Member Testimonials
Varied programs for all ages and abilities
I do like the facilities.
I love the classes. The instructors are professional, knowledgeable, fun, and motivating. I only belong to the YMCA because of the group classes.
the caring way you help seniors get the most out of what you have sun water exercise.
No semi interested staff really have caring people working there.
Locker room clean, easy to get around. Weight room with nice accommodations.
e-gym
I love water aerobics class. Sorry you have to cancel class. I go every day and look forward to it and socializing with the other swimmers. We go to lunches once a month and try different restaurants and enjoy seeing one another in clothes and makeup. We have quite a few men that dare to be with all us women. Especially those that are widowed/divorced and living alone, it gives some socialness. I would like to go play cards but afraid it would be too much for me after class.
The body balance less miles
Great leaders for classes
Friendly and convenient
Great variety of group classes. Wonderful instructors. Love the EGym machines.
Love the lap pool! I go 5-6 times a week.
I like chair yoga with Alley. She is so caring and pays attention to people like me who are somewhat disabled.
Diane does a marvelous job at her 11:30 class on Monday. She also treats us as special.
Primarily, I workout on my own to swim/bike/run. Plenty of equipment & nice pool. I drive to Shadowbend even though there are facilities a lot closer to me.
Facilities are excellent, having a whirlpool and sauna is wonderful, but I regret the lack of provided towels. I would pay an extra monthly fee to not have to bring my own.
There is a good variety of activities at a balanced value-cost ratio. Being able to use the heated pool all year long is a plus and the equipment at the weights room is good enough to keep you in shape.
E-Gym is outstanding program……needs to be replicated at Branch Crossing location!
I especially like open play pickleball as well as the e-machines. It gives me the flexibility of time that I need. And I like the neighborhood feel, comfortable for all ages.
I enjoy the 8:30 am classes 5 days a week. Great instructors and really safe & thorough cardio & weight (& resistance) workouts! (Hoping Lisa Serice returns -- sadly not loving Terri's teaching style)

Gym setting
Thank you for your service to the senior citizen community of which I am a part of. Your staff at the front desk are especially welcoming and helpful. Such staff as Lauren and Lauryn, also Violet.
Ben, also is kind and helpful. He helped with the wellness scan. At the beginning in the EGym, Christian was very instrumental in showing me what to do and how to use the machines. The instructor, Annette, is also a blessing as well. I have gone to 2 of the sessions and I have 2 more sessions to get more of the exercises practiced. Thank you all so much, I appreciate your support and help!
Very cool that there is a year round indoor pool! The staff was very kind and helpful
I am very happy with what the YMCA offers seniors like me. I have been a member of Shadow Bend for nearly 16 years. I go there 3 or 4 times a week. i love those that I socialize with as well as the exercise in a friendly and safe enviroment.
Trainers are great and very helpful. It’s wonderful that you have classes that are geared to certain age groups and also fitness levels.
