It teaches our children the fundamentals and how to be good sports.
I like that it is fun for the girls and they build lasting relationships.
We really like and enjoy YMCA Sports
We have done youth volleyball for about 4 seasons and my daughter and my niece have both enjoyed it. I did have an issue with my daughters coach this time. She didn’t communicate but once a week very vaguely and on practice days she never introduced or broke the ice with the girls. She didn’t show them any plays and no support during games either. Myself and other parents would step in to practice with our kids. I know they volunteer their time but shouldn’t sign up for the commitment if they do t enjoy working with girls.
Love barre, wish you would have more barre classes on weekends.
It was rough in the beginning but after that. Everything went amazing
Convenient with great instructors. Great way to make new friends.
Well organized
Silver sneakers is a great program.
The childcare, staff, and classes are excellent. Equipment is clean and new. We love the Y!
Everything !
Clean and friendly
I love the exercise classes. I would like to see more mash up classes & even a Mommy & me barre class. A Saturday morning class would be perfect
I like that there's all kinds of equipment for cardio and that the childcare is available for a long time window. My child loves everyone there and I am able to find the equipment I want always open since there are so many.
All the staff are super friendly and informative. The child watch is great. No matter how long it’s been, they still know our little girl.
Only thing is there seems to be a couple treadmills, everytime I go, that the belt skips or lags and makes walking/running impossible on it. So you have to switch machines.
The atmosphere is contagious and staff is cordial and polite Just a good vibe
"BE APART OF SOMETHING GREAT!"
Nice variety of equipment. Friendly staff and members.
I like the Wednesday night yoda class and wish you did not take the Monday night one away! Body Flow is fine but I want yoga.
Being a senior besides the beautiful facilities,I enjoy the programs that catered to me
My teens both enjoy the group classes and my little loves the playhouse!
The instructors are very encouraging and caring. They try to give each one a personal feedback so you feel that you have someone following you. It's a huge motivator for my teen.
Many classes for the entire family, the times and programs offered are great, the activities are fun and bring families togheter and promote and encourage good health.
I really enjoy the Silver Sneakers classes. They really get you moving and work all parts of your body. Also, the people are super friendly.
Silver Sneakers keeps us engaged socially as senior adults while the exercises give us the obvious health benefits to our cardiovascular and pulmonary systems along with exercises that improve and maintain balance, coordination, memory and muscle strength. It believe it actually helps us have better emotional health as a result.
I love Zumba Gold classes for a more active workout through dance.
I love all the different classes the Y offers!!!
Variety
I have bad knees and I’m supposed to do bike or elliptical. So that’s what I come for. I lift small free weights at home. You always have enough equipment for everyone.
I have been going into the Y since 2017 and with the added aid of the personal trainer I've been seeing improvements in my endurance and fitness.
We recently moved to DFW from Birmingham, AL where we were members of the Y there and before that, Kansas City. We tried 24 Hour Fitness here first, simply because of the proximity to our home, but I was reluctant. I have been a member of the Y since my 20s and I am now in my 40s. I hated it. We lasted 3 months, myself hardly ever attending, because it didn't have the Y "feel." We are now back at the Y and loving it. I am back in my class, body pump, that I have always taken and feel right at home. I love Lainie. She does an amazing job in class and represents the Y like I am accustomed to - asking if I was new, had I done the class before, introducing herself. The front staff is always friendly, it is clean and the perfect size for me.
I also like the communications about what activities are coming up and available for children.
I do wish the body pump class offered mats like the Ys in Alabama and KC. Not yoga mats. They are uncomfortable on knees for push ups and backs for abs. The mats that I have always had are simply rectangular foam pads that stack up after class, not roll up and cram onto a shelf all sweaty and dirty.
Thanks for asking!!! :)
I don’t attend too many activities due to my work schedule but I know many are offered. And, the ones I’ve attended, were great! What makes them great is the staff! I workout 4-5 days a week and I’m always called by my first name and everyone there is so nice and helpful! Northpark YMCA is the best! Thank you! 😊
