Member Testimonials
I've been going to the SW YMCA for many years. My favorite activity has been Jujutsu, with Tyrone Abdul.
Quality of swim lessons, clean facility, convenient location
We had a great experience with our two girls starting swim lessons at the Y! Their instructor was awesome and it's something they look forward to every week!
Timing is convenient for me
Staff is great and I enjoy the classes and the schedule.
Never too crowded, good equipment. Could use an extra spin bike in the main workout area
Enjoy the pool, and the people who share that resource. Friendly and supportive. And clean
Just experienced a great Zumba class. Alicia was very motivating and easy to follow. Lots of energy and enthusiasm. I'll definitely be back.
Pickleball
The silver sneakers class is at convenient times and there’s a choice of two different instructors. The staff is very pleasant and always helpful.
Great facility, layout is a bit strange when trying to use the weight machines. Everyone is super nice and accommodating.
I am going to try the silver sneakers tomorrow
I enjoy classes - Acquacize, Silver Sneakers & Chair Yoga
Nice clean facility. Friendly staff.
They are very friendly, and the classes are great. I love the extra things we do like picnics and field trips.
At the Southwest YMCA, I utilize the exercise equipment (not the free weights) as an
aging 75 YMCA member.
I appreciate the friendly staff who listen intently to an old fool with a blevy of
bad jokes.
Thank you, SW YMCA staff and members!
The time of day and how often
Friendly.
Personal service.
Group exercise provides good strength training. I would like to see Pilates type classes during the week, daytime.
Instructors are well trained and dedicated to providing a good, safe workout. Very pleasant, fun group.
They offer everything we need and the staff are very friendly!
Staff is friendly and helpful
Jackie is a great instructor
I like the variety of equipment, classes and hours.
Most classes are offered more than one time.
Teachers treat guests as adults.
My son’s instructor is awesome! She is very kind and has a passion for teaching. We greatly appreciate her!
Swimming
I go to various classes at a variety of different Y locations around Omaha.
Jackie's aerobics class is the best. It is a good workout. Jackie is easy to follow and makes it so much fun that I don't notice that I'm really working up a sweat.
The knowledge and helpful instructors,
all the different classes, activities, and speakers are wonderful.
I attend Jackie's 8:15 classes five days a week. There is always variety in her classes -- I encounter new movements all the time and I've been coming to the Y for 20+ years! As I always tell people when I talk about the Y, the people who come to a class at 8:15 AM are always fun to be around and care for one another.
(To be honest, I hate to promote her classes -- the Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes may max out the space if they get much bigger!)

Help from personal trainer
The kids are busy and enjoy their time doing different activities. They have complained of some buying that is occurring so possibly a bigger staff to child ratio would help? But overall we have been happy with it
