Member Testimonials
I use the aquasize classes and the instructors are great. Each is different and are all effective.
The Y is a great place!
I have not participated in programs or activities except for 'get started.' In those two sessions, I found Tommy to be welcoming, engaging, encouraging and enthsiastic.
In my first month, the staff all seem to be welcoming, warm, friendly and inclusive.
The pool is great and vital to my well-being, but I wish they’d had the forethought to make the lap area full size;3 lanes are not enough. One note of caution: don’t go swimming on Sunday morning because there’s a creep videotaping with his phone all over the pool whiles families with their kids and individuals are swimming. I’m pretty sure that’s illegal. I’ve reported it many times.
Everyone was so helpful and nice, it was my first time going to the southwest location and Ashley showed me around and front desk and ycare employees were all so helpful! Thank you guys for making such a wonderful experience!
The swimming lessons are wonderful. We have done them at SW before, and decided to try out our "home" location. After 2 sessions there, we decided it was worth making the drive from Blair down to SW.
We love the consistency of the teachers- my son has autism, and knowing what to expect makes a huge difference for him in terms of learning and feeling comfortable in his environment overall.
At our other sessions, we had a new teacher every week and he did not want to attend, when normally he loves swimming.
Since coming back to SW, he is excited and looks forward to lessons! We also really like the 2x/wk option for the Level 5 kids!
Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, and the front desk staff always greets us and says hello.
Love the group exercise classes and instructors
Very clean and spacious. Lots of different exercise classes.
The variety of classes and the staff. 😊
Easy to get involved. Love the pool, locker rooms and individual rooms. Just wish there was more open pool time for adults.
Also frustrating when I see the school students parking in the Y lot which forces the members to park farther away I the side lots.
I do water aerobics Tuesday thru Friday. Each instructor does their own routine. So each day instructors work different muscle groups.
Friendly staff- loving the new programs and fitness classes being offered! Especially like the lighting in the gym- great improvement for pickleball!
Dedication of all staff members.
I like everything about the Y
Lots of options to choose from. Really enjoy the water aerobics with Honey
Love the Silver Sneakers class. Jackie does a great job leading the class and as a group we have all become good friends.
Everyone is friendly. You are allowed to participate at your own ability.
Friendly staff.
The Livestrong program is great! Good leaders running it and good work outs to do at your level of activity. Very encouraging and good education on getting stronger with exercise.
Everything
Book. Club.
The facility is outdated by the activities and staff such as Charissa Wood, Rylie Moler, Tommy and Susan are outstanding. We take our boys there on Sundays. The experience is always great.
Water aerobics.
I like Honey M’s aquatics classes.
Varied classes and instructors.
Senior program is excellent, both exercise and activities. Jackie Wattenhofer is a gem!
We love swimming lessons at Southwest YMCA!
Very nice facility and staff
They are very convenient with times and everyone is so friendly!!
I have been a member for four years and I have had a lot of fun at the YMCA. I especially like the pool but our whole family enjoys the many activities available there. My grandson says, "This is the funnest place!" Great place to take the kids any time.
