Such a variety!!! Every class brings something new to learn & challenges you physically! Love the Y & tall everyone I know how much I love it
There are a variety of classes for all ages and abilities. I like the time schedules you for your classes. My father was a member of "The Y's men" of the Des Moines, IA YMCA for years. I have problems with my knees and back. I love the deep water aerobics and low impact classes.
The variety of classes available are great, but what really makes this YMCA stand out is the friendliness of most of the staff. They go above and beyond in greeting you, in positivity, encouragement and helpfulness. This trickles down to the members, making the Armbrust Y one of the friendliness Y's I've ever attended.
The introduction to the sports.
My son has really enjoyed the Basketball program
Great price and great people.
Great choices at all levels and ages
Heather's chair yoga and pilates class.
I feel like I am a part of a community. The staff always listens and responds to any queries and suggestions.
I love the variety of group classes that are offered. Your leaders are all so very good. They make exercise classes fun. A surprise, but wonderful benefit is the friendships that we have formed with people we have met at the Y. I have also enjoyed the personal training, even though I haven't been able to do more. But, learning some exercise routines and how to properly use the many machines, always makes it comfortable to come to the Y and exercise. Such a friendly staff! Keep up the good work.
Aqua size exercise
Pool and personal trainer. I prefer water exercise because of arthritis.
The instructors are amazing! Genuinely concerned with your progress and health. Very clean facility!
I adore the Group Fitness Classes! I love working out with my friends, who always keep me accountable and I love the instructors!
For me, it's the convenience of being close to home
I came to this YMCA because the pool at Southwest YMCA was closed. It is too far for me to keep coming here, but I would recommend it to someone who lived closer.
It is conducted well and simple to follow
People are friendly, equipment is in good shape, it's open when I want to work out, not overcrowded.
I love to swim and do the aquatics classes
The YMCA oath said before every game. Coaches and referees are pleasant.
