Exercise Classes for Seniors
The machines are nice, clean and well organized
Variety, quality, scheduling, enthusiasm
The instructors and variety!
The classes !
The YMCA should more closely monitor and bond its employees. Any permanent locker can be entered with a key.
Great, convenient exercise facility
I only use the weight and cardio workout machine. I see some of the same people there at the same times
The trips and the events for seniors
More Indoor Pickleball. The outdoor areas are not safe for playing for many reasons mostly the surface is slippery and unsafe for seniors (or really any age group to play this sport).
I feel better after a class. The instructors are good. (1or 2 not so much). I like the atmosphere- everyone is positive, and there's lots of light in the building.
Pretty much everything. My most regular visits are upstairs to the treadmills, weight machines, and free weights. The entire area is well maintained and has a staff who couldn't be more helpful. The men's locker room is well above par. The pool is one of the best in Houston. Even though I don't participate, it is clear that the group classes are well attended with competent instructors.
Best of all are the friendly staff members.
Cleanliness
Skilled instructors and staff
The variety
I'm particularly drawn to the programs with emphasis of health and wellness at all levels of ability. One could take a specific class of interest, choose a personal trainer or simply workout at your own pace in one of the wellness centers.
My daughter enjoyed her swim classes with Ms. Bella. With her, we would take more swim classes again. We had a better experience taking same group swim session the second time around.
Pickleball, cardio dance classes
Very friendly instructors and talented
I love the senior citizens classes and outings
Big variety
Great classes and exercise equipment. The staff is super friendly and the place is spotless. The Trotter YMCA really cares about its neighbors - so many wonderful programs like the Backpack Drive and the Christmas Toy Tree.
Many different classes for all activity levels. Very nice outdoor swimming pool and weight area.
There is an established, die-hard group that shows up every weekday about 4:50am each morning. For the last couple of months, we have to wait outside until we get the ok sign from Carol due to someone busting through the door and hiding within the building, on a Saturday.
Winter will be here soon enough and waiting outside in 45' temps is uncomfortable - PLEASE allow us to step inside the doors until 5:00am

I only use your elliptical stairmaster, weight machines and free weights. They are sufficient for my regimen.
I no longer participate in the HIIT classes that I did pre-COVID. I decided to change up. Nothing wrong with the classes. It's just now, I am 70yrs old and decided to change to challenge my body in another way.
Great facility and wonderful staff.
Instructors very professional and collegial at the same time. Fellow members friendly and caring. Community spirit.
I like the exercise classes. I enjoyed Carrie's Power Yoga class. We have not really had a true one since. It would be nice to have one.
Matrix rowing machine. Staf is engaging and respectful
