Member Testimonials
I appreciate that there are more “coach approach” friendly classes than ever before. I love the coach approach efforts and the offering of food for life program. I really appreciate that the Y has closed its swimming lessons to non members. It was too crowded in the gym with non paying members and hard to get into classes. I also appreciate how they now have sign ups for swim at the first of the month. A MUCH easier understanding of when and how to get on that roster.
Variety
Friendly, flexible and a variety of classes
The variety of the classes. Water aerobics is really fun.
Staff are outstanding the instructors are helpful and the camaraderie between the members. That’s great.
Nice set up with easy access to resources like the pool, treadmills, weights. Friendly staff are very much appreciated.
The class instructors are absolutely the best! I love the classes. The people who work at the front desk are always so friendly and helpful, always greeting members with a smile and a hello and a good-bye when we leave.
I wish we had Tai Chi at the Northwest Y.
I love everything about YMCA
The range of motion - stretch class led by Kahlil is the best. That class supplements my regular workouts in the gym on the other days. The sociability around the round table keeps me coming back and many thanks to Elizabeth for keeping the coffee pot full.
The instructors are knowledgeable about the classes they are teaching.

I love Yfit and the instructor Todd. He does a fantastic job picking out new workouts for us each day. He is very knowledgeable in the fitness world and provides very thorough instruction so we don’t get injured. We also love the swim team and Coach Diana! She makes swimming fun and my son is constantly improving his times.
I appreciate the "coach approach" exhibited by all the folks I've been fortunate to work with in the swim aerobics classes. I think you're trying to listen as to what folks' concerns (not sure how you fix the number of people doing classes vs slots open), but I appreciate the help given so often in many ways.

The atmosphere and focus on overall health.
I love that aire fitness is an option on weekday mornings and 2 evenings a week. I hope that continues to be the case. I love the variety of fitness classes.
The classes are done multiple times on different days that allow you to take on each time or another day if you miss. There is a track to walk while you wait for your class or after while you wait on your partner. Staff is helpful and the place stays clean. They offer something for all ages.
