lots of variety and for all ages I do wish the old workout machines werent replaced wth newer ones.. Im a senior, 75. I used 10 to15 lbs on some of the older machines, now 20 lbs is starting weight on some of them.
It kind of discourages me frm going to the Y as often. I work till 5pm most days, and miss out on those great silver sneakers classes.
I still think its an awesome Y, i have been enjoying the CHALLENG programs, and the 360' online program/workouts and chances to win a gift certificate. 🤸♀️
I love the many different options that not only I have to choose from, but my family as well. Whether that’s working out in the gym, swimming in the pool, playing basketball or pickle ball, there are plenty of activities to choose from. The kids love the outdoor pool as well.
Good variety, good machines, friendly staff!
There is every kind of program for every kind of activity one would want to get involved with all day long. Different times for different ages, different levels of exercise proficiency and the teachers to teach and explain and empower and motivate all of us with all of those activities!
I’m still trying to learn how to use new equipment. Rest is good
Programs for all ages, clean facility and pleasant staff
I like Christie at the front desk in the morning she’s always very polite welcomes everybody in and makes you feel at home. I also love the swimming pool and the ladies locker room machines it’s an awesome Y one of the best I’ve ever been and so is the young lady that conducts the classes in the morning I don’t know her name but she’s very friendly and helpful.

Swimming lessons excellent for children and senior adults. Friendly staff.
My husband and I are newcomers to the area within the last 1-2 years. We are in our 70's but still very active. We have found it difficult to get to know others at our ages because even in church, there are groups of family who have been under that roof for multi-generations. Friends and support systems are already established to their satisfaction. We like to exercise to promote good health and strength for living at the Y. That is our primary goal for going. However, In addition to the wonderful opportunities for exercise, we enjoy the friendly staff and other members in getting to know the community and some other people near our new home.
I like the immediate feedback and the patience of your staff with my child.
All good

Love water aerobics and the instructor Judy does an outstanding job.
Pickleball, weights, friendly staff
It's a busy happy place. Lots of activities for all age groups and for all fitness levels. Exercise Room has a variety of machines; and the pool also offers fitness classes. Gym is great for basketball and pickle ball; and the walking area is a big plus. Something for everyone--at all levels! Great place!
The Hood county "Y" has replaced their used machines with new and different exercise equipment.
The Y has always been friendly, clean and very helpful with any problem you might have while exercising.
The silver Sneakers classes are well planned for my age group. The help is friendly and supportive.
The exercise programs are so much fun and I feel good knowing l am trying to stay healthy with the Y’s dedication to help everyone accomplish their goals.
The facility is Wonderful and there is something for everyone!
Water aerobics
Like the pool and exercise area. However the pool's cool temperature continues to be a problem,
Pickleball
I love the weight room. I love the pickle ball. I love the special programs. But it would be nice to have more pickle ball courts, at least two or three. Since I started lifting weights, and other programs, three years ago, I have never felt better.
We appreciate the great facility and the exceptionally friendly staff!!!
