Wide variety and the water aerobics classes are excellent.
We enjoy the Y at Shadowbend because it's close to our home and our Medicare pays for it too.
All the machines are so helpful and the facility is very clean too. Everyone is friendly and encouraging about us keeping ourselves healthy.
So many choices. Instructors are great. Friendly people.
Like the water exercise. Would like to get info on some of the other programs
Classes, fitness equipment.
LOVE the water aerobics and the e-gym.
The staff is wonderful.
I love the Water Exercise class with Debbie Phillips. She is the best instructor I've had.
She works hard to create routines that challenge us and she truly cares whether we are doing
the exercises correctly to give us the best workout.
I also use the Egym system and like it very much. It is so nice to not have to figure out what weight level to use on each machine. It is a challenging work out and continues to motivate you to increase your weight level or type of program you are on.
The only 'con' to this is it is very popular and it is crowded sometimes when I go and you have do the machines out or order in order to go 2 rounds.
I like these silver sneakers program. As I was in therapy. It’s gentle but challenging..

Good variety of group exercise classes. Fun instructors.
I love going to the pool early in the morning. It's always clean and the water temperature is always perfect, in my opinion. It is not crowded and the lifeguards are very nice and accomodating. I enjoy my excercise time and have met new friends.
Several amenities for everyone to enjoy and keep healthy.
Various courses offered for all ages
I love the line dancing and the multiple offerings for seniors. The computerized exercise equipment is great.
Love the class options and the instructors are great
I use Silver and Fit for implementing rehab scheduled by Memorial Hermann Rehab and Rehabilitation. I use a YMCA Trainer to make sure I am doing scheduled items correctly. Sometimes using a trainer twice a week for three months. Trainer was qualified helping me create a stretching warm up, improved position and resulting better results.
I am getting to start Silver and Fit in the near future aat Shadowbend YMCA.
The Y is always about families and the local community. Fantastic instructors in their classes are knowledgeable with great expertese. Nothing like it.
We are older seniors & we like going to the YMCA at Shadow Bend.
None of the accessible member areas at the Y have a raised mat. There was a large one there several years ago but it was removed. Now the only one is a smaller one in a room reserved for trainer type use.
The reason I bring this up is because when doing exercises that require you to lay on your back my wife has difficulty getting up off of a mat on the floor. A raised mat is needed or if at home our bed works fine. Since we like to do all our exercises at the Y if possible it would be great if a raised mat was reinstalled at the Y.
I've got to believe there are a lot of older seniors that could benefit from this.
Thanks, Alan Last name removed @ Phone number removed.
I am thrilled that the Shadowbend YMCA has Pickleball courts and there are times available to play Pickleball.
