I like the convenience and professional grade instruction at the YMCA, including Spin, Body Pump, and Mat Pilates classes.
Improvements could be made for the Body Pump classes. The classes are too full. It's not enjoyable having zero space around you. The Branch Crossing YMCA needs to implement a registration system, as you do for Jame Mares' Spin classes. And initial enforcement should not fall on the instructions. For the first couple of weeks while people are getting used to the registration system, a representative of the YMCA needs to be stationed at the door to the classes, enforcing that the number of spaces are limited and users need to sign up for them.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

I love the cycle class, but it is so difficult to find open spots, maybe it should be moved to a larger area, or more classes offered; it's a great class which makes it popular, unfortunately, not enough spots for more to join.
Michael Lakes the director and his team did a very good job on their aquatic program this summer.
I was very happy to see my kid's improvements and enjoy his classes with awesome instructors.
It is all about the vibes around the pool and instructors' attitudes towards students.
Branch Crossing YMCA managed very well. I would recommend this program.
I just started going this week and I am going to the Silver sneakers classic class and I have only been one time but I loved it. I will be going on Thursday also Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Great instructors for exercise classes. Well maintained equipment.
Well kept facilities and friendly employees.
A nice variety of classes plus virtual classes too . Facility is always clean - bathrooms are always well maintained . I wish there were options for reduced membership fees for those who can only participate
Convenience and affordable with lots of options
I like the culture and environment of the Branch Crossing YMCA. While the weightlifting equipment is somewhat limited during high demand periods it is top of the line. The coffee is excellent, and the staff is friendly and always willing to help out.
Some suggestions for improvement would be the following:
- While the gym has never been cleaner due to the morning shift fitness staff, it is quite annoying when they vacuum the floor due to the noise and it is really annoying when I'm on the floor stretching, and they choose that time to vacuum around that same area. Would it be possible to lay off the vacuum during the peak morning demand times from 6:00 - 9:00AM?
- There is very little to no areas set aside for stretching, would it be possible to reconfigure the current gym layout to incorporate a section exclusively for this who want to stretch and include the stretching equipment such as rollers, pads, exercise balls, etc.
- The caffeinated coffee always runs out around 7:45AM, would it be possible for the front desk staff to replace the empty canister with a full canister at that time or just get up and check it periodically to see if it is empty.

Fitness classes
No classes, just independent workouts
Great instructors. Welcoming atmosphere.
The programs are working for me because it movtivate me to do exercise in order to stay healthy.
When I first started exercising I was intimidated by the machines and then Egym came along and I tried it out and like it. I have just started with the Stair too, and the Silver Sneakers group exercise classes.
I am glad I came aboard and try to encourage my friends to do the same.
There are a variety of classes for everyone. Friendly teachers.
It's a clean facility with friendly, helpful, and courteous staff members!
Properly made to our needs …
I like the weight room and playing pickleball several days a week. The staff is friendly
My favorite part of the Branch Crossing Y is the Line Dancing Class. The instructors are organized, explain the moves well, and are fun. It doesn’t feel like working because they have created an inviting atmosphere that makes it easy to make friends with your fellow classmates. I also like that the bathrooms are always clean, and the front desk staff are friendly and helpful.
My daughter loved the YMCA summer camp last year. This year she informed me that the camp was boring and activities were not exciting.
The Asian janitor in the morning in the weight room is amazing. He is always working so hard and it is so nice to work out in a clean and organized room.
Front desk is always nice and helpful.
The locker room and shower facilities are great. Much better than Shadowbend.
Kids appreciate the child care and splash pad.
Spin, Yoga and Functionally Fit classes are all outstanding with great Instructors!…..we have fun and get a great workout!
