Large variety of classes. Debbie Phillips is the BEST instructor for low impact combo and water exercise.
I like the cleanliness and organization of the equipment / facilities / locker room

Enjoy Silver Sneakers and most Forever Well classes - except for certain substitute instructors, namely Nellie and James.
Would like more Silver Sneakers and more of instructor Debbie P.
I like the exercise classes; the instructors are great!
I really enjoy the classes offered. I wish there were more afternoon - specially Friday, Saturday and Sunday classes, such as yoga/body balance, Zumba etc.
We also enjoy the e-gym equipment.
One area of complain is the lack of private changing stalls in the ladies and men locker rooms.
My son also complained that the men locker showers don’t have curtains - no privacy.
I love the water aerobics especially with Debbie. Would like to see a class on Saturday morning. Nellie doesn’t come prepared. She spends 10 min during our session getting weights out instead of having them out at beginning before we start.
Lots of activities for the over 50 crowd.
I love Zumba!
Love water aerobics classes and game days
The aquatic facilities are unmatched. The people are wonderful and so are the programs for everyone.
I really enjoy the variety of the classes available. I enjoy that you have times available for pickleball. I really like those weight machines that auto adjust with the "bracelet". It is a wonderful place for all ages. It serves as a neighborhood place, not just a gym.
I gave a 9, and not a 10, for a few reasons.
-These machines I refer to above are often challenging to get on because of the number of people using them, especially at certain hours.
-I would love to play more pickleball there, but for now it is just unorganized drop in- I have shown up when there was only one other person there; I have seen a very wide range in ability- not ideal to put advanced players with beginners (I have been playing for 3 years at an intermediate level).
-Some friends who also belong there and I agree that we wish there were options for shorter classes as well- 1/2 hour classes instead of 1 hour.
Shadowbend YMCA is a wonderful place to workout and enjoy friends. The facility is super clean, kids and adults are well-mannered, and the staff is so helpful. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality work out facility.
I like the variety of classes and the times the classes are offered. I also like the separate rooms for the individual workouts.
One thing I find distracting is, an instructor who turns the class music up to a loud volume and then spends the class trying to talk over it.
I like indoor pool. The instructors are great.
Keep it simple. We don’t need a full service, all-inclusive gym. Great child watch, clean weight room and locker room, family oriented programming.
I am here happy with all you provide. However, it would be nice if members be told that I phones are not permitted to be used while occupying workout equipment.
The ones I attend with Lori are totally in line with my age and fitness level.
The staff is exemplary! I really appreciate Tori at the pool and Inga at the front desk!

I like the aqua exercise class the only negative I have is that they only have the early morning class and shouls have a later class than 8:30 am. They should have a 10:00 am class
Wonderful friendly staff
Convenient location lots of activities.
Been using the pool for 25 years.
Many different programs and facilities for all ages. Helpful staff. A wonderful Master Swim team and coach!
I like the schedule of classes and instructors.
Love the pickle ball and yoga
Well equipped gym at an affordable price.
The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Very comfortable from our very first day! I attend mostly group exercise classes but now my family is able to exercise together as well.
I personally use exercise machines.
Very good facilities!
