The thing I like the most is that the heated outdoor pool is open year round. Also, the staff and especially the executive director are extremely helpful.

Convenient, family friendly, and swimming pools year round.

I would like to see the kinesiology class resume,
I would also like a senior weight class added. This is perhaps motr imported than any other senior class you offer.
I like the variety of programs available at reasonable prices
I love that Southwest Y has Sunday classes and also the indoor running/walking track. It's a little far from me but whenever I have the time on Sundays, I like that option is available to me.
Water aerobics
Hot tub
friendliness
sense of community
We enjoy the walking path and the gym equipment, friendly staff and the fact that there is no music playing.
Family friendly, friendly atmosphere
I am only doing gentle yoga twice a week plus walking the track as well on those days. Rebecca B could use a bigger room on Wednesdays at 1110 as the class fills up and she has to turn away people due to the room filling up. She does a magnificent job but the room is too small.
Those that lead our exercise classes our very knowledgeable and so kind. I love the friends I have made in my classes. They encourage me to attend and make me accountable.
I love the variety of programs, although I have only participated in the aqua fit with Shauna. I adore her in the class!
The women’s locker room could use better daily upkeep and maintenance, however. Last time I was there, I could not take a shower in the women’s locker room because two maintenance men were working on them. That was poor planning on the wise part because it coincided with the aqua fit class which is precisely when more people will need to shower then when there is not a pool activity. Probably the best time for such major maintenance and repairs would be after the Y has closed at night….
I’m excited to see what the new paint job will bring to the facility. So far, it looks good.
I also appreciate the fact that this particular why does not have Bibles or biblical verses or other religious symbols or verbiage around. The last Y that I went to in another state had that stuff and I was very uncomfortable around it. It’s not that I am not a believer or religious and spiritual person. I just don’t want that stuff around a place where I’m working out and attending to my own health and welfare, because it felt like force, feeding rather than supportive.
I hope all this information helps.
I like the group workout classes and the child watch center.
quality of teachers, variety of classes
I like them very much
I love them all!
The pool and inside walking track
I only use the outdoor pool and I love it. I love that it is outdoors and that it is heated year-round. The lifeguards are attentive.
More morning Hathaway yoga like there used to be.
Rebecca’s class is too crowded and too late.
Lots of group exercise class choices.
I like that this Y has an indoor track, great for days when the weather is bad or brutal hot. There is also a sauna that I have not used yet, but will at some point.
The area upstairs that has a few pieces of equipment and the resistant weights is nice as well.
The sauna has roaches
I Loved the walking area and the pool. I enjoy going.
I love the diversity of programs and all the instructors are so kind. The YMCA feels like home ever time I enter!
I also love having access to a sauna especially during the winter months.
I have tried out a few classes at the YMCA (cycling being my favorite please add more cycling classes!!) There are still so many classes I want to try!
I also do majority weight lifting at the YMCA and y’all have one of the best weight rooms I’ve been to. So much access to different machines and a variety of weights!
It's just a peaceful place to get away for the afternoon or evening. Atmosphere is pleasant and very nice staff. Enjoy it greatly when I can make it out there. SW YMCA keep up the great joint effort to make your YMCA our home away from home. Thank you
I would highly recommend the Aqua Fit class for Seniors thrice a week as it has helped me with my arthritis & lower back issues.
good people and a nice facility
