Member Testimonials
swimming activities and exercise classes conducted in pool.
The way many programs are geared toward seniors or those that are beginners.
Love water aerobics
Variety of choices, including swimming
easy to join, great, helpful staff.
I like the challenge and the instructors leading them.
I don't like machines - but really enjoy the classes. I attend the line dancing, zumba, and one other class.
I like the healthy environment that’s projected upon entering the building. That prepares me for a hard workout in the gym.
There is a wide variety of programs and activities. Something for everyone all ages.
At age 93 I have found that my workouts 3 days a week have kept me in great physical shape. I start on the stationary bicycle for 20 minutes then use six of the upper body machines, followed by the five leg machines. About one hour and I am in good shape for the week. Currently I am staying home and doing some mickey mouse workouts that aren't as good. Hope this virus goes away soon.
Silver Sneakers & the indoor track
Everything—all classes, exercise machines, staff
I appreciate the way the Y has become an integral social component of Hood County. It serves an important role in the lives of young and old. Not sure the correct message is being sent concerning the current pandemic. As I stated, I consider the Y an important community asset. It should put the health and well being of the community it serves front and center. Remaining open may be a poor decision. It is a time to ere on the side of caution.
The swim lessons for kids are the best! We enroll our kids each year and it’s helped so much.
It’s all good and professionaly done.
Silver sneakers class
Variety of group classes.

Clean gym and friendly people.
We like Hood County's pickleball activity and would love to see more hours of the day for it
Our daughter swims on the SEALS team. We are so blessed to have a partnership at the Y and a beautiful pool.
The weight machines, pool and group exercises.

Love the classes. Instructors are friendly, welcoming, and energizing.
The swim aerobics is great! It's a wonderful way for me to stay in shape without aggravating my arthritis. Each teacher brings their own high energy style but Nancy is my absolute favorite. Her knowledge of anatomy is amazing and actually teaches how to correctly do the movements so you won't injure yourself but helps build core strength which helps with balance issues and overall strengthening.
I love the senior classes. I do wish you would have some senior classes in the early afternoons because most of my community meetings are in the morning and I have to choose to attend those meetings or exercise and most of the meetings are a must attend, I also wish we had more of the weight machines. I hate having to stand and wait for someone to get off. My exercise time is limited and I usually just have to leave without working out on the machines I went to use.
The staff are always polite and responsive. I have used a personal trainer for months at a time on different occasions in the last two years and I have been very pleased.
I really like the classes and the fact that I can go to any of them with no additional charge.
Great employees, also.
I like the silver sneakers class. Please have more. Very in demand. Tracey is a great teacher. We are Averaging over 30. Small class room. It would be nice to have options like. Classes for more active or 60’s. And others who need lots of help. It is only offered Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. Would love to see it everyday.
I sincerely enjoy my time at the YMCA. I love the group ex classes and, I talk nonstop about how great they are. This score would be a perfect 10 but for my most recent experience. Also, the score locked and I couldn't change it. I was trying to add my live-in boyfriend to my membership. The Y wouldn't let me add him because his driver’s license didn't have the right address. I didn’t complain because, the YMCA is a business and can't give out memberships for less than they are worth. However, when my monthly draft came out for my membership, I was charged the upgraded fee. I am not concerned so much about the money. I am genuinely disappointed that I was given a hard time when I was trying to upgrade my membership and, wasn't allowed to but, then I was charged the upgraded fee anyway. Something should change internally at the YMCA. I don't understand why there is a system in place that can deny him entry but, not a system in place that can make sure I am charged correctly.
