1. Freedom to use equipment and weights as needed. even during busy hours seem to have enough without long delays.
2. The new equipment recently was nice to see.
3. When equipment does have a problem - repairs seem frequent enough to keep the equipment not available very low
4. would like to see more "newer fad" equipment ie; heavy ropes for arms exercise, assisted sit up benches, equipment for balance training, waist and butt specific
I have only used the new Matrix equipment so far and we plan to stop by the pool. I do admire and support YMCA's mission.
I like the senior programs. Would like to see senior zumba come back also. Now I attend cardio walk which is about the right amount of exercise and 45 min. is long enough. I like the machines also, mostly using the treadmill. The leader of cardio walk at SW YMCA is a wonderful leader. She is friendly and energetic.
The variety of classes is great. Especially the Zumba classes. Southwest needed more cardio options. Only change I would like to see is having a cardio class on Mondays. Doing squats on Monday morning at 9:00 is not fun. Also, 9:00 classes should switch to 9:15. That 15 minutes means alot as far as traffic in the area.
We are part of the Silver Sneakers program. The Y gives us a great workout, and we get to see a lot of smiling faces three times a week. We have tried to encourage others to take part in Silver Sneakers.

New treadmill equipment is exceptional
Thank you
Classes geared to my age group .
It is much easier to exercise with someone leading and with scheduled classes. On my own I would probably walk but not do the stretches and work those muscles. I can tell a difference in daily chores because of these exercises.
That they are open to my whole family
Awesome staff
I love this location. Super friendly staff, welcomed with a smile. Engage with kids and adults alike. Very easy going atmosphere, no pretense or judgment. We love it here.
We enjoy Body Pump with Sondra.
Good schedule variety and that you offer both group and private lessons
Machines all work with individual television sets. Men's locker room and shower large enough. It's too bad they don't provide large-size towels anymore.
Clean

New equipment. Wonderful grooved treadmills that make me as older adult feel more in control. Clean locker rooms. Friendly staff.
Variety of classes for Silver Sneakers. Excellent instructors too. The above and beyond activities for seniors.
We love Miss Chloe’s teaching style- she’s low-key, totally gets the kids to do what she wants, and my daughter is trying new, brave things!
I saw real improvement in my daughter swimming technique

We enjoy the swimming pool and the lifeguards on duty. It makes us feel safe and we can get in our laps while our kids play.
