Member Testimonials
Reasonable child membership fee. Fun sports programs with membership discount. Pool and rowing machine.
Great way to introduce children to a new sport. Coaches and officials are very knowledgeable.
I love how great all the staff are. My kids have been playing for the Y over 15 years and we absolutely love the atmosphere. It’s like a big family!!

Kiaja is my trainer at Southwest YMCA, Omaha. She has worked with me for nearly one year. I trust her guidance. Kiaja has earned my confidence. She has a good balance of professionalism and friendliness.
I am a retired senior, living on a fixed income. The investment to have a weekly 30 min. workout with Kiaja has proven to be money well spent. I can see & feel the results.
Kiaja is a valuable asset to my neighborhood YMCA.

My son has been with the same Team for a couple years. He enjoys the coach and we love the convenience of the location of games and practices!
Variety of equipment and activities are available
My kid enjoys basketball
I like to do aquatic exercises in the pool and the life guard sees that I have a wallet and he helps me out by getting the dumb bells he knows I use out for me by the pool. I am very thankful for his help.
My son really enjoys playing basketball through the Y. He didn't make the school team so this is a wonderful alternative. Love the Y!
Affordable programs and good organization. Thankful for this level of sports when kids don't want to join club teams but still want to play.
This is our first experience with basketball and I am very impressed with how well organized it has been. In addition, the facilities are terrific. Thank you
The basketball level is perfect for a first time player. Good coaching, good sportsmanship, and they have a lot of fun.
convienent,
It is just a great opportunity to engage in some physical activity for obvious health reasons, but as an added bonus it is a chance to meet some great people and enjoy the social part as well.
The whole staff at the Y are to be commended for their friendly manner and willingness to help
Open gym/basketball on Wednesdays. Bodypump on Wednesdays. Pool
The variety of classes and the friendliness of the people that go there.
I love the fluidity the Southwest YMCA has shown with professionalism and conduct throughout the ever-changing environment of COVID-19. The staff has been extremely well trained and emotionally aware of the stresses this virus has caused and has really been a beacon of optimism during this frankly depressing time we are living. This branch has done a great job of offering anything and everything they can to continue to serve the community while keeping a focus on the safety of the staff and members participating. The information and follow-up of the front desk staff to keep the members in the loop on changes have been executed at the best level possible with how much has changed. This speaks to the leadership of that department and the branch. It is nice to see the consistency of familiar faces regarding staff within Southwest. It has felt like there have only been one or two people that have remained there in the past 3-4 years. To me, these one or two people have been a huge part of maintaining a great staff/member relationship. I believe her name is Shelby at the front desk. I feel like each time I have talked with her, there hasn't been a time where she didn't know the answers about activities and programs going on within the branch. If it wasn't for her impact, I would have probably started going to another branch within Omaha. I think she was a trainer or in wellness in years past and always has a smile on her face and a positive attitude. It seemed like prior to her arrival the programs and training program were all over the place and she must have had a part in that turnaround. If you're looking for a face of your branch, I believe that would have to be her. Kudos for keeping her on and need to find more people like her and this branch will keep doing great. I look forward to getting out of this pandemic and seeing your programs/activities grow to serve the community! Thank you for doing everything you can to keep these available during the tough time as best as you guys have. It has definitely helped me to have that outlet available as a single person for social benefits and my mental health. THANK YOU!
We are the best, duh
Gym is comfortable to work out in. Everyone is friendly who works there!
Silver Sneakers class very good and Jackie the instructor is outstanding. Lenore Halm
I use the pool and gym equipment. I haven't done activities yet, although the new schedule makes it more possible.
Pickleball and swimming
I like that you have early classes (afternoon and early evening), so that I am not working out so late at night. Your instructors are all very friendly and welcoming!
So far, I am glad we signed up for swimming lessons at Southwest YMCA.
All of the water workout classes
We came for the family swim recently. I’m very pleased with the hours of availability!
The variety.
The group fitness classes are awesome as well as all the individual exercise challenges. The monthly cycling challenges are great. I do wish you could find a Saturday yoga instructor with any training whatsoever, though.
Welcoming, friendly, teaches great lessons without a focus on victory.
