Silver Sneaker classes
I like the seniors classes
The Silver Sneakers class is very good for me. Keeps me able to do things I probably would not be able to do if not for the class. I am 86 and still able to do yard care and activities to care for home and family. Shopping and cooking and cleaning. If I were to fall, I can get up with no assistance; unlike my sister who is 10 years younger who is diabetic.. And I enjoy the fellowship with the class members. And, Donna, who is a great leader. She makes the class fun while improving our health and strength. I look forward to the luncheon at month end. Janet
Silver sneakers classes!
Don’t have to wait 30 minutes to use a machine. The weights are in another room
I like the teachers for Monday night Body Pump and Tuesday/Thursday Zumba.
Everything
The staff is very professional and friendly.
Instructors are great.
Instructors and front desk personnel are awesome!
I love everything about the Y... especially the classes... everyone is friendly.. Its a place where you feel comfortable being friendly to everyone as well. Paige is a great but tuff Barre teacher and Carol is a great soft yoga teacher..
Equipment is working and clean. Staff are friendly.
I really enjoy the zumba and cardio power classes taught by Amy W. She is a wonderful instructor and makes classes fun. Also, everyone is very friendly at this Y.
Classes
Small group exercise classes.
The YMCA family is the best!!! I attend classes three or four times a week, which have the best staff to see and meet the needs of their members. It is a family atmosphere!!!
The friendly atmosphere,employees always willing to help.
Nice environment
This month is my wife’s and my 1 year anniversary at the Northwest YMCA, and what a fantastic year it’s been.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, working there is incredibly helpful and inviting. From Arturo checking us in first thing in the morning for our cycling class, to the friendly “see you tomorrow” when we leave. There are a few folks we’d like to call out as we’ve spent much time with them this year.
Donna: She is a machine! Her humor and motivation in her Cycling, Young at Heart and Silver Sneakers makes us not want to miss a day of her classes. Her commitment to the various AOA activities is also inspirational and very much appreciated.
Carol: We also LOVE to attend Carol’s Gentle Yoga and Summer Swim Classes. Again, she adds a good mix of humor and motivation to keep us coming back to her classes.
Crystal: We recently signed up for Personal Training sessions with Crystal. What a fantastic person she is. Like Donna and Carol, she’s friendly, humorous and motivational which keep us on track to reaching our health goals. She pushes us to do more, but is great with checking in to make sure we’re not over-doing things. Her knowledge of the body is awesome!
Another important thing we’ve noticed at the YMCA is the camaraderie the instructors and staff have helped build within the members themselves. The first time we stepped into a class we were greeted by longtime members who were not only welcoming, but also helpful in getting us set up with the right equipment for the class. People check in on one another and are concerned if someone misses more than a couple of classes. We can see the many friendships that have been built here, which is also a motivation for folks to keep coming back and stay active. This really shows the community built by your staff and organization.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts and experiences with you. Keep up the great work and look for us to happily continue to come in for years to come.
Multiple requests have been asked for spin bikes to be serviced !!!!!!!!!!
Nothing happens.
So it mentally annoying to have a goal each week and one cannot rely on results on a bike.
Calories wrong , miles wrong ,resistance has a mind of it own, etc., etc. ,etc.
The only thing anyone can rely on it support of spin group.
'' Well at least you are here , just keep spinning ".
North West YMCA ,incase you forget where we are.
We have a great group of people here and always meet and great and encourage each other all their journey to go health.
Hope you have a good day and help us with our spin bikes. Thank you
fully equipped, clean, friendly staff, great programs, nice location.
They're great - comprehensive and of high quality. The Northwest YMCA promotes an atmosphere of inclusion and friendliness.
Great instructors
There's something for everyone here! I like the workout equipment and the parents night out programs the most.
The classes and machines. Our pilates class has been pushed into a little room on Tuesday and Thursdays a long time. People in the class made suggestions and doesn't look like anyone made any effort to change it.
There seems to be a lack of communication.
I love the friendly staff and the Tai Chi class with Jay. He narrates what he is doing throughout the exercise, and it is very helpful.
Sports programs , scholarship programs, exercise classes, helpfulness of staff, equipment options.
The personal training and the class variety.
Great Zumba/ Cardio Power classes and instruction!!!! Nice staff!!!!
I love Amy's classes.
Cardio Power and her Zumba classes.
Keeps me interested and GREAT workouts. Also a way to meet new people!
I want to stay active.
Everyone there seems to be very friendly and helpful.
