Member Testimonials
Great communication and AMAZING coaches! This is the 2nd league that my son has played with and he has learned SO much. We look forward to many more years playing with YMCA.
We love the coaches we have worked with and the focus on skills and sportsmanship over intense competition.
Young kid friendly
Love the variety of classes, especially yoga
We use the swim lessons for our 3 kids. Kollyn is awesome with the kids! Our son had some hesitation about getting in the water one time and she came over and talk in his language to the point that he was laughing and in the water in minutes! She has a great way getting to the kids on their level!
Ari and Nikki are also great with the kids! They are patient and kind to each kid. The whole staff works well together and we never see any issues between them.
We like it so much that we try to get our next lessons scheduled at Armburst but they fill up fast!
Instructors are friendly, encouraging, explain the benefit and proper form for exercises. I've gained strength, balance and confidence the last 3 months of taking group exercise classes at the Y.
Love the classes and instructors!
I just use the pool to exercise, and I enjoy it.
Great opportunities!
The facility is clean, employees are helpful and friendly.
Lamondre has been training me. He is an absolute gem. He’s very knowledgeable. I like that being an older person he conscious of my abilities. I like that he challenges me. I couldn’t be happier with him and what he’s done for me.
Hopefully when I retire I can spend more time at the Y using more of the facility.
I love the variety of classes available and excellent instructors!
Works well with my schedule
Great friendly staff!
have not used any yet
YMCA sports give my kids an opportunity to learn sports without high-pressure club teams. They get to learn teamwork, challenges, and have new experiences in a supportive environment.
Happy you were able to get my daughter in after registration.
Thank you!
Trying to create a culture of fun!
YMCA is a fantastic organization to help kids get started in activities and sets great expectations moving forward as they grow.
Coach is great and very communicative. He puts forth a lot of effort into making sure everyone is included and participating in both practices and games. He has been awesome at including everyone and getting everyone interested as young players and giving them opportunities to grow. Always on time with a plan! Great coach for sure!
Caring for youth and how well organized sports are
The ability for my kids to stay active and have fun with their friends.
I would like to note that the ref who works the 11 year old girls games at the Southwest Y location does his best to take the fun out of the game and does a terrible job with the kids. He is very knit picky and half the time the girls and the fans/parents don’t even know what he blew his whistle for. I have a very good understanding of the game and rule as I play through the collegiate level and half the time he is making things up and is very inconsistent. If he is consistent with one thing, it is being a poor ref to both sides.
All other refs I’ve watched have done a great job with the kids. They make sure they are having fun and if they have to call something, they do a great job of explaining the rules and how they can fix it for the future.
Builds friendships and teaches teamwork and good sportsmanship . We love that our kids are learning how to play different sports without being in too competitive of environments
This is the first year we’ve done YMCA sports and have felt happy with our decision. Teams/kids and parents have been friendly and helpful.
We understand that it’s volunteer coaching, so we understand hiccups here and there.
We’d definitely recommend.
Very affordable and the times are very convenient.
Love the Y and what it means to our kids.
I absolutely love that they have childcare and how amazing all of the staff were that helped take care of them while I was achieving my fitness goals. There are not a lot of options in Gretna for fitness as a single mother when needing care so it’s my favorite feature. The equipment is also very nice and spread out so that you have room to lift without feeling like you might bump into someone every two seconds! Very clean and welcoming :)
Affordable. Good competition. Encourage all players to get a fair chance to play.
We requested to be on the same team as a friend and always get put on the same team. I know that can be difficult as there are thousands of kids signing up but very appreciative
I enjoy using the weight machines, treadmills and stationery bikes.
We enjoy the Volleyball program.
