Nice staff, clean, indoor pool.
The programs I attend are great (Silver Sneakers and Water Exercise). The only thing I wish could be improved is the timing of scheduling a class. You never know when the portal is open -- it changes weekly!
My wife really likes the water aerobics & various classes you offer! As for myself, I’m a swimmer & waiting for the outdoor pool to open (even though it’s shallow & nothing can be done).
Everything
I so enjoy Kathi M’s RPM class and body pump too, both early morning classes. I don’t do much else, but I will recommend these.
There are great opportunities for people of every age which don't cost extra - making the Y a worthwhile and valuable facility.
My only complaint is at the Monte Ballard YMCA, the workers turn off the machines in the workout room starting up to 45 minutes before closing. When I use different machines for 20 minutes each, it is a problem when the treadmills are turned off and the YMCA isn't closing for another half hour or more! My suggestion is to leave machines on up to 15 minutes before closing. Thank you!
I joined almost all the morning clases , like Zumba ,Step and Water exercises sometimes ; it's the best time to work out for me and I like all the instructer , too .
It is conducsive for the whole family.
There are exercise programs for all levels of fitness. The instructors are very knowledgeable and explain proper form to avoid injury. They have a variety of social programs as well. I particularly like the art class and the book club. But ther are many choices.
The instructors are always helpful, encouraging, and overall amazing!
I like the variety of classes, and the instructors are great.
I don't like that some of the classes get too crowded. I always register for classes, but I don't think most people do.
Friendly staff, convenient class times, welcoming atmosphere.
For me, they are perfect.
The sign-up routine, using the Internet, is frankly a true mess.
Basketball for kids 12-16 was great but it's hard for a 12 year old to play the game. Most 12 year old boys are still short
The price is lower than other places.
I like how the people are including all the kids, I feel kindness when my son is playing basketball both in practice and games. It’s amazing to see and hear people cheering for both teams ❤️
There are a great variety of classes and activities. The instructor’s are knowledgeable and well trained. In some classes the music is to loud.
Dalila is the best Zumba instructor at the Y. Need to have more of her classes during the day. Have made many new friends in Zumba
Water Aerobics are a definite part of my life. I enjoy the diversity of each of the instructors and how they encourage us to do our best. I attend 5 days a week. I also enjoy Silver Sneakers. The exercise I receive makes me realize how it helps me to be strong both on land and water. The instructors are great and make adjustments for the those who can't do as much. I look forward to going to class and interacting with others.
Gym equipments are great with high ceilings and stretch room is a perfect getaway.
The instructors and personal trainers are great! Always helpful and knowledgeable about modifications for anyone who needs exercises that work around physical limitations. Thank you!
Great class teachers, with many options. Great Senior programs.
Caring, welcoming people
The variety of exercise classes a week
The water aerobics programs are great!
However, many times the classes are full which is so disappointing as my dr strongly advised me to do water aerobics 3xs a week.
Please please please consider adding more classes!
I want to stay healthy & active!
Thank you!
Lots of variety.
Something for everyone
Classes
I love the silver sneaker classes, but there needs to be more of them. Classes are filled to capacity every session. There needs to be two classes a day with one preferably early in the morning. Most seniors are up early and would prefer to go to an earlier class.
The schedule, the instructors and the relaxed atmosphere.

The scheduled programs and activities are very well done by people who love doing them. I’m impressed with the Senior Sneakers set up and time change to 12:00 noon. The extra time for staff to set up chairs and equipment works out very well and the on-line registration is super. Sensor Sneakers program and instructors are professional and caring.
