There is something for everyone.
I have been a member of the Northwest YMCA since my retirement in January 2016. I found the AOA (Active Older Adults) program and my life changed dramatically for the better. Absolutely LOVE the AOA exercise instructors--so personable and knowledgeable about what our aging bodies need. Socially I have met tons of new friends and met my absolute BEST friend here.
The Zumba Gold, Fit for Life and Line Dance classes are all done to fabulous music and my body shows the results of my dedication to attending classes Monday through Friday. Love the extra AOA events as well such as monthly Bingo and the monthly potluck lunches which all have a theme. This month since it is January is Elvis themed. Oh, and I have a January birthday so all of us who celebrated a birthday during the month of January will be recognized. Northwest YMCA is the place to be!

The variety of classes and the instructors as well as the personal trainers.
Staff is wonderful
I like this YMCA because there is a variety of classes for each age group. I like the friendly staff and trainers and overall atmosphere. I like all of the extra activities outside of the exercise realm. What I have observed is that because there has been a population growth in the area, the NW YMCA is shrinking. The classes are filled to capacity and the equipment is squeezed too close together. The building needs to be upgraded to accommodate the growth.

Great people! The instructors as well as fellow members. Facilities are always clean and provides the assurance of a healthy atmosphere. Programs are timed well and announcements keep us up to date on any changes or extra activities.
