Member Testimonials
Have equipment and programs I can use.
There is a great variety of classes.
For me the best is the pool and all the aquatic classes
Silver Sneakers
The best trainers ever
Pros: The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The facility is clean, and the equipment that I need is abundant enough that it has always been available. Parking has never been an issue. Of the locations I've been to, the Sarpy facility has the best arrangement for disabled people.
Cons: They are currently dealing with a water issue in the shower. The locker room and showers for disabled people, while better than other facilities, are still somewhat lacking, and poorly thought out. Many of the Matrix exercise machines appear to suffer from regular errors which require a staff member to reset them before they can be used.
Quite a variety
Staff and equipment!
You have a great variety for all ages and needs.
We feel like a family. Teachers and staff make us feel welcome and cared for.
The instructors, really care and keep track of thier students. You feel l I'm ke you matter by thier actions.
I love Aquacise. Melody does such a great job, is so upbeat and encouraging.
I recently sent an email complaining that the water is too cold. Several of the water aerobics classes have older people, probably many with arthritis. I did some research and the Arthritis Foundation recommends water aerobics water temp 83-88 degrees. I had the lifeguard check one day and it was 79 degrees and I think some days it is colder than that. I never received a replay from the complaint I submitted.
I don't use any of them I like the pool but the hours are a bit wonky because I work during the days when I'd have time to swim an in the mornings when i work out the pool isn't open to everyone it's only open to older people last time I looked.
The equipment at the YMCA in Sarpy County provides the newest equipment. In addition, the friendly staff is ready to help out with any questions or problems.
I like the Dancefit classes the best, I wish they were offered more than once a week in the evenings.
No problems
I play lunch pickup basketball 3x a week. Its a great workout, fun, and I've made new friends in our community that I never would have otherwise.
I enjoy the Silver Sneakers classes.
We like the challenging fitness classes- particularly those offered after 4:30 pm. on weekdays.
I like the friendliness of the staff and instructors--from the moment that you come in the door and class rooms, you are always welcomed , making you feel at home--I like this very much and find it extremely important
I especially like the friendliness of the staff--from the moment that you come in the door at the Welcome Center and all of the classrooms, you are welcomed and made to feel at home! This means a lot to me and sets the tone for my work-out.
I additionally like how the instructors will greet and welcome a new participant and let them know what to expect in the work-out scheduled and to feel free to ask questions along the way. The cycle instructors are always willing to take time to help new people to set their bikes up correctly and properly for their height and level of ability.
I love the Sarpy YMCA and their values!
The pool
Like the “dance” classes in the late afternoon…what upsets most of “us” the most is canceling a class without notice, and then not getting an instructor for the same time slot…do not want a dance class starting at 7 or 7:30 at night…
The variety of classes and the great instructors
I think all of the activities and programs that the Y offers are beneficial. Promotes wellness for all ages. I would definitely refer anyone who is looking to improve a healthy lifestyle.
