Member Testimonials
nice well maintained facility
I just like the helpfulness and friendly atmosphere
Armbrust YMCA has a great community feel that's promoted by employees. There are so many programs and activities to participate in if members desire. Members of course, have the option to work out on their own inclusive or exclusive of their participation in programs/activities.
Chair yoga
Great people to work with and watch over you so you won't get injured. Work at your pace but you will be pushed a little harder at times. Lot's of variety of coarses.
I love the swim and dance classes.
I love the zero-entry pool! I have three kids, ages 5 and under and we love to come and swim during the winter. The lifeguards are so attentive and aquatics facility is always clean! The front desk staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. My kids love coming to the Y!
We like open gym and the pool.
Very welcoming atmosphere.I do the water aerobics and the water is almost always a good temperature and the instructors are very good. The locker room could use help. Lockers are getting rusty inside.
Currently I use only the treadmill to walk but staff is friendly, place is clean and it appears they have a lot to offer.
The instructors for the aqua interval group classes are fantastic! Maria and Heather are both fun, as well as, great in providing a good work out.
- Convenient times for swimming lessons.
- Plenty of space to change kiddos.
- Plenty of bench space to watch kids learn to swim.
- Always enough parking spots.
- Kind staff.
Friendly staff, good hours!
Great instructors with a variety of classes.
Open swimming works very good with our schedule
I like the classes that are offered.
It’s easy to find a group exercise class and make new friends! Friendly staff are always available too!
They made us feel welcome, our twin river branch was under constraints do to a mal function of electricity. We decided to go to your facility, from the moment we got to your front door to the end of our visit, your staff were very professional and friendly, well done!!
Group classes for seniors
The classes are led by people who enjoy being there and make sure everyone is able to join in however they can. It is good for retired people to have some structure, people contact and movement. It is a pleasure to participate in the classes.
I come because the executive director is hot!
Good equipment, good programs , friendly personnel and clean facility.
The variety and quantity of exercise classes, quality and enthusiastic instructors, and mindfulness on time make the armbrust YMCA my most go-to Y location. I appreciate how classes were shifted from 5:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. to allow those of us who work downtown the opportunity to actually make it out west in time to participate. I also appreciate the number of evening and weekend classes, because some of us just can't get away during the day or are not 5:30am people.
My only gripe is a minor one and not geared towards any one ymca. It has to do with your app. Can you please agree to class names and make sure people understand the proper place to put instructor substitutions? Sometimes a space or punctuation filters out a class and adding a substitute instructor name in the title does the same thing. I do go to a couple other Ys to fill in my workout routine so it can be a bit frustrating. I think I counted 8 circuit classes and 11 or 12 HIIT classes. And is body pump and les Mill's body pump the same thing? Does the registered trademark symbol on some of the classes make it different than ones that don't have it? For those of us who filter classes to see just what they're interested in, those minor differences can create a problem. Minor problem but I imagine I'm not the only one to experiences a bit of frustration with that.
Variety of classes for all ages.
Instructors and classes are amazing!!!!
The YMCA has so many great programs and the facility is always clean and welcoming!
Armbrust is an amazing community of supportive like minded friends! So many great programs from the littlest ballerinas to our active older adults! Classes are fun, engaging and CHALLENGING. They’re let by exceptional instructors who care not just about your performance, but your overall wellbeing. Couldn’t love it more.
Equipment is great and clean. I like the track around the equipment.
Jenn who does the Tuesday/Friday morning at 8:00 a.m. low impact class is great. She is a keeper.
Where the machines are I would suggest a few more sanitation wipes closer to machines.
On the treadmills, when you use a headset when watching tv its all snowy. Maybe vibration of machine is doing it??? Also, its a lot easier on treadmill, using the tv if the tv channels would display vertically instead of using the arrows to change channels. The arrows don't work half the time. Also, is it possible to display what channels has what. Example what channel is hgtv on.
quality equipment, clean environment, friendly and helpful staff.
