Plenty of stuff for people of all ages!
Everything is very good the people that work their are great
I enjoy the classes. I regularly attend: yoga, Body Flow, and Body Pump. The instructors are excellent.
Easy
Convince of schedule
I'm overall happy with variety of activities and choices for fitness. I would like to recommend adding some different machines that increase the "fun" of working out. For example: There is an ab machine on the market that is also a basketball/hoop shot game. You complete a crunch then shoot a ball at a basket. Machines that have built in games I'd guess you say. Something to make working out a little more entertaining. Especially the cardio machines. Maybe on a stationary bike we have an interactive screen to race the computer. Not all machines can have that I realize. Another idea would setup machines to track a points system. When a person sits down at a machine they either scan their barcode or type in their fitness ID number. Then have a main computer system that tracks points for competitions for fun. Strictly voluntary of course. The YMCA can have fun little "goals" then give out a small inexpensive prize for hitting your points goal. That would give extra motivation for gym go-ers. Just brainstorming ideas on how to better modernize the fitness areas.
The abundance of classes
Chair yoga, tai chi, weight lifting
Group exercise classes
I like all the programs for seniors!
I have always enjoyed the water classes but feel very unsafe now having to go through the very slippery shower area to access the pool. Someone is surely going to fall with this scenario. I would hesitate to recommend the classes with this requirement.
Things are well organized
Forever well group classes , water exercise water walking
The lap swim schedule is very organized. However, I don’t think there should be such a high monthly fee for Master’s swim
I love the Child watch program and my kids love going too! Body pump is also my favorite class.
Good workouts and excellent instructors.
All the classes offered
Love the ymca, great customer service. People come 1st.
I enjoy cycling and body pump classes. The instructors are great. They make the class challenging and fun. I also enjoy swimming laps in the pool. The scheduling system ensures I have a lane to swim in.
The indoor pool and the reservation system.
Readily accessible, well organized, and very accommodating.
Great Instructors
I love the swimming, wish they would open door closest to pool.
The YMCA in both Woodlands sites promotes community and overall wellness. It's not a promo or a "line." It has always been what they do. In times of crisis, they have stepped up their game to help those in need.
I like the reservation system for the swimming pool. I am sure of a lane to swim when I come to the Y.
There is a lot to choose from. The whole family can enjoy.
Availability of classes I can attend after work or on weekends
I am so glad to be back at the YMCA at Shawdowbend! I appreciate them offering high quality programs for all interests and doing all they can to keep the facility clean and safe. I prefer intense cardio and am glad Body Combat has been added back in at this location. I am still missing Cardio Mix with Allister and hope it gets brought back...one of the best classes you had and accessible to so many age groups and ability levels!
I am a swimmer. Being able to schedule my lane time is not only convenient but very much appreciated. With confidence I know when I go to swim, I have space to do so! Thanks to all the staff at The Shadowbend YMCA, They make it happen!
