I love the variety of classes and how easy it is to work it in to my busy schedule!
Pool, lap swimming
I like the many options for classes, as well as the opportunity to work on my own with weights, track, and machines. The only thing I would suggest is asking folks (personal trainers) to no block the doorway to the indoor track by sitting in front of it on the floor working out with their clients. There are 4 corners in that track and one on the opposite side away from the door would be better if they must sit down, lay down, lift weights, etc. while also using the indoor track. Also, not allow children to run and play on the indoor track. Parents should have their kids either in classes or with them while at the Y, not allowing them to run around the track while their siblings are below on the court participating in events.
Otherwise, great staff, very friend and helpful. Great machines and classes!
I like the variety and the time schedules of most classes.
I like the pool, karate classes, yogA, volleyball tournaments, indoor walkway, and the showers, and the locker rooms, and the free clean towels, and just about everything including the price of membership.
I like the track for walking and I have been using weight machines and the rowing machine
I really like the equipment at Benbrook Y. There is plenty to get a good work out. The only thing I would change is the people that want to watch their soaps while holding up a machine for way too long. I had to wait almost 20 minutes the other day for some ladt to get off of the leg curls machine.
Nice facilities including weights, multiple courts and an indoor pool.
Zumba
I’m glad that you have added the Stability class and the Fitness for Longevity at 11:00. The Silver Sneakers classic classes are too crowded.
The walking lap above the gym.
The friendly (mostly) helpers.
The wide variety of activities available for Seniors.
The books for sale table.
lap swimming time and the hours that the y is open. It is great that you open at 7 AM Saturday, unlike the downtown y which opens later.
I like all the programs and its only a mile from my home
Enjoy the work out programs
AOA programs for active seniors
I love everything about the programs and activities.
They cater to all ages and every health groups. Extremely friendly staff that custom fit your needs to the proper programs and trainers.
The times are so variable that it could meet even the most busiest persons schedule.
Lots of energy in the spin class with Kathy
Your Silver Sneakers with Shanti is excellent... Wish it were at 9AM on Mondays, day is half over when we don't start till 10
Fit and Fabulous is also excellent with Ginger
I love all the Silver Sneakers classes. I've also done water aerobics and enjoy that program too. The staff has been polite and helpful always.
Parents night out is amazing!
The adult group exercise program is excellent.
good equipment, great instruction from Cecilia and variety of programs and classes available.
EVERYONE IS SO FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL AND WORK HARD TO TRY AND HELP US FEEL GOOD AND REACH OUR GOAL.
silver sneakers
you have the best instructors. Friendly and inspiring.
Good activities available for seniors and a good variety for other ages. Due to the facility’s popularity and the decrease in Y services on the West side ( closed locations), this facility need to be enlarged.
Yoga and the active older adult classes are the ones I enjoy. I like these activities because they keep me in shape, and I always feel better after going to a class! Shani is the my favorite instructor. She is a true asset to your program. She is knowledgeable, pleasant, and makes everyone feel welcome! She offers many modifications so that everyone can get exactly what they need! She should be one of your employees of the month! I keep looking to see her name, but it’s not on the employee of the month display. Excellent employees should be recognized!
Tai chi!
You have a variety of programs for all ages.
Good friendly leaders and many nice people
Love the water aerobics classes but i wish there were more times in the evenings after work.
