Member Testimonials
I do mostly spin cycle class and utilize the weight room. Cowart is my main Ymca but I do visit Fowler every now and then and have nothing but good things to say about the instructors and the value that YMCA provides the local community. And the spin instructors particularly Christina and Claudia make you want to show up on the days you don’t want to and that makes all the difference.
I appreciate the coaches/personal trainers. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Facility is very clean
Barre, Pilates fusion classes
Good clean facilities
I like the online booking system for the swim lanes
I like that I can workout or go to a class. Anna's barre class is wonderful :)
The way you can schedule your lap swimming lane
Reserve lanes for pool
I like the free-weight area; it’s new and neat. You don’t have to wait to use equipment. My wife likes divider between the treadmills.
There are activities for children of all ages, the gym is always clean, and the staff is always kind.
Gym
Variety of programs and excellent facilities.
I love the Cowart Y. Your Covid protocols gave me the confidence to attend when Covid cases were really high . Your instructors like Miki J, Grace M, Christina M, and Katie V. are excellent.
Exercise is essential to good physical and mental health.Covid has created an atmosphere where people were more isolated .
Having the Y available has improved my health both physically and mentally.
The Y also gives back to the community.
Thank you Metro YMCA!
Classes!
The Cowart Y has everything needed: free weights, machines, classes for all levels, plenty of cardio, basketball, indoor pool, etc
That is all great, but the Cowart Y team puts my rating to a 10+. They are always happy to see you, remember names, encourage a community vibe, and are helpful and knowledgeable about their offerings.
I would guess the only thing missing is an outdoor pool, but that was never expected.
Thank you for all you do!
The peleton is awesome! The staff is friendly, and the childcare staff (specifically Sanju) is amazing!

The workout machines.
There are several best things about the Cowart Family Y
The first thing is the friendly greeting and smile you receive when you finally return after 2 years of pandemic seclusion. Check in desk, membership desk, everyone takes time for a greeting.
Next, the group classes. They have expanded the senior classes and ALL the instructors are very professional and make the classes as much fun as exercise can be. They make sure we are working hard but not getting hurt. They are all very caring. I have classes with Claire and Norma and have now added Teri and Shawnee.
Miki encourages everyone to try new classes and listens patiently to our concerns.
Before the pandemic the Y was a big social part of the senior community. Now it is exciting as we see friends that we haven't seen in 2 years.
Thank you, Y, for putting in a lot of effort to make this return possible.
