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.
Fun and easy to participate in.
They take time to ensure each individual child gets what they need
Silver Sneakers classes are the best and allows fellowship among the group.
My kids loved how each day was different. Kept them engaged and active.
Swim lessons, lots of active play, drawing and reading time.
It wears the kids out
The camp is run very efficiently. I appreciate the weekly emails detailing the camp schedule for each group. The activities planned have a nice balance between physical activity and creative exploration.
the kids really enjoy it!
Sarpy county Y is the best, makes you feel welcomed everytime you walk into the facility The silver sneaker staff, Tammy, Maria, Maureen are the best.
I only have one complaint....... Parent's need to be told sooner than the last lesson on what level your child needs to go in next lesson. By the time we are told early bird sign up is over and we're pretty much out of luck to get into that level and are put on a waiting list.
Great program & staff.
We have the best coach this season! Very friendly and so good with the kids while still teaching them the fundamentals of baseball. He is so patient very nice to see the program making it about the kids learning and not about who’s playing winning and losing.
I love the classes and instructors
The Y offers a variety of workout classes that are fun to take and diverse in the type of exercises offered. The instructors are amazing, each in their own right They are smiling the whole time they are leading the class and offering words of encouragement to everyone. You can tell that they really love their jobs. There is a certain social aspect to being in the class from the other students as well - everyone makes you feel welcome. Any day that starts at the Y is going to be a good day.
Great variety of fitness activities and equipment; staff always available to show you how to use equipment; members are at all levels of fitness so no judging; hours are convenient. Most of all is intro sessions with personal trainer. Dan B was knowledgeable and encouraging!
Classes that I enjoy
I enjoy the group classes, (especially Body Pump), because I push myself more than I do when I'm exercising on my own. The accountability in doing exercise tracks with others is very helpful and the instructors are fun, relatable, and energizing.
I like the way you teach swimming. Very positive & encouraging environment & staff. Appreciate your emphasis on safety.

How many options there are, the hours are good and the different skill level classes
