Member Testimonials
Communication with the coaches in the YMCA Flag football league has been really good this season. I thought it was a strength of the organization last year as well. I like the addition of the advanced league this year. I believe they are doing a nice job of giving kids of all skill levels a chance to play the game for fun, while still providing a competitive atmosphere.

They have an amazing amount of equipment from beginners to advanced. Also the huge benefit is the pool for lap swimming and the many aquatic classes available.
I met with a trainer who first started me on arm exercises one day then several days later did leg exercises. I have knee problems-no cartilage or anything to cushion my knee joint. I didn’t know I was not to do leg exercises that would involve my knees. (I walk with a walker to decrease the pain in my knees when walking). Later that night I was having extreme knee pain in left knee and went to NKCHOSPITAL ER. They eventually got my left knee X-Rayed and radiologist said I had no broken bones in my knee but also absolutely no cushioning in it. I was aware both my knees were bone on bone already. And I know I’m going to have to have knee surgery at some point. I guess my point is I should have known not to do leg extensions. And I would think the trainer should be educated to be careful with people who come in with knee pain, and walking with a walker. I did come in asking for orientation to arm and leg exercises on the machines. I’ll see my Orthopedic Dr tomorrow to see if it might be time for knee replacements. I’m not upset about this because I know I need knee surgery. I still love the Y and plan on swimming laps and taking classes in the water which the trainer also talked to me about and gave me a paper on all the classes. Thanks for reading this long review!!!
