How seriously you take childwatch
The cleanliness in that order
during the upgrade (modifications of equipment setup) to the gym at Katy, some good and useful equipment was removed or quantity reduced. There were two Abdominal Crunch machines, now only one was left, the sad thing is that most of the time it is busy (only one for too many users). Be aware that many users like to work their abdomens with this equipment, I would suggest to return minimum a second one back please.
Friendly Staff, clean environment, many activities to chose from for all ages.
Ballard has some excellent instructors and members.
I suggest more than 55 minutes for Stretch and Restore, and for Tai Chi.These are slow movement classes (unlike Combat, BP, etc.). Consider taking them to 75 minutes length. They are very popular and fill up the Cummins room.
Better communication in regards to activities
Enjoy going to silver sneakers, exercising under good instructors, meeting friends. Staff is very nice,, cheerful greetings.
Zumba is my favorite. The instructors are all very nice and encouraging. I love doing the group classes that are offered: Barre, Zumba Tone, Zumba, CSI. It's a great way to keep moving with the support of an instructor.
Great instructors who are genuinely interested in helping members get stronger!
I like the Y because it's agreat place for adults and children. Love the group classes as well as the small group class like kettle bell. There are activities that fit every need.
I love the exercise classes. There is something for everyone. It's also a great place to make friends.
I also love the book club and Camp Cullen. The book club always has great, thought provoking discussion. And Camp Cullen is a wonderful way to experience the youthful joy of summer camp.
I love the exercise equipment. With the recent addition of equipment at the Monty Ballard YMCA, I was hoping that the Matrix Aura Lateral Raise would be included. I would love to see that addition in the near future.
I love the group fitness classes. I just wish you would require people to sign up for the classes to prevent the overload in the rooms.
There are a lot of options and schedules.
We need more leg press machines, abductor machine and glutes. There are more machines for men than it is for women. No all women can do heavy weight lifting due to medical conditions.
Group classes and sports.
Variety and skill level
The programs are organized and all the key dates are communicated clearly from Scott. I think Scott has done a remarkable job in transforming the Monty Ballard YMCA youth sports program.
I love the friendly staff and excellent instructors for the classes.
La peogramación de las instructoras de "Sandalias plateadas",las actividades especiales como el bingo,el compartir de platos preparados,los pasèos fuera del centro local.
Staff are excellent…skilled & helpful! Many classes are offered for a variety of levels…and lots of fun. Facility is clean and user friendly. I always feel welcome and valued.
You finally got all new machines and now you’re putting things in the free weight room with the free weights,which is wonderful,
And the arrangement that you have it set up in is
perfect and there’s a girl named Stacy she’s in the workout rooms with the machines. She is so smart and so quick and she knows so much. She’s an inspiration to me and a lot of friends.
Please give her a little recognition. She works hard.
