Member Testimonials
Location
My family loves that there's something for everyone to do at our YMCA, from baby up to Adult.
Good variety of programs, especially the pickleball! Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
I love the warm pool and the gym area is well rounded for personal training. Offering pickleball is a fun way to socialize. The staff here as well as volunteers are super nice people.
Strengthening fellowship and fun
The pool is good but I most enjoy the camaraderie and pickleball
I have only used the pool so far. I love that it is therapeuticly heated and has a zero entry
I love the socialization aspect of the senior center as well as the exercise programs. Most of all I enjoy the pool.
However, I do think some funding needs to go to repairing or updaing equipment in the gym. Also, the ladies room as no hot water. An under counter instant water heater would do the trick.
The social groups
The people are friendly. The classes are awesome instructors Are Great, they offer so much more than any other center that I know of Council Bluffs isLucky to have the YMCA Healthy Living Center
The warm therapy pool is all I use at the facility, so, naturally, that is what I would recommend
Something for everyone.
I like the variety of exercise classes and activities. Great equipment choices for many levels. The heated pool keeps me coming back!
the variety of group classes. The instructors are very knowledgable.
I use the heated pool regularly. Swimming keeps my joints flexible and gives me an aerobic workout. I would not swim as often if the water wasn't warm. I know that from past experience.
that I will put off going swimming because I hate getting into the cold water. I usually reserve a lap lane and that helps me because I work harder when I am in the lane and I will show up because I have made a commitment to being there.
My husband doesn't like to swim but he sometimes goes with me and uses the work out room while I swim. It is good for him and he wouldn't go if I weren't going.
Many excellent programs available at the senior center in Council Bluffs. People are very caring and friendly.
People get to know new people and enjoy common interests together.
I love the YMCA Healthy Living Center! It is just perfect for me. Programs and activities are great!
I enjoy attending the Tai Chi classes! There are several other classes to choose from and many other activities! The staff is absolutely awesome!
Every one is very friendly, I been there two times now.I’m just taking it easy 😹 I would like to get more involved and exercising in the water too
Warm pool water, treadmills available when unable to swim
Friday staff
The instructors are pushing. Us to work harder
, only if want. That is good!
They make the class fun, always trying
to vary things.
do they have swim lessons at this location?
Fitness classes!
Pool and gym!
We loved them unfortunately. There is a conflict on interest with someone else who goes to the same facility. She is my old counselor. And she said that we can't be seen around one another. So it would be helpful if you had more aquatic aerobics during afternoon's. The warm water helps so much. The only other warm pool I'm aware of is a aquatic therapy pool. And well that's for physical therapy. So to respect her I won't be attending anymore aquatic aerobics. But the one class I tried I loved it!!!!
Love the group exercise classes!
There is a friendly atmosphere in the classes I attend.
Love the yoga class and biking. Weight room is great facility and the KIRN pool is the best!!
