Member Testimonials
Excellent trainers, very clean, friendly staff.
Yoga
Water aerobics scheduling is very good for me.
I like the classes and the coaches
The group exercise classes are led by motivating, encouraging and well-trained instructors who recognize not only the value of a work out for one's health, but also the value of the comradery among those participating. The classes bring together groups of individuals who are supportive - many of these have become my friends.
I like that I can come in and do my little exercises on the equipment available. I especially like the track above the gym.
Good programs and equipment
Silver sneakers

Everything is great
The fitness classes and the fact that the Benbrook Y has awesome instructors.
Christy King, Karen Henderson, Lana Battle, Lara Hall, Cathy (Rpm) and Millie with body flow.
I would like to see more of the body combat and CX works after 5:30 pm for those who work during the day.
Everyone here is friendly and helpful. I only use the pool at this time, but all the life guards and staff encourage me in what I do, make me feel welcome and answer all my questions. The facility is kept neat and clean and appears well taken care of.
The employees have been great this year but wish there was a few more trainers.
I would like to add a wish list here too.
Update some equipment would love to see some new trendy stuff such as the new "stealth" core strengthener. Maybe even some class around it. Maybe other classes for fun.
Not exactly what you asked for, but.... conveniently located close to my hoe in Benbrook. Excellent, friendly employees, clean!
The variety of classes and water aerobics, and very friendly instructors
Workers are all very nice.
Availability and kindness of the YMCA staff.
I like the group ex classes!
I am currently doing the morning pump classes with Lora. She’s terrific! I used to do the shred/Pilates class, but it’s not available now. I would love to take that again on Tues/Thurs.! I hope you bring it back!
Thank you!
So wonderful to get more Bodyflow morning classes. 9 am Bodypump is better than it used to be at 10.
Like the fact there is more yoga also.
The Benbrook Community YMCA has a very helpful staff. During this hard times they help, clean, etc. They also provide cleaner spray bottles, wipes for the clients to use during the workout. They always have a smile at the entrance which make you feel welcome.
I don't participate in activities other than my workouts due to the pandemic, but the staff make effort to keep the facility safe.
I would encourage everyone at the YMCA to use a mask to protect the others (not you necessarily).
The instructors for Silver Sneakers are outstanding at keeping us healthy and flexible. The constantly changing rules and procedures depending on the administration’ present is unhelpful. The equivalent is quickly becoming rusted from the constant, misuse of chemicals, which also weKens and splits the vinyl padding. I have people spraying other people! I’d like to go back to the requirement if wearing actual exercise clothes. Wearing blue jeans and dress shoes cannot be that clean or good for the Floors or equipment. The lady that cleans with the cart is excellent and always busy! The early morning desk help Monday- friday 6-8 is exceptional friendly, helpful, and ready solve problems in a way that make sense. Not so later in the day! The trainers do not remind their clients to stay 5 feet away from those who are already in place exercising. That sums up my observations. I’ve been almost every day since June when you reopened.
It’s CLEAN and employees are friendly and helpful

Input encouraged & provided responses.
A sense of community with fellow members.
Developing friendships.
I have not been to a group class since March, but I plan to return to Saturday Zumba in Benbrook this week. Classes were always well-instructed. I have been on the walking track once in the last month. Staff was friendly, everything looked very clean and distancing measures had been taken.
I love water aerobics and all the instructors are great tho Julie is OUTSTANDING!!!
Just gotta day, most of us in wave makers are seniors and therefore sensitive to cool temps. The pool water is much too cool, actually painful to our sensitive skin. Please warm it up a few degrees. I was told it is kept cooler for the lap swimmers. Well they aren’t seniors for the majority and aren’t subjected to painful cool water like we seniors are. How about a little consideration?
I personally love the water aerobics. My hushban really misses the sitting at the table and talking with the men after he does his walk. It is sad the effect the pandemic has had on older people.
Love the community and people I’ve met
