I Get a good work out
It’s a great place to exercise with a lot of choices for the whole family.
I like the diversity of classes offered. My favorites are yoga and Zumba. I like that there’s a wide age range of participants, & the instructors help anyone feel welcome.
I like the variety and the cost.

One thing I would like to have fixed is the "see more details" link on the schedule pages of the Fort Worth YMCA website. When I try to get more details, I am taken to a monthly calendar and not given more details. This feature has been broken for months. I used to find a description of the class and who was teaching it. It had worked correctly for me for years.

I really enjoy aqua Zumba! It's a fun class that fits into my schedule. Looking forward to trying more evening classes.
The Benbrook Y is a clean, safety-concious facility providing recreation & opportunities for a healthy lifestyle at quite reasonable prices. It has a unique community vibe inclusive of all from tots to seniors, a rare public venue welcoming every gender, race, faith, background, & ethnicity. I can communicate with management & receive timely responses. I (as a lone, older female) feel secure in the parking lot even in the dark. It is a short drive from my house but readily accessed via I-35, I-30, 820 & Hwy. 377.
Group exercise classes
The Benbrook Y has more activities and classes for seniors than any of the fitness centers in this area.
The group exercise classes are led by dynamic and enthusiastic instructors who are friendly, inclusive and very good at what they do. They will push your workout as hard as you want to go!

We are enjoying the exercise classes, and I hope to resume swimming when time termits......Jack Holstein
I totally like the Y! The classes I take are Body Pump and Yoga. Terrific classes with great instructors and wonderful participants. All the people I encounter at the Benbrook Y are friendly and great to get to know!
The instructors I have been associated with have been very knowledgeable in their fields and are very encouraging and pleasant to their students. Participanting in Y classes not only has helped me physically become stronger and healthier, but attending classes has enabled me to make many new friends whom I treasure while sharing this journey of life together!
Love the variety of programs for all age groups and the staff.

Clean, friendly, good facility
I appreciate the great classes for senior citizens!
My trainer, the upstairs track, many classes. I do wish you would have Latin dancing classes like some of the YMCAs do.
Very versatile, equipment easy to use, friendly staff
I like the classes and the variety of classes. The staff and instructors are helpful and friendly. It is easy to enter and exit the classes.
The group fitness classes and child care!
Thoroughly enjoy Zumba!! Most instructors are very motivating and help participants get a good work out. Very disheartening when the Friday Zumba was canceled: class attendance will always fluctuate, giving up on a class does not reflect well on the Y’s goal to “serve the members” who can only come at night.
I also enjoy the water aerobic classes and the line dance class. Good variety for all levels and motivational instructors.
Friendly people - both instructors and participants.
They keep me coming back for more!!!!
The Benbrook YMCA is near where we live, and we can use our Silver Sneakers benefit. We usually go around midday, at which time the treadmills, ellipticals and weight machines are all available (we operate on our own and do not use the group exercise programs). The staff are friendly and helpful.
Silver sneakers is so good for retired people and I love yoga and body flow. Most of all it’s the Y employees. They are wonderful and caring. Family. It all is reflective of what the Y platform stands for. Great facility
