Member Testimonials
I couldn't give an objective opinion, as I don't use the programs. I exercise on my own.
Silver Sneakers and Forever Young. Everyone is personable & very helpful
iI would like to see more programs for Senior citizens.
E gym machine
Great activity, wonderful group of kids. The kids are challenged while being their true selves, which helps build confidence.
Love the equipment. The E Gym is great for a guy 81 years old. Love the pool where I jog in water. The staff are friendly and helpful. The other people working out are also pleasant and helpful if needed.

Water
I like the water classes.
I like EGYM
Overall, I love working with my personal trainer, Kim Cox, at the Shadowbend YMCA. However, I'm not very happy about recent equipment changes to the blue floor room where I train with her. The large variety of hand weights have been replaced with fewer and more limited options like 5, 10 & 15 lb weights. Most women and especially elderly women need smaller increases in weight increments. The old equipment was much better than the new option. Plus the room is now very crowded with equipment which leaves few corners/areas where people can place an exercise mat and be out of the way. Equipment also now blocks one of the mirrors that can no longer be used.
I love the eGym.
Love the Egym
The sauna is now hot and always working. The showers are now much better since they changed the shower heads and added the curtains.
Several Senior programs available. Instructors are friendly and programs are geared to seniors.
The variety of programming is remarkable. I use the gym a lot, both the E-Gym equipment as well as the Precor machines. We have so many seniors who prefer E-Gym that the waits are increasing. Eventually, people adjust their schedule to leads busy times but then those times get busier. I wish there was more space for more E-Gym equipment.
The digital/automated exercise cycle is the best I do my workout while playing video games
One membership, multiple locations.
EMachines
I enjoy the opportunities that the Y offers.
I love your water aerobics instructor, Debbie Phillips. She is very knowledgeable and makes the class fun. Your pool is very clean and large enough for our class with the added benefit of being covered.
The life guards are wonderful. Very helpful and always willing to help
There is something for everyone at any age.
Many group activities and staff is fantastic
Trainers are great and very helpful. It’s wonderful that you have classes that are geared to certain age groups and also fitness levels.
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.
Generally able to use equipment. Could use a couple of traditional exercise bikes as the recumbents dominate that room. Staff is pretty friendly. Other clients are very friendly especially the senior folks. Wish i could figure out how to get sound in my ear buds when watching Pluto tv. Haven’t been able to get help to make it work. Other than that, no issues. Parking is good.
