The days and time’s available
Senior classes
I am not sure how the parking gate code is available.
I asked, and attendant wrote it on a piece of paper.
How do I get the new code?
When do you change the code?
Been a member under my wife's membership for I'm guessing almost 20 years and love all the programs. Until covid was an avid body Pumper RPM class and spin yoga and other ancillary programs.
I just like to be able to come over in the mornings and work out.
I enjoy swimming, lifting weights and using the elliptical machines at the downtown Y.
I've been a member since the 1990s.
When my family joined, the Y was open on Sunday afternoons.
Please re-open the facility on Sundays.
Sunday is a day of rest; physical activity is restful and relaxing.
Also, please return the later hours we enjoyed prior to the covid epidemic,
The Y was open till 9 p.m. on week nights.
Let's bring back the old schedule.
All silver sneaker and chair yoga classes.
I love the water exercises and the instructor is great.

For the most part I am pleased with the YMCA. I feel like we are getting back to-pre covid culture. I really like the front desk staff. I would love to see you be open on Sundays.
FYI - I am a business analyst by trade and do some work on "customer experience". One of the tools used in that context is a "journey map". I recently wanted to get more experience in journey maps and created one for YMCA based on what a person who uses the YMCA a Fitness Center might perceive. Some of the data is made up, and some is my perspective, but the point is It shows a wholistic experience of a member like me. I am by no means an expert in this area, but would be happy to explain and share with you the journey map I created.
I love the friendliness of the staff. It always feels like coming home!
I love that the indoor pool temp is lower than the Ryan or the Benbrook pools. It's hard to jump in the at the start of my workout but swimming laps is actually possible without overheating.
I also like the swim distance challenge this year. I got a late start but it's been nice to push myself a little further each workout over the year. I'm already looking forward to how much further I'd be able to go next year.
Great
Body balance and pickle ball are my favorites and the people running those programs also.

Helpful staff (most important)
Good machines
Good class options.

Warm historic atmosphere
My wife Swims and I play racketball 3 days a week - and we are OLD. So many people -of all ages, ethnicities, and races - actively engage in all sorts of fitness programs, and the enthusiastic excitement and the sound of chortling children throughhout the building make the Y a welcoming and friendly home away from home. We love it.
