Member Testimonials
Water aerobics available almost every day, Geri-fit with Miki twice a week, a sense of accomplishment and community
It's the staff that really makes this Y special. Everybody is super helpful and very encouraging. They're willing to take the time to show you how to do things or use a machine. They never act like they are too busy. I really like the fact that everybody says hello to you when you walk in. It's really the staff that makes this special.
I like doing the Geri-fit classes that Miki Joyner teaches. It is helping me a lot. Also, I do the machines and walk the track.
I use many group ex classes.
Best
The group classes are just what I was looking for to get started moving. Pilates, barre, gentle yoga, older adult strength, and stretch(my favorite so far!) are taught by wonderful instructors. I felt welcomed by friendly people in every class.
Strength, classes, cardio, strength, classes, Zumba, yoga, Pilates. I do wish there were more cardio strength classes instead of just Tuesday and Thursdays during the week I typically don’t work out on Thursdays so I wish they had a Friday class too.
Everything the provide for example Hit class yoga’s so on
Clean and quiet environment
Everything! The Y really cares about the community it serves. The people are kind, the facilities are beautiful, and we have made lifelong friends through our Y membership!
Variety and availability of group classes
Great selection of classes and instructors.
The wide array of activities and the times that they are offered. It would be great to have more cycling offered in the afternoons. Instructors, for the most part, are excellent, especially Anna (cycling Mon and Tues evenings at 5) and Grace (Floor Pilates and Active Senior Strength on Tues AM at 0830 and 0930) are excellent.
Norma’s yoga classes are amazing!
We like that there are so many treadmills and machines to work on. We rarely if ever have an issue finding a free machine. I love the walking programs on the treadmills giving me variety in my workout.
The quality and consistency of the group program Instructors is top notch.
Overall very good
Y instructors are amazing! 99% of the time the staff is cheerful, greet you coming and going, and go out of their way to be helpful if you have a question. In particular, Stacey and Micki are awesome! Their classes are always packed because they come prepared, interact with participants and just make it fun to be there. Thank you “my Y family”!
Variety for all
Friendly and knowledgeable staff
Senior classes, snack chats, lunch-n- learn sessions, field trips? Instructors, encouragement,!and the friendships ,
Fantastic teachers!!! And they always show up to teach their class (this was a problem in the other places I belonged). They make the classes fun as well as a great workout. The clientele is friendly and fun. The facility is clean.
you make youth sports focused on fun and experience -- instead of the need for status of competing on a select team
The pool was great!
Over the years, I have made many friends who participate in the same classes. Good to see them, good to see instructors that are consistent with their attendance and workouts.
I like seeing our diverse crowd. Not just in ethnic or cultural differences, but age, education and income. All types of folks come to the Cowart Y: tall, short, young, old, fit and maybe not-so-fit. All looking for connection and their 'place' in the community. All are welcome here.
I love that diversity and the different levels that are available. I also Love, how professional all the personal and instructors are, they are most likely to have a smile in their faces Every time One interacts with them
Swim team has been great so far with our daughter. She enjoys Coach Kayla and is excited for practice
Variety of classes for various ages. Class instructors do a great job
Great programs all around!
I am a member for more then 20 years. I never wanted to change, although there were offers in other places with much cheaper membership. YMCA is a second family, it is friendship, neighborhood, and mutual assistance. It is not about money, it is about harmony of body and soul
Lots of learning events for seniors. Weight and cardio area large enough to accommodate members.
I enjoy attending classes
