Member Testimonials
This year ran smoother than others- only drawback was one team that’s the 7/8th graders played. I believe they were a BJSA team and they had TERRIBLE sportsmanship and playing very “dirty” no manners and their cheering section wasn’t much better either. One kid did get ejected on their team and I hope it showed our team how NOT to treat teammates and referees.
Diverse and inclusive, great group fitness options. I especially like the addition of 6 pm yoga on Wednesdays
Your hours for the pool are so consistent, it makes going easy. The showers are the only drawback, its a little inconsistent. I don't swim there all the time but when I do I try and remember which cube has the best water pressure and heat. As I think about it, the shorter spiecket (sp?) has the best heat and pressure.
I have only been to the Southwest Y twice so far but was very impressed! Everyone was so friendly and I truly appreciated the information I learned in Zach's Pickleball intro course. I will be back.
Friendly and helpful staff.
you have a lot of great programs that that are helpful for all ages.
At age 74, I utilize the exercise machines but not the free weights.
The staff and fellow Y members are helpful and friendly.
Visuallly impaired and not driving, I don't get to travel from my home
near 45th & Center Sts to visit the Y as often as I should.
Thank you.
Personnel at SW Omaha Y are fantastic! Best staff I have ever experienced at a gym. This is a major strength for this facility. We feel very comfortable having our daughter at this location.

Pickelball and the nicest people playing!
The Y is always spic and span. It has good equipment, well organized. The weights are easily accessible and and in good condition. There are lots of bikes and treadmills so there is usually no waiting to get on the equipment. The gym is large and well lit.
The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. It is wonderful that they cater to all ages from children to Old folks like me.
My only pet peeve is when they play loud blaring music or radio in the weigh room.
There are fitness programs for all levels/ages. The staff is extremely helpful and very pleasant to deal with. The facility is well kept.
