Member Testimonials
Organize very friendly people
Love going to the Y. All of the instructors are great! Everyone is so friendly.
Enjoyed encouragement from staff and participants, “Do what feels good to you. I’ve been doing this for years”
Programs and activities are suitable for all people at different age stages.
My favorite activities are the water aerobics, low impact cardio, and yoga.
Lots of activity and friendly people
I very much enjoy the personal training and my granddaughter has done very well with private swim lessons
Great senior classes with good teachers. Great co participants in class.
Very convenient
I have only used the treadmill since I joined YMCA but look forward to trying some of the programs. There are always available machines & the atmosphere is pleasant.
Class with Austin was great last Friday
Choice of actives.
I LOVE the classes given by Debbie P (low impact cardio and water exercise) and really like the Silver Sneakers classes. I get a real workout without hurting my knees. Thank you for offering these!
I love the preprogrammed exercise machines
I love doing laps in the pool, and the security given by having lifeguards there
Activities for seniors
Love the staff and programs that are offered
Enjoy silver sneakers
I LOVE my line dance class on Friday mornings! Melissa is a wonderful instructor, and I have made many new friends as well. I also am very appreciative of how clean and shiny all the facilities are. The ladies locker room is always spotless because Gabby keeps it that way, and she also always greets you with a smile. My husband works out while I dance on Fridays, and we both look forward to Friday morning at Shadowbend YMCA! What a blessing it has been.

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!
