Member Testimonials
very knowledgeable staff, Equipment in good shape, quiet environment.,
I like the variety of activities and programming available on a daily basis. While there is structure to the day, that doesn't eliminate the varied activities. I love the walking field trips-it gets them out daily and interacting with the world which I love. Swimming twice a week is always a favorite of my children!
Organized and interactive - lots of things to keep the kids busy and active
Well organized camps, active and engaging activities and no electronics.
I can tell that Carissa really put a lot of thought and hard work into the program as a whole and the different activities that the kids were involved with this year compared to previous years. This is by far been the best.
The staff truly care about the children and worked really hard to get to know them, connect with them and make sure they had a fun and safe summer!
I attend a physical fitness exercise class on Monday and Wednesday at 1:00. It is almost too strenuous for me, but I know it is good for me. Two instructors are involved, usually. One instructs on Monday and one on Wednesday. I will no doubt continue for a long time in the future to gain strength. Everything is positive in the class. Roberta Williston Omaha, NE
The Y has a wide variety of programs and activities at convenient times
I really enjoy the group exercise classes. I go to Group Active and Dance Fit regularly.
I just play pickleball there and classes at Amburst.
Jackie our silver sneekers instructor is wonderful...also I enjoy the the people in the class...wish I would get emails when the y is not open.
I really love the chair yoga class on Wednesday 2pm at southwest ymca.
Also the Thursday night swim class with Kim H.
My favorite machine is the XRIDE. They need more than one!!!
Tommy the trainer is so kind and knowledgeable.
Great people, great location and has everything you need for a great workout!
While I don't use it (wife does), the childcare availability is a HUGE factor for us. Youth programs, equipment, the staff have been excellent.
I love to walk in and be greeted by warm, friendly staff members at the desk. Additionally, I love seeing friends in my Y classes, and at every turn, making new friends among the members. Your instructors are informative, encouraging and in tune with the needs of the members. I can't recommend your branch highly enough! Thanks for everything!
We found the facility to be very clean, and we really liked the pool. The vibe of both the employees and the members was very relaxed and fun.
I like the water aerobics
A great variety of classes are available. The atmosphere at the SW YMCA appears to be positive. Staff members are friendly and helpful.
I'm a big fan of the classes Jackie Wattenhofer teaches at 8:15 AM on Monday through Friday. I've been attending for years, and there is always something different. She's also great at organizing other activities for the participants -- and the participants are a caring group that is concerned about one another.
Good variety of exercise machines, nice clean place to work out.
Very clean facility. Feels like a community here
i lie our instructor Jackie. she challenges us but always offers an alternative.
I really love the activities you do and provide for the kids! Having a weekly email on what to expect is AMAZING and appreciated as a parent-thank you for getting that signed out! I like the variety of things the kids do throughout the day and the walking field trips as well as on site ones are my daughter's favorite! The communication this year was top notch!
If I could give one suggestion, most days I am picking up my child the director of the program is talking with a friend/parent about kids at the program who got sent home (not their child) for shoving someone into a wall or hitting, etc. I understand that happens but she doesn't need to be talking loudly about it with other parents whose children are not involved.
People who work there are friendly.
Good variety of exercise classes. I especially like Jackie's step class and Grace's Zumba class.
Fun
Brain & Body is very vvaluable for those of us with Parkinson's Disease. I try to attrend every class for that reason.
Mens locker rooms have a lot of mold/mildew. I know other branches seem to manage it better. Could be an unfortunate airflow design. Changing the shower curtains help but once they inevitably mildew on them i dont like to touch them. Perhaps some fan would improve airflow.
My son had a great time at your camp and he said it was his favorite camp of the summer
Great instructors and good times for classes. So important to have classes for senior citizens and they accommodate.
