Boot camp
Great staff, very clean and my boys love the child watch!
Kids club lots of swim lesson options for kids and accommodating pool staff. Classes virtual and otherwise are offered at times that work for us.
I like that I can bring my daughters, my 1 year old to child care and my teenager uses the gym. It’s clean. The instructors make the classes very enjoyable and the staff is always willing to help and answer questions.
The benefit of being physically healthy, and he friendly trainers who give so much to help keep us in shape.
I love that they are interactive and high energy. The instructors are amazing and the classes are plentiful.
I love the Pilates class and using the cardio room upstairs. Limiting the class size also makes the group activity more enjoyable.
Ones for the elderly, wish they were more and at an earlier time
Friendly people. Great equipment options.
My husband and I like everything. The openness of the workout facility is amazing! The staff is exceptional!! Everyone is so kind and great. It’s so nice to see the same people there which promotes a family atmosphere. The lighting is great and even in a thunderstorm it is welcoming. The monty Ballard Y is it so dark and sometimes saddening.
The folks who work there are the friendliest group of people I have ever met and seem to go out of their way to make me feel welcome every time I walk in the door!
I love Mark Chapman YMCA! I love the classes, the instructors and the staff. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. I don’t take advantage of any of the programs, but I love the variety of classes offered and attend almost every day. Thanks for all you do!
Love Zumba instructors Yenny and Ivy especially. They are the reason I signed up at the YMCA. I also like Yenny’s Silver Sneakers class. Actually, anything Yenny or Ivy teaches is fantastic for me.

Classes.
I very much like all of your forever well classes, and I do like the fact that now we have the ability to choose a class at Monty Ballard and then also around the same time there is usually one at Katy Main. I like the fact that everyone can exercise at their own level/pace and do as much as they are able, without being called out or criticized by the instructor.
All the group X classes and instructors are amazing!!
Love playing Pickleball!
Friendly, clean, great workout facility. 2nd floor has many weight and machines to offer a great workout for any individual. If you're into group exercise, there is not that many classes available as I've seen at other Y's, but the classes offered they are very good.
I use the pool daily. Ashley and her team are excellent. A+
Love Body Pump and Body Flow. Love the cap on people attending and the sign up in advance.

Spin class
I love the group classes and childcare, but please open childcare in the afternoons!
Don't you hate surveys?
Very clean, friendly staff, a lot of programs, family-oriented, they are all what you need for exercise.
The variety of classes offered.
I love going to the YMCA. It’s a very welcoming non-judge mental place to get exercise. You need to do away with the mask wearing. I recognize that you think that you should be protecting everyone but really that is not your purpose. The purpose of the YMCA is to provide ways for members to continue our healthy lifestyle. Members need to take responsibility for their own health. There are many people who have either had the virus or been vaccinated or both and the CDC says those people do not need to be wearing a mask if we do not choose to. I would hope that you would reevaluate your mask rule in the very near future.
