Good yoga and Pilates. I like the new Nia classes. Not enough classes on Sunday. The senior fitness class MWF at 10:10, I would like to see one different instructor a little variety would help that class three days a week of the same instructor is boring and repetitive Technically there is too much of Rebecca dominating the yoga classes on the weekday mornings She is very good but a little variety would help. I feel that a light weight lifting class for seniors or out of shape people would be a good addition
Location and time s
Variety of programs for children and adults!
I like the accessibility of the YMCA's and the workout classes available for members.
I like that you open your doors to the disabled
Overall I was satisfied with the swim program. The last session my son was in didn't give a certificate of skills he had accomplished. I appreciated the certificate the first session he took lessons as I wasn't able to sit and watch him complete each lesson. It was helpful knowing the skills so we could continue to work on them.
We done the swimming lessons and gymnastics we like the YMCA. We are considering trying volleyball and basketball.
The swimming instructors are very patient and their enthusiasm is so helpful in getting the kids to let down their guard.
I like the variety of indoor adult classes for days I don’t want to swim laps.
The instruction is great and my children are progressing. The communication with staff and parents could be better. It is challenging to schedule for upcoming months without knowing how my child will progress. Sami Jo has been a great hire!! She is very helpful and responsive to questions.
The instruction is great and my children are progressing in learning to swim. the communication between parents and instructors could use some work. It is challenging to schedule for the upcoming month without knowing how and when my child will improve a level.
they are great
The pool is really neat.
Skilled instructors. Small class sizes. Kids were promoted as soon as they were ready to move up. We didn’t have to wait until the next session.
Good classes to choose from
Step!

Arthritis water class
I like having a place where I can so water aerobics and, especially during these triple-digest days of August, have an air conditioned, smooth-surfaced indoor track on which, when my health permits, I can walk. I like the southwest Y’s (generally) friendly staff (except for Joe McNeeley, who no longer makes eye contact or otherwise acknowledges my existence. And I like summertime water aerobics in the outdoor pool under the big trees!
The principal thing I don’t like is the quality of the water aerobic instructors fortheMo day, Wednesday, and Friday classes at 8:00 or 8:15 a.m. Jolyn Turner, especially is all-around awful. Things are better during the six mo ths of the year that she’s on vacation! Kathleen is dull and barely understandable. Alyda is the best of the bunch, but that’s not saying much. And I don’t like that each class seems to be under 5he complete control of its instructor — or class members — with respect to location and perhaps start time.
And while I understand why classes have to be moved from 8:15 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. in June, when kids take over the outdoor pool at 9:00 a.m. But there seems to be no reason for 5he earlier start in J7l6 and August.
Wide range of options at an affordable price while knowing that my money is going to a good cause as well. Parking could be better though.
It was nice to have a small class although it sounds like it’s not usually like that.
Swim instructor Peggy was amazing.
Great instructor (Ms Peggy) for working with young kids. Great price and diverse family friendly environment.
