Member Testimonials
There is a broad range of programs, exercise classes, equipment, pools - something for everyone.
I am confined to a wheel chair& having the ability to enter/exit the pool via your Lift Chair is well appreciated by me. Also the size of the pool allows me to navigate w/o interfering with other members use of the pool.
Variety
This has been a true blessing for me to find Shadowbend YMCA, and the fact that my insurance covers the "Silver Sneakers" program is a huge plus. Now I have been able to participate in a gym atmosphere and I love it With the update of the new machines and the ability to go to the pool year round, it has made this gym experience the best I have ever had. The programs they offer are designed to be able to include all ages and abilities. Thanks to Shadowbend YMCA and their great dedicated staff. THANKS SO MUCH !!!!
Your people. Your facility and the water aerobics classes.
It is good place to exercise and take classes and make some good friends. I like it.
Pool and pool
Many choices of classes.
I like all the workout machines and that’s what I am working on now.
Friendly, welcoming place. For the most part, equipment is always ready and accessible. Programming seems to meet the needs of most people. I would, however, like to see tai chi offered, since it is an ideal exercise for all, including seniors. There is a need for more upright bikes, or put time limits of the three you have. Great front staff means a lot!
instructors are very knowledgeable
great music!

Don’t use any programs, but facilities and equipment in the exercise areas are first rate.
a wonderful variety. Especial for older adults
The facility is clean. Nice variety and times for programs. Please keep the cardio machines in better working order. The heart rate buttons on the ellipticals don’t work. Some of the ellipticals don’t have a smooth ride.
Nice facility, great instructors and plenty of different exercise classes and times.
I like the fact that no one bothers me with things that I am probably not interested in. The information is available and plenty help if I need it. Love the Y...
