Member Testimonials
I’m a regular pickleball person, appreciate the times we have reserved. Plan on starting the exercise machines in Sept.
The facility is always clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, the hours are faithfully maintained, and the equipment is modern and kept in good working order. What’s not to like about that!!
Wide variety of classes and fitness levels
Instructor friendly classes
I go to many of Miki's classes -- they are fabulous! I also use the pool and whirlpool -- always neat, tidy and clean! Thank you for making the Y such a congenial and safe place for all of us!
Something for everyone and all abilities. Friendly staff.
I love the atmosphere at the Y and enjoy the exercise classes as well.
Great people. Great facilities. Low cost.
Hours of operation, cleanliness of facility
Never crowded. Excellent classes offered. Wonderful childcare. I’m sorry I’m only recently started coming here.
Pickleball
The facility is bright, clean and not overly crowded. The pool is clean and not overly chlorinated. Staff is friendly. We drive out of our way when we can to visit Cowart because the Carl Sanders facility is so overrun, poorly designed, the pool is dirty and way over chlorinated and the general experience is unsatisfactory.
Lloyd Dunkin’s dance classes !
Childcare (need more capacity on Saturdays though)
Supportive and collegial which is important at any age but more so when you get older
The people at the Y actually care about members. It’s not just the money.
Very convenient and informative about what is going on...
Love all the programs and exercise equipment. The staff is great and the place is so very clean always. Always enjoyable.
Great variety of programs for active adults.
I like the clean space of the workout area and the friendly people who work at Cowart Family YMCA.
Water aerobics and water Zumba; gentle yoga
Beyond the programs, the staff at this location is welcoming and supportive. The facilities are excellent.
Exercise instructors, classes, and workout machines
Great group exercise classes, great activities for 55+ group, friendly and caring staff!!!
I like the Cowart Y because you don't have to register 24 hours in advance to be assured of a space in a class.
Many group classes
I’m fairly new to the Y, and so far I’m enjoying the classes I’ve tried. The instructors were engaging and the level of the class was as advertised.
Love the Pickleball program
Nice facility with helpful staff. Would be better if they would hire water aquatic instructors for morning water aerobics
I’m new but was greatly impressed on first visit. Friendly staff.

I enjoy the atmosphere! The staff is friendly, the facility is clean, and there are always equipment available for my workout! I also enjoy the diversity at the Y. It is a place for all to experience on their wellness journey!
