Silver sneaker classes are very helpful and instructors do a great job!
i like the variety of type of classes and the proficiency of the instructors. There are classes for all ages and strengths.
Basically, a one monthly payment for any class is amazing. There are some additional pay classes of course, but the value of the YMCA services is exceptional.
Should have more self defense classes
Extensive group fitness schedule. Decent class sizes. Variety of classes at different branches.
Lots of different classes; good instructors.
I appreciate that body combat is offered which it isn’t at my local Gretna y. I also like that towels are handed out.
Wide variety.

How many options there are, the hours are good and the different skill level classes
The price and quality
A very clean gym and the staff and members are mindful & friendly to others! Thanks to the child watch program I am able to have a little time to workout every morning too. Thank you YMCA staff for your hard work!
ACCESSIBILITY. I have never been to a gym with such diverse ages and abilities, all welcomed into group classes. I’ve avoided working out in public for years because I didn’t think I’d be able to keep up, but the way each instructor adapts the time to a variety of levels is so welcoming and fun. I keep trying new classes just to see what they’re like - and for someone with major social anxiety, that’s saying something!
Friendly staff & usually warm water
I do wish the camp kids could keep to a schedule so we could plan our visits in advance and avoid the chaos and loss of the use of pool spaces.
Everything is great to me
Great staff. Facility is clean. Rooms are nicely setup.
I love the Papillion YMCA but they need to start the air conditioner earlier in the morning to cool the front area. The cycling room is so humid and hot until we are literally done with the class. Whomever is sitting at the front desk for the first 2 hours suffers from the hot and humid conditions also. I think this could be easily fixed by starting the AC up front by at least 4:30 in the morning. These conditions are really having me think about leaving the Y which I really don't want to do. I love the instructors for cycling and the comradery with the fellow spinners.
It is fun to have an indoor swimming pool to visit when my kids want to swim!
This has been the most incredible experience for my child who also has a disability!!! They are all so kind, caring and compassionate. My daughter begged me not to go get her early. It is her only opportunity to play with other friends away from mom as the staff helped me manage her diabetic numbers since she is a type 1 diabetic since 6 years old.
So far so good!
The instructors! Smart and experienced, and they make classes fun.

Variety of activities for kids. Split into smaller groups even though the whole group is a large number. Field trips are a great bonus! Appreciate the early drop and late pick up. Great value for camp.
