Good times, staff schedule, neat organized
The refs at Russell middle school Saturday games are fantastic. They are both fair and supportive of the teen mates, encouraging and educating every week.
Kudos to them!
Variety of classes. 4:30 weekday classes
I come to the YMCA almost daily. Hopefully my exercise program maintains and improvey fitness
Instructors are friendly and always take the time to explain what I need to be doing for my fitness program and asking me " how's it going,," or do you have any additional questions,"it's a fun place to try and 👿 my body.
I like the group class using barbells and hand weights. Jen is our instructor and keeps the class going quickly to burn the calories. She does a great job.
The facility is always clean when a I’ve gone..
There are classes for everyone
We love the low pressure recreational option!
All!
Affordable, not focused on winning but team building
Silver Sneakers program is excellent.
I appreciate how YMCA provided an opportunity for my child to learn a new sport in a relaxed environment. I am so thankful that the focus is on learning the sport and growing the skills, NOT winning and being too competitive.
This was my children's first time playing basketball and the coaches were patient and understanding. They fostered a team environment and did not put an emphasis on winning, rather having fun and learning the basics of the game. I also appreciated that the coaches had structure to practices and the children learned listening skills as well.
Great program for kids who are beginners
I like the instructors who encourage us to keep moving and the friendships I have made.
There is something for everyone no matter what age or skill set.
The SW Y is so personable, clean and fun. I would recommend it to everyone!!
Dan McCarthy, the instructor for TiaChi at SW YMCA, Omaha, is a blessing & inspiration. Our community is very fortunate to have Dan McCarthy sharing his life experiences, talents, amazing skills, knowledge, intellect, compassion, empathy, .....
Fortunately for me, Joyce Hildenbrandt, Dan hasn't been discovered more widely; otherwise his classes would be over booked and fully filled.
The Y has a great staff - helpful and friendly. Free weights and machines are plentiful and clean. Have been going for decades and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you.
Variety of classes offered
Schedules work really well with balancing life, work and activities. Coaches are really great too.
I enjoy the instructors and the variety of programs available.
All of the regular Zumba instructors--Emily, Alicia, and Lori--are so outstanding at what they do. They make Zumba the most fun I've had working out. I also really enjoy Eve's Bodypump and Mary's Bodypump. They are both good at motivating us. And I also enjoy Group Centergy with Lisa, who is a talented instructor. Actually, all of these instructors are so knowledgeable and encouraging. I really enjoy group fitness classes at the SW YMCA.
I enjoy the variety of classes that are offered ... I have found classes that the times work for me.
Friendly staff and patrons!!
Convenient, clean and many options!!
I love swimming laps.
Programs offered for Parkinsons people. It’s
great!
The instructors are great.
Senior classes are wonderful.
The YMCA feels like a center of the neighborhood/area. Other fitness places have the aura of not being personable. I don't get that vibe at the Y, it's more personal and welcoming. Keep up the good work.

Session times and places are announced on handouts. Times are convenient.
