Everything
I love the classes
I like that you see people in all stages of their fitness/exercise journey. I never feel uncomfortable.
The staff is great! The facility is very clean and organized. Management is really doing a great job! I come here for these reasons, and will to continue to come here as long as the bar is this high.
Swim
I like the accessibility and family friendliness.
Schedule of activities
Love the water aerobics! Plenty of classes available (but always room for more😄) Great sense of community!
Dance was a wonderful experience. Hip hop especially kept my daughter entertained and she looked forward to it each week. She also loved ballet and tap, although, because of the nature of that type of dance, it was a little slow for her. That is not to say that the instructor did anything wrong. She did an amazing job keeping the kids engaged and having them do fun activities while also leaning the foundations of dance. I would definitely recommend. 10 out of 10.
I like the group classes especially Zumba and Pilate
I like that there is something for all of us at the Y. My son plays basketball, my daughter will be taking dance lessons when she turns two, and I take the group fitness classes as often as I can. My husband also enjoys the gym!
There seems to be a good variety of activities
Take classes, swim, weight training.
I love the water aerobics. Facility is very clean and doesn’t smell like a gym.
I use the gym on a regular basis and I take part in the spin classe offered on Mon. And Wed. The staff are very pleasant and people are always willing to help. Great place to be.
The new Y is a great place to workout and has the best equipment
I like the variety of classes offered and there is always an interesting class to take at lots of times throughout the day. I like how early the faculty opens
All of the above. Convenience, quality availability and friendliness of staff. I have recommended this location to several people and my neighbor actually joined a couple of weeks ago
Staff is ready and able to help with any issue you have as you are exercising. The equipment is in good conditionand the facility is very clean. Staff at the reception desk is very welcoming.
Les Mills classes, especially Body Bump
I appreciate the friendliness of staff and their quick response to issues.
Great classes and choices of machines.
Water zumba, weight equipment.
the water aerobics is fun!
We like the new gym and the warm Instructional pool. We would love to see the Instructional Pool open before water aerobics in the morning, before the sun is so strong.
Always great staff and classes. Wide variety of choices of classes. Timing of classes are great
I love the group fitness classes at the Bardmoor YMCA such as Body Pump, RPM, GRIT, Tone, Body Combat. The boot camp classes by David & Bria are excellent total body workouts. Paula Burns has the best Zumba classes. Paula creates a fun & energetic environment with great Zumba music. Bardmoor has many wonderful fitness instructors (Sarah Cliff, Davida & Adam Noble, George Mora, Bria Barkalow, Mohammed B, John Garcia).
I hope that the bikes for the RPM classes will be changed to a different brand. The seats and handlebars are uncomfortable. I realize they may not be changed for several more years, but I wanted to mention it.
Thank you for being an awesome YMCA!
Excellent overall experience. Great facilities, people, locker rooms, pool, and programs.
Would suggest some improvements to weight machines. Some are good but in high demand. Others (chest press) are decidedly not good. Would add and/or swap out certain machines.
Machines are important in light of the broad range of the Y's clientele - many of us (read older) don't prefer free weights but would benefit from more access to quality weight machines.
Overall, the Speer Y is a tremendous community asset.
I love that the pool is open early
