This survey has print that is very very hard to read
I mostly swim now, although I have participated in other classes, such as chair yoga and thi chi. I like the center because it's very convenient for me, the staff is friendly, and I have options to add more classes as my interests and availability allow.
The programs and activities at the Council Bluffs Senior Center complete my need for healthy exercise and social interaction.
Line dancing, water aerobics, Mah Jongg, bus trips.
Glad of so many options.
Group classes are well organized and led by excellent instructors, water classes and floor aerobics. Chair Yoga is a perfect strengthening program.
I attend at least 2 classes a day, except for Saturday because it’s a shorter day. Sunday the YMCA Healthy Living Center is closed but I would probably attend if they were open 😊
I first learned about the facility after I had hip surgery and did water therapy by Hopp Therapy and I got a membership soon afterwards.
The staff is very friendly & professional. The pool has warm water 💦 so it’s easy to enjoy the water classes year round, est. temperature is 90*
Great instructors. Appropriate times of day, & length of classes.
The YMCA and all it has to offer is a place to regain strength.
Cardio, drumming, and the water classes. Would love to have card making classes and beginners.
I really like your warm pool.
Keep me active
I like that its a supportive place for my son to go to.
The front desk staffs are very friendly. The gym is very clean and the rest room is also very clean. There are ample supplies of coffee and ice tea
Love the water classes. The instructors are so nice and helpful. The other members do the same.
I like that there are multiple aerobic classes daily and I really like the instructors.
Nice to chat and exercise with a friendly group. The instructors keep it lively and fun.
The line dancing class is full of friendly seniors and is self-paced. The exercise is good for mind and body. Other activities offered are all beneficial, even though in my very recent time being a member I have not participated in anything else.
Variety, Times, great instructors!
The staff are very friendly, helpful & kind. My fellow workout friends are really fun and great people. Everyone just kinda looks out for each other. We all seem to get along well, I always look forward to my workouts at the Healthy living center.
Good instructors, easy access, clean facilities
I really like all your exercise classes. They have been good medicine for me. Mentally and physically. And I have enjoyed 2 of your day trips. They were so much fun. Can't wait to go on the Oct day trip. thx
I go water walking 3 times a week. The water temp is nice to swim ,it's nice and warm. Nice people who run it, nice people who are there swimming also.
I have been going to the swimming class with Lori. We have a great time. Now I have a one hip put in and another hip to be put in soon. I haven’t been able to swim. I sill go to hang out and talk to friends and have coffee. I have worked out in the gym and it’s ok but, the other YMCA up town has more equipment to use. I haven’t been to any of the other classes there so I really can’t speak for those.
Great. Senior activities and memory strengthening exercises
Everything!
Really like the warm water pool
I only use the workout area and play pickleball now and then. The facilities are good for my needs. Obviously the locker rooms need updating, but Okay for kids.
Enjoy the line dancing classes! Instructors are great!
The camaraderie of the group classes makes it special. I enjoy my teachers, Marie and Peg. After a long absence, I am so happy to be back.
My husband attends every day. It is a highlight for the day for a person who has Parkinsons. VERY caring. Great programs. Nothing really bad that I can think of. I WISH they had a means to get people there with their own bus. Tried finding help through different agencies but not available to us because we are not low income. BUT a lot of shuffling around to get him there. I see other people getting left off but we do not qualify. That would be my only suggestion.
