too. Now that I’m retired I can do during the day when most are offered. While working it was hard, there aren’t a lot offered in the evenings, it looks like that is changing a bit.
Lots of machines to choose from. Friendly personnel, large spacious parking, clean restrooms.
Very comforting
Lots of equipment, clean, pool, plenty of parking.
It’s a great facility!
Love the pools. Lots of machines to use.
Excellent facility with very nice staff.
Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Great fitness and youth offerings.
There is only one thing I don’t like. The men’s steam room and floors between locker room and pool needs to be cleaned. Power washed bi weekly
I like the welcoming staff at the membership desk when I arrive to the facility. They are always so friendly and call me by my first name.
The membership area and the front room is always clean and neat. There is plenty of coffee provided by staff in the morning to enjoy. Tables are available for Active Older Adults to sit together and enjoy each others company after a good workout in the morning, enjoying our delicious coffee. I feel the Y at Hal Welsh is a great place to make friends and socialise. I look forward to seeing my friends on a daily basis.
We like the many workout options in a safe clean environment
The staff and members are exceedingly friendly and helpful! The classes are very professional and fun to participate in!

It's nice professional and helpful
The Saturday morning Body Combat, and the Body Pump Classes.
I like the range of equipment and facilities at the Y, although I'd like a larger pool with more lanes. In addition, the staff is helpful and friendly so it's enjoyable to be a member.
I went to YMCA at OCC after not being there for quite some time. (Weather related}
I was greeted by a very nice and helpful staff member, and I cannot wait to go back so
I can take advantage of walking the track'
Thank you!
Full range of workout options.
25+ year Y member & Northwest YMCA is by far the leader.
Staff is always helpful and friendly.
Not to mention it is an easy commute and plenty of parking.
Thanks to all at Northwest who continue to make my visits rewarding.

Some of the ADULTS at the ymca feel the rules don’t apply to them. In workout room bring in bags jackets muddy boots and take over the table and chairs just inside door, up stairs on the track WALK TWO AND THREE ABREAST like they are the only ones there, can’t believe that people walk on the left side of hallway. Upstairs on track needs a broom more then once a week. There are people use the hair dryer to dry their whole bodies, and others who use 30 paper towels.
It’s too bad that adults act this way but they do. It’s a great gym but it’s too bad that it’s let these things slide.
Spacious. Busy but not crowded. Clean.

It's fairly new. Reception staff are friendly.
