Member Testimonials
Large gym. Personal trainers.
The Semmes Y has SO MUCH to offer. To make it short, I get yoga, stretching, Pilates, body balance, Ping Pong and physical therapy in one place. To boot, the instructors are well qualified and I’m thrilled with what I’ve learned.
It’s one stop happiness for me! 😊
Great staff and a lot for everyone to do
Keeps me active.
There are plenty activities to do at the gym and the pool area is great for the family. We all enjoy going to the YMCA and be able to get active together.
The Y has a great Senior tennis program (ran by the Seniors, not the Y).
Many varied programs
Lots to choose from for all levels of fitness
They are the best
I appreciate that the programs and activities at the YMCA keep my son engaged and curious. The YMCA has also sparked a deeper interest in learning about God for my son.
The variet, great instructors
Friendly staff and my kids love the indoor swimming pool.
Being older with bad knees the aqua sports are the best. Aqua volleyball has really helped my knees. Glad the classes are in the morning due to not able to drive at night. I would like to suggest an Aqua FIT to add to our volleyball, zumba, classes in the day time. I think it will be a big hit.
Great trainer in Chris Mendoza
Maria at the front desk is AWESOME!!!
convenient, accessible, not too crowded
Offers variety
I really enjoy the stretch/balance class.
Racquetball for kids.
Friendly Staff and nice facility
The pool is very good. But you need to have afternoon hours every day through September 30.
Variety
The staff is very friendly, but more importantly very knowledgeable and resourceful. The one thing I cannot figure out is how to park closer to pool.
The facility is nice, clean, and organized. Free childcare is a huge benefit! There’s plenty of equipment for everyone, and so many options of ways to be active.
I use the child watch during my workouts and my children love it! I've had a wonderful experience going to the Najim YMCA, and will continue for as long as I can.
Good instructors in group class
Staff is great - e.g. Brandi, Caroline, etc / Maintenance crew is very thorough and hard working - Keoma, Lupita, etc. Facility is clean and the machines seem to be very well maintained. All employees are friendly and go out of their way to help with requests and issues that arise.
Free weights! Swimming, Yoga!!
I love the classes!!! They give me a sense of direction and something to look forward to. I do wish there was some offered between 12-2 as that’s when I’m most open to go, but other than that the Y is great and I’ve already got my mom to join and do classes with me.

Good classes and great instructors
