Member Testimonials
You have great instructors and many classes to choose from!
Please have Susan T permanently teach BodyCombat on Saturdays @ 10:05am. There is always a “sub” that keeps changing, and one time, no instructor showed up. It would help to have consistency, and Susan has always taught this class and we all love her instruction.
I love the senior exercise program and line dancing. Would like to see more classes at Branch Crossing. Also, scheduling them at 12:15 is really inconvenient, especially because our meal schedule is thrown off. Some people can't tolerate that.
I LIKE THE FRIENDS i MAKE AND THE WORKOUT WE ALL ENJOY,

The instructors in group exercise classes are great. I also enjoy virtual classes
I do love everything about the Y at Bear Branch! I love it so much, that I would love for you to expand the services, going back to the old schedule, closing until 10 pm, or 9 pm on Sundays... maybe opening earlier during the weekend would be also very helpful.
Thank you!
I like the atmosphere there. Though I usually go to BC on days I'm not at Shadowbend Y. I'm there about 3 days a week. Have been doing this for many years and very glad it's so convenient for me. Would recommend the classes and exercise equipment to anyone looking for a great place to exercise and meet great friends.
Spin class with Valerie

Wellness Center
There is a variety of classes for strength and cardio -- something for everyone.
Nice gym area. Only downside is it is temperature warm working out. Shadowbend's facility is cooler to workout at.
The new equipment, the variety of classes , the quality of the teachers.
For families and for individuals.
Seems clean.
Community is seen there.
Variety of classes and class times.
Well organized, clean beautiful facilities, extremely considerate to mentally and physically challenged, and well maintained equipment.
I like the pickle ball and doable classes in the middle of the day.
I would like to see more classes at 11:30-1:00.
I would also like to see pickle ball on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some of the other pickle ball players would like that also.
Great instructors, variety of classes and times.
Lots of choices
Welcoming place for everyone in a family setting with love and support.
I love to be able to join any of the classes offered and are included.
Teachers are very kind and professional also. I can also have one of your personal trainers.
Great place to work out. Love the fun pool
All the dance classes and instructors are great.
It’s been 1yr 8mos since last time I join a class because of Covid. I always enjoy different types of classes and all instructors were very professional, very well trained and very patience with members of Y.
I hope to return one day soon when it’s safe clear of this Covid. Thank you.
The Forever Well classes have excellent instructors and are perfect for older adults. This location seems cleaner and less hectic than Shadowbend location.
I just joined last month and I’m enjoying exploring the variety of classes, instructors, and equipment.
Immaculate facilities. Well maintained and cleaned.
Everyone seems really friendly….
High quality instructors and a wide variety of offerings.
Clean, properly maintained, great customer care, attentive child watch attendants. Love the outdoor track. One area of improvement would be to open the family pool earlier in the day so the little kids can enjoy it before nap.
Cost effective, variety of programs & equipment, friendly staff, great facilities

Fun classes geared towards seniors to help with balance and strengthening. Also great place to meet other like-minded people who want to stay strong and healthy and still have fun!
Also love the planned activities for seniors! Fun Fun Fun!!
