Member Testimonials

Both Glenwood and Downtown locations make working out a convenience. I am thankful to have the benefit of multiple locations and equipment for my workouts.

I enjoy the friendships I have made while attending the Y 3 times per week for exercise. The Y staff is friendly and helpful. Recently our class, Basic and Brief had some concerns about getting a new instructor. Nancy Jo addressed our concerns and assured our class she was working on replacing our instructor. Nancy Jo came to class and informed us that we will soon have new instructors. Thank you for your time and attention. I am looking forward to continuing to attend the Y.

We are thrilled that Brandy has been such a great influence on our granddaughter. Our granddaughter has immensely improved in her swimming.

Friendliness

Enjoy the classes

Everything. The members and staff are good people. Nice culture and positive environment for social time. Good variety of classes. Class instructors are highly competent and fun. Facility is large enough with plenty of equipment in good working order. Grateful to have learned how to play pickle ball and have plenty of court time daily.

I like the silver sneaker classes. Curtis is an awesome instructor.
The classes are getting pretty crowded
More classes would help

The great lifeguards in the family pool. More importantly, the warmth of the pool enables me to do therapy exercises for my back. I also enjoy the friends I've made at the pool.

However, the floors in the women's locker room are filthy. I also suggest more signage in the locker room about no cell phone usage. It's easy to overlook the ones displayed in the entrance to the locker room. I'd have given the Y a ten except for these 2 issues

Welcoming experience. Great facility.

close to home and options for a good work out

I enjoy/love my Silver Sneakers classes with Curtis. He doesn’t treat us according to our age. He makes us work hard and does give us modifications as needed.

I have been going to the Y for several years and I have met friends there. I usually ride a stationary bike, but many of them need to be replaced. Before Covid I took a class which I really enjoyed.

Work out equipment

Curtis is the best instructor I’ve ever had. All the staff is very friendly. It’s just a nice place to go.

It's a great place to meet a wife. I met Carol Decker in 2007 when worked at the front desk. Her smile, friendly demeanor (and I admit, her incredible beauty) led me to ask her for a date. She accepted and with Jesus leading us, about a year later we married. In May of this year, we'll celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary, and although you may not believe it, but it's true none the less, we are still on our honeymoon. These past years have been the happiest years of my life, and I thank God for his presence in our relationship.
Side note: we both served on the Christian Emphasis Committee at Glenwood for quite a while under the leadership of Tammy Crawford and the support of Jim McElhenney (sp?).
I continue to attend Glenwood a couple times a week even though I'm no longer looking for a wife.

I participate in Silver Sneakers with Curtis Jones. Curtis makes the class fun and challenges each participant to work at his or her own level. He explains each exercise fully and makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

Curtis is the reason many of us keep coming back every week. The Y is lucky to have him! That class and the friendliness of the members and staff are what I most enjoy about the Y.

I enjoy swimming laps in the large pool at the Glenwood branch of the YMCA.

I am not a member. I go to the Y to watch my grandchildren play basketball.

Helpful staff and nice members, especially Will

The pool classes and chair aerobics

Love Curtis classes. He is so nice and helpful, gives you lots of options for exercises!

Front desk personnel are always pleasant and welcome you and wish you a good day when leaving!

Thank you for a wonderful, friendly place to exercise.
