Love the water aerobics classes!!
You have a good variety of classes for all ages.. I am happy to see some new classes like tia chai.
Love the Lunch n Learn and other programs with informative speakers.
Love the coffee hours for friendships.
Love the friendly staff, who are hard workers
Convenient location, friendly helpful staff, good variety of classes, up to date equipment
Some of the classes are two times with different teachers.
We love the Active Older Adults programs. The two directors, Maureen and Catherine work so hard to plan exciting and fun events for the older adults. The day trips, Lunch & Learn, Food & Forum, Social hours, different outings are wonderful.
We also enjoy the classes for the Older Adults.
The YMCA Shadow Bend is a fun to attend. Exercise, social activity, meeting new friends.
Senior activities
Friendly. Has a 'complete' list of activities.
Water aerobics- great teachers!
Tha Shadowbend Y provides not only exercise but fellowship and fun. My life would be much poorer if I was not able to attend. Most weeks I am there at least 5 days per week.
I love the space, the professionals, in everything.
The instructors and their positive attitude.
Recumbent bikes
Lots of zumba and yoga classes. But I would like to see some classes during the 12-3
Time slots
Nice facility, excellent instructors, and a good selection/time of classes.
The staff are very friendly, warm and helpful, the programs and activities are a good deal for the price and the facility is well maintained. The safety hazard of the medicine ball tower in the weight room has been rectified (although it took a while from the first time I reported it) and there now appears to be more room for floor workouts in the weight room (one of the huge cardio machines has been removed from that area ...hope it's not coming back).
Senior programs of all kinds kinds: aquatics, yoga, Zumba, tai chi, etc.
Excellent YMCA!
The people, ALL VERY HELPFUL
I like the early morning classes, especially the spin. I commute so I have to work out early in the morning. It would be nice if there we more early morning classes during the week.
The pool and class.
Something for everyone
Ease of joining- friendly atmosphere- availability of exercise equipment and programs
Variety, amount of classes and the people
The variety of classes and most of the instructors.
Pool activities for Seniors
I do not participate in any of the organized programs. Only use the weight room. Wife does enjoy the senior exercises program, usually 2 times a week.
I don't expect to have anyone ask me for a gym recommendation, if by a rare chance someone should ask I would give the Shadowbend Y a thumbs up.
Your employees.
I love the range of activities being offered, plus how affordable they are.

I like the programs that they have and it is very close to were I live!
