Member Testimonials
The Y is close to home and everyone is friendly.
I love my morning water aerobics class
Swim classes
Several classes to choose from, friendly staff
I go frequently to the Gym, it is good, and the staff is always smiling and courteous
I enjoy using the Ballard YMCA ! The staff is very helpful and friendly.
The stationary bike closest to the water fountain has lost its television/cable connection. The other bikes still have tv.
It is often warm in the wellness room. Noticeably warmer than the hallway or weight room. The hallway and weight room are always a comfortable temp, but wellness room is usually too warm.
It’d be good if ceiling fans could be installed in the wellness room !
Love the exercise classes.
Plenty of options for classes that will suit all members desires and abilities. Excellent instructors. Workers at the front desk are always very welcoming. A great place to workout and make friends. I could not be more pleased.
Great gym, very clean and the staff and classes are outstanding
I go there to play pickleball and you have it.
However, During the summer camp, the staff tends to urn on the music overly loud and we have to contend with it.
Also, your staff should tell people to respect the schedule for the sports that the gym had put down for. Case in point, recently while we were playing pickleball a father brought his son to practice basketball. The son starts to round around the gym and we have to tell him to stop. He then tells his son to dribble the ball on the side. We also tell him to stop. He disagree and we told him to complain to the staff. He brought the staff in and explained the situation but unfortunately the staff allows the son to dribble the ball at the side. They said its not disturbing, but respectfully, all of the pickle ball players said its disturbing. All we ask is that people need to respect the gym schedule.
I enjoy my classes at the Y
Many activities to choose
they are varied. Wish the ladies changing area was a bit nicer.
Consistent schedule helps me plan my workout and also weekly schedule
The staff is nice and welcoming, the facilities offer many activities for the whole family, and the child watch is great for dropping off the kids when going work out.
I don’t participate in these
Since I've been coming the instrucror and classes are well prepared and notice changes in my body and health the people are polite and friendly I would continue to go as long as they want me I've also told friends now they're members

Group exercise classes for seniors are great because of the instructors.

You provide everything I need
Great group exercise classes & instructors! Also like the option of virtual/on demand classes.
I attend the cycling classes with live trainers. The trainers always show up for the classes, which is awesome. The staff is friendly and helpful.
I enjoy the various activities and classes; most areas are clean and spacious. However, the gym's bathrooms have a foul odor and need to be cleaned more frequently.
I wish there was more time or more places to play pickleball.
I love the Swim classes with a different trainer everyday. Great full body exercise. Joint flexibility is optimal! Especially knees and hips. Balance is one of my goals I work on and the swim program is so beneficial.
I plan to go to a streach class for improved flexibility and strength.
The friendly interaction is good.
I haven't tried any of your programs. But I do like that there are so many options available.
