I enjoy the 5:30 am Pilates or body flow class
Exercise classes and other activities for seniors.
I do the Silver Sneakers program with Eliot Perez. And the class is fun and exciting and invigorating every time. I feel so good after I leave. Eliot knows how to make it fun while I am working my aXX off!!
I feel part of the community there. The people are kind and welcoming. There are also monthly luncheons, bus trips to interesting places and lots of fun events to give us the opportunity for fellowship and developing friendships.
In the summertime I also do the water aerobics by Eliot. I actually got a light tan from working out in the pool! First time since college.
And while I’m bragging about the YMCA, I have to mention the great personal training. Andrew Hoffart was a great and positive trainer. I had sessions with him over several months when I started exercising at the YMCA after having gastric sleeve surgery. Thanks to the YMCA and the surgery I have lost over 110 lbs! Thank you.
I've only been to this location twice but it will probably become my new home gym after moving away from the downtown Tellepsen Y. I primarily use the lifting and cardio area. 90% of the equipment I normally use is present and I've asked Jason, a Y employee if the other 10% were hidden. A prone leg curl machine, a glute machine, a super squat machine, and a running track. While not available he did spend time finding alternatives to the machines and I'll learn to adjust. Also, towel service would be awesome but I understand how much work that is. I love the Y and it's mission.
I love the classes and childcare. I feel very comfortable on the gym floor at the Y. My favorite teacher is Eliot! I go to his classes regularly.
Clean.
Great class with Richard. Very friendly staff.
Morgan, Cynthia, John, Amelie and Dana are the best
The variety.
friendly
Seeing Diane Hutchins at the front desk when I walk in is wonderful!
Most of the Staff is Friendly and make you feel welcome. Classes are good. Could use more cardio machines at busy times.
Good classes and fabulous instructors
The staff members at the Foster facility are great and there is a wide variety of classes. I took my daughter as a guest to Richard’s Flexibility Class because she works as a senior accountant staring at a computer much of her day. She thought that stretching class was the best exercise class she had ever been to. She thinks office administrators should offer this class to employees who work with computers all day. Richard has the perfect calming voice for stretching! John’s class is an awesome workout for seniors who need a mixture of cardio, balance, and some weights. Diane plans super fantastic trips for seniors to learn something new and socialize.
Love it
I love the multiple choise about courses
I love the dance, yoga & step aerobics. The instructors are great. I do however have a couple of things that would make it better.
1. I rent a locker to store some of my stuff, but I can only rent a small locker. I think if you pay to rent a locker you should be given a choice what size to choose.
2. We have a dance class in Room 2.(the smaller room) and the heater is on. It gets so hot in there we have to open the door even though we have a fan it is still very hot in there.
Great for kids with parents who have hectic work hours and as well it keeps us busy
Everything. The atmosphere. The helpfulness of the workers. The great diversity of competent teachers. Christian feeling. The friendliness of other members.
Emphasis on updated equipment and cleanliness. Friendly front desk personnel.
I like the machines and the low-key atmosphere.
The staff is knowledgeable and courteous. There is a great variety of exercise classes, and the instructors are great. The Y is also a good way to make friends and socialize.
The Foster YMCA offers classes for all ages/abilities. I, of course, like the AOA classes. John and Relias are wonderful leaders and provide exercises and stretches appropriate for AOA. Thanks.
The instructors are not only well trained but they are also very kind-hearted and caring people.
it keeps me to be more active instrad of sitting down all day
Silver Sneakers
Clean, small atmosphere with latest excercise equipment
It is just perfect for the family!
I like the friendly atmosphere, your excellent instructors who are always encouraging and uplifting. The variety of classes offered and that classes are offered from early morning until early evening hours. And I like the other members of the Y.
I like that you offer classes like Foreverwell Stretch and the water exercise class both of which are particularly well suited to seniors. There should be senior appropriate classes everyday.
