I love Silver Sneakers. You REALLY need to fix the sound system though! Instructors mic is in and out throughout the entire class! Hard to hear instructions and I'm sure it's distracting for the instructor too
I like the Body Pump, Yoga, and Spin classes; excellent instructors!
I love the egym, water aerobics Tues/Thurs and the hot tub/sauna/womens locker room.
Don't love Monday's WA instructor. She's 'in the water' while instructing so you can't hear or see her actions! Probably won't be back on Mondays.
Love the machines and the balance class. Diane is a great teacher!
My Favorite things about the Shadowbend YMCA are the E-GYM, cleanliness of cardio machines and of course, the best aerobics instructor in The Woodlands, Texas, Debbie!!!
I look forward every MWF for her low impact cardio classes. She’s personable, upbeat and knows how to have fun in her classes.
When I’m not working on T/Th I try to make it to her water class. I would love an evening water class option😄
The Egym is wonderful!
Line dancing is terrific. I wish it were offered more than once a week.
Lap pool
I wish there were more options of the popular classes. Seems some are really full but are only offered a couple of times a week.
Pool
Very nice and clean. I also love this SPA
I love the water walk!! The pool is clean, good temperature. Lifeguards are friendly and very helpful.
E Gym
I like everything about The Y at Shadow Bend in The Woodlands!
The Silver Sneaker teachers are excellent !
Wish Debbie would be there every week- she is great & full of energy (she often subs for Olga)
Great facility, equipment, and people
The staff are friendly and informed. Instructors are exceptional in every way. The facility is clean.
I attend the cardio combo classes at 8:30 on weekday mornings as well as the 8:30am barre classes (sometimes). Both Debbie & Lisa are very good at making sweating fun and informative. Each class is different -- not the same routine/sequence every time. I especially like incorporating step aerobics in the class. Too bad we don't have an all step class (preferably early in the day)!
Most all the participants are friendly and over time you learn their names (& they learn yours!). No one appears to be into "strutting their stuff" (men nor women) which I especially like. We're all there to work out and do our best to stay/become fit so we can live a healthier life.
Able to bring my grandkids as a guest to the pool.
Pool temp is said to be 85degrees but it’s sometimes 82 degrees.
I really like the newer workout equipment, especially the E-GYM where I have had a great orientation by Brooke Stout. Enjoying these workouts. All is going well at your Shadowbend facility from my point of view.
Personal Trainer Kim Cox is the only reason we don’t move th Lifetime Fitness. She won’t move with us.

The place meets my family’s needs. Keep it simple and efficient.
Lots of options, helpful staff, and a good price for families.
Trainers are fantastic. Like you offer Pickleball.
Have been using the pool for 20 years and find it well managed.

Everything is affordable, open schedule.
I also want to recognize Andrew at the front desk. He’s amazing. Great, great customer service. He answered every single question I had in regard of any kids activities. He’s just great
