I have been going to the Southwest Family YMCA lately to swim laps. I love the outside lap pool. It’s peaceful in the morning and a great temperature. Clean as well. Lifeguards are friendly and conscientious. Also the front desk staff is very kind and helpful. Oh, and I sued the upstairs area for stretching, warmup, etc. It was clean and well equipped, and I appreciate it especially while the downstairs weight room is being renovated.

The adult swim class, I've had some very good instructors like Ilsie and Gabriel. I'm on the wait list for the Adult basics for September that is on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:40 to 7:20. It's the best time to coordinate with my work schedule. I hope I can get in.
Thanks

I like the quiet and clean atmosphere at the southwest facility.

However, some people with cell phones will sit on an exercise machine and look at their phones for long times (more than 4 minutes) and this is a very selfish act. Perhaps a sign can be posted to remind these people that other members would appreciate less cell phone use when using a machine.

Absolutely love the outdoor lap pool! The lanes are nice and wide amd the water temperature is wonderful! I also like having the weight machines and cardio equipment available for use. I’m looking forward to the “upgrade” that’s scheduled later this month.

I love the fitness classes, the pool, and the child watch staff and program!

I do have one piece of feedback: I was an avid user of the upstairs exercise space for low-key strength and stretching. It looks like the YMCA staff recently moved all of the exercise bikes upstairs into that area, making it virtually unusable aside from cycling. Before this change, I noticed that this was a high traffic area, heavily used by older folks and those looking for a quieter place to stretch or move their bodies, aside from the downstairs strength training space and the track. The first floor is often very crowded and loud, and less friendly for people looking for a more private area.

This won’t change my membership status, but it will definitely affect how I use the YMCA and how frequently I come. It will also reduce my use of the track. I imagine that for some it is a pretty big dealbreaker! If at all possible, I would strongly suggest going back to the way it was up until the spring of 2025. Thanks!

Desire more parents night out nights, easier website navigation, and longer hours for child play. I enjoy the teachers, affordable healthy snacks, cleanliness. Sometimes the pool closures really interrupt our routine. Just hoping the construction makes it easier to get to soon! Parking can also be very tricky. Encourage drivers to watch for children and families.
