Member Testimonials
There are a wide variety of exercise and wellness programs to choose from. The child watch area is great and has very convenient hours of operation. The youth sports options are also a great benefit.
I love going to the group classes because working out with other people motivates me and keeps me coming back. I especially like the Zumba classes, as they are high energy and fun, and the instructors are amazing!
Our instructor Laura who leads I think it is called AOS classes on Monday and Wednesday and also a toning & cardio classes (don't know the name) on Tuesday and Thursday keeps me coming regularly 4 times a week. She is without a doubt why these classes are always full and you have to come early to even get a spot to participate. I have joined several local fitness companies over the years, but never had such a dynamic and excellent instructor. So many people advised me to quit paying outrageous rates and join the Y with the best instructor ever--and they were right! She makes exercising so much fun and always gives alternative moves if cannot do a certain one. She gives very explicit instructions so you know exactly what to do and when and what the benefits are of each move. She is such a kind person that makes everyone feel okay about themselves even if they can't do certain moves or use the weights, bands, etc. The Y is fortunate to have someone of her caliber to be in their employ. It has been a joy and a blessing to be in her classes.

I like Bodypump!! Beth is an awesome, enthusiastic instructor. I like the general feel of the Y too, I used to be a member at Lifetime and I just felt like it was just a snobby place. It feels "real" and encouraging walk into the Y, the staff has a lot to do with that. They're friendly and encouraging.
Very convenient and multiple class choices available.
Particularly like the Pickleball activities and my wife likes swimming
Group classes, such as Zumba, Body Combat, Yoga
Excellent and very committed instructors
Love the childcare hours!! The pool area is the best!
I stumbled upon the open room one evening with my friend and we have been going back ever since. We love it! What a great idea!!
YOGA
I like the activities that are provided for seniors. My wife and I have participated in a number of them, including a cruise, and we enjoy ourselves. My wife likes the exercise classes that are offered. I recently participated in LiveStrong and learned about a lot of exercise machines and options that I did not know about before.
I just like to exercise and the new machines in the Wellness Center are fantastic to me. They are so much easier to work than the old ones that were there.
I also enjoy my Silver Sneakers classes. I like the Thursday instructor. Those classes are so helpful and I feel physically and mentally so much better.
Overall I enjoy going to the Y. I have met new friends in the Silver Sneakers class. After exercising my friends and enjoy visiting with a cup of coffee.
Classes and option for child care whilst doing the classes is fantastic
I like the age appropriate group classes. I like the social programs.
I enjoy the yoga classes and my kids like the childcare.
My daughter with special needs uses this YMCA 2-3 times weekly, so I am responding for her (I go the the Chapman YMCA in Katy). She also attends ARC socials at Ballard. The Ballard Y staff is always accepting, cordial and generous.

I like the variety of classes, but mostly, I like the instructors and staff. Everyone who works there is nice and helpful.
Nice, clean, organized, friendly, supportive. Great class leaders, even though they substitute for one another: all have been great. Like the changes: not the same thing every class.
Started in Silver Sneakers. Ready for a "harder" class, now. (I think.)
Thanks for being there.
