Lots of group exercise classes to choose from
Lots of classes to choose from; good instructors and lots of machines. Always someone who can teach you how to use each machine.
We like the classes for seniors. I also was grateful for the swimming pool for adults during the pandemic.
There is something for everyone. People are welcoming. I like the yoga and zumba classes.

Parking is easy. Facility is clean. Info is accurate. Staff is friendly, clientele is diverse. The temp in the halls and classrooms is too cold for my blood.

Fitness classes
YMCA swimming and water aerobics help me stay healthy and somewhat fit.
I have not done a class in awhile due to back surgery. But enjoy the treadmill and pool. Especially the pool. I am extremely unhappy that I can hardly ever get a walking lane.
Clean well lit facilities with up to date well maintained equipment. Good choice of classes and activities. Friendly and helpful staff.
The variety of group exercise classes, especially the ones suitable for seniors such as the Forever Well classes. At other gyms the classes were always too intense and too loud and I always ended up dropping out.
Water exercise classes are great, but WE Need MORE classes. The existing ones are really FULL. The pool is crowded with adults exercisers and kids that are in swimming lessons. Also would like to see ANOTHER water aerobics class like Dee used to teach before COVID with the
WAVE program she used. Lean Walker is a fabulous chair yoga teacher. I really enjoy her class.
everything
I like the weight room, especially the free weight section.

I utilize he pool and love being able to schedule my time in the pool. Knowing you have a lane to swim in is important to me in my busy schedule and much appreciated. Shadowbend staff are always helpful, polite, and seem to be well organized.
