I LOVE the classes. Thank GOD for THEM!!!
The instructors are all wonderful and love what the do. They are consistent and loving. Every class they give their best and push us to give our best.
When the other Y closed you worked it out with more classes and times.
The flexible schedule of classes. If you miss a class you can pick up another one later.
friendly staff
Close 2 my house
Everything is clean and well updated
Range of activities for all ages and physical abilities; reasonable fees.
I go to exercise. I especially find the Turbo-fit machine very helpful. It is easy on my joints and I can really speed things up and get some deep breathing going. I also use the "arm stretching" part of the machine. Some days I also add some workout with the machines for different muscle parts. I have a busy schedule and I'm not involved in classes. All the people working at this Y are very friendly and helpful.

Good for seniors
Clean facility and friendly staff. Some machines are down for a while on occasion but they usually get fixed eventually.
Ryan has a great variety of programs during the day and evenings including early morning (before work) classes. Everyone is covered. I especially appreciate the Senior classes.
Classes. Diversity. Exercise machines. Senior programs like pot luck and bingo
It’s improved a lot lately. It had been going downhill for quite some time. Staff are all friendly and helpful.
I am receiving help that I need to lose weight. I have appreciated Ruth and her help in the process.
Rowing machine
The Y is a great place to work out! I can always count on the facility being clean, the exercise machines being in good working order, and the staff being friendly. I normally go to the Ryan YMCA, however, there are times when I go to the Southwest facility, and the Benbrook facility. All are well maintained, which is important to me. I really appreciated the Contemporary Christian music that the Southwest facility played in the evenings when I was there, and I wish the Ryan would do the same. Unfortunatey when the Southwest facility changed their evening hours to close earlier, our group of 10-12 guys that played racquetball in the evenings had to join LA Fitness, since most still work, and the early closing did not give us ample time to play. But my wife will only work out at the Y, so we maintain both memberships. Unfortunately most of the other 10 or 11 guys dropped their memberships at the Y. So the operational savings probably did not amount to much at the Southwest facility, if you factor in the loss of memberships it incurred by closing an hour or so earlier. Regardless, my wife and I promote the Y any chance we get, and thoroughly enjoy our membership!
Zumba!
I enjoy very much the silver sneaker program.
The swim lessons at the YMCA more than exceeded my expectations. Before my son started his lessons he refused to get his head wet and said he would swim in floaties forever. By day 3 he was going under water and swimming by himself. His instructor, Isabella, was patient, encouraging, and knowledgable. I highly recommend swim lessons at the Y!
The friendliness of staff, activities such as bingo and luncheons, all SS classes. We stay connected, motivated and become like family. The instructors at Ryan House care about us and the fitness levels are challenging, fun and appropriate for the age groups.
The programs are local.
It is a family friendly environment. Something for everyone. And lots of diversity to aid all age groups.
You have a life guard that works on Thursday morning that is very indefinite of people of color he only tells them they need to shower before entering, anyone else he says nothing. He even makes sure they stay only 15 minutes in hot tub. Only people of color.
I enjoy silver sneakers program, employees, instructors. Hope to continue many more classes
