Member Testimonials
I like the warm water pool and open times to walk in the pool.
I really like the morning classes at the Healthy Living Center. I participate in the “Cardio strength” and “Better balance”
I especially like how Bob of Better Balance class exercises all our muscles not just a few in his class. I wish his senior cardio class was back in session because it went with his Better Balance class.
There is a good variety
The atmosphere is welcoming and positive.
Love the classes Healthy Living Center in Council Bluffs.
Love the choices in water and out of water, there is something for everyone,
The great people you meet along the exercise pathway. Healthy programs.
It is the people who work there and the wonderful people who I have met through the activity groups I participate in that make this such a fun place to come to.

Warm pool. Relaxes my muscles & joints.
I love the pool and bingo.
Love the Get Up and Go class and Pilates. I wish the room was larger because these classes are really crowded and between Covid, RSV, Influenza, and all the other respiratory diseases the crowded area feels too risky.
Such a friendly environment.
I like the instructors, the times available - getting to meet and know new people - it's very positive
a real asset for our community
also appreciate 20-20-20 on Sundays at the Lakin Y, especially the instructor (Krista) - she is a real asset to the Y
Great classes and instructors for active senior citizens. I attend and enjoy classes but procrastinate and never work out on equipment. They are a very friendly group. I also like warm water pool and Debs classes. Hate water classes with the instructor prancing around outside the pool.
Friendly, hard working staff. Always willing to take time to listen.
