Variety of programs and activities for seniors.
I love the water aerobic class. I wish there were classes on more days.
I do miss the stationary bikes you used to have that were a cross between the upright and the recumbent. You now have 1 and before you had about 4.
So many classes to choose from. Great staff!
Large exercise room with machines and cardio equipment. Also love the pool and spin classes.
I really enjoy the Les Mills Tone Class! It’s only available once a week in the morning, although it is taught late afternoon/early evening on a couple of other days. I wish the Y would schedule another morning Tone class like it once did before the Pandemic! It is a GREAT all around workout! I’m missing my Tone!
Great instructors, classes and activities for seniors.
Glad your pool is fixed.
Great atmosphere, energy, availability in times and great instructors
Very varied. BUT:
1.Yoga classes too cold, traditionally done in warm room, certainly not VERY cold. And Yoga teacher sometimes also allows fans, even if only one person requests it.
2.A/C needs better method of adjusting all over the building.
3. Pickleball signup only allows 4 people. So that when people sign up and don't cancel there's no way of knowing that. Y should notify non-cancellors, so they dont keep doing it.
4. New floor in Great Room is not good. Needs fixing in some places.
I love the YMCA because they're designed to the whole family
Some good instructors in Yoga. Good Pool, well maintained. Its abetter day when the steam room is steaming.Well behaved members.
I enjoy working out. My personal trainer has help me out a lot.
The stretch exercise class Tues. mornings at 9:45 AM. The mah-jongg class I signed up for.
Instructors are great. Well planned out classes Flexible withpeople with differing skills and abilities. Friendly helpful respectful.
Senior fitness classes, rest and restore and stretch.
All I’ve ever done is swim for almost 30 years. I love the year round outdoor pool! I swam
at Weekley during maintenance. Trotter is so much nicer. It’s very difficult to find a pool in the Dallas area to swim in during the winter. I had no idea how spoiled that I was.
The whole building is clean, up to date, organized with many high class people who come to stay informed and healthy. The classes are extraordinary with excellent instructors and friendly participants. It is a super way to see nice people and exercise.

There are so many activies and the classes are fun.
I went to my first Trotter class, Body Jam, and that was awesome! I'm usually in the weight room and cardio area and just appreciate how low key and diverse everyone in the weight room is. We all want to get some movement in but it doesn't feel intense. It's nice to get to know people over time, facilities are clean. I have nothing negative to say about the Trotter Y!
My only comment on that is that the women's sauna could be hotter! Some Y's have more programmable saunas where you can designate it as "low" or "high" - it would be cool if this one had something like that.
I attend group exercise classes every day from Monday to Saturday and absolutely love them
The teachers are fantastic, very knowledgeable and experienced..
I have made so many friends at the Y. As a single senior, it’s like a little family to me.. a second home !!
Please keep up the good work !!

Hours are good. Staff is friendly. Weight area is easy to use with enough equipment that there is rarely a wait.
