The swimming pool
Great workout room
So far have only used pool. I hope to try other activities in future. Have heard good things about them.
I love the water aerobics classes. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I can't say enough good things about the YMCA programs
Friendly people!
You have a variety of choices. The place is clean. The people friendly.
I’d like to center because I think you guys are kind to everybody and it gives people that don’t have a lot going on in their lives to come and be social with people
Variety, good teachers.
I've only participated in two exercise classes but the instructors have been excellent. 9:00 am is a good time for me.
The fact I can go to the exercise equipment whenever I want.
I really enjoy swimming laps in the pool. My doctor recommends swimming as the best aerobic exercise for me considering my arthritis. Being able to reserve a lane, makes that possible. Everyone is always friendly and the facility is clean.
Variety and warm pool.
Friendly staff accessibility. It could be a little cleaner lockers need vacuum out and floor needs to be cleaner
I enjoyed having a Senior center which caters to the over 50 age group.
Activities
I love the heated pool
This is the most welcoming YMCA I have ever visited.
There is a pretty wide variety of activities and classes that are offered. I really enjoy the yoga and pilates classes. I wish more options were offered for classes, some run at the same time as others.
Everyone is very nice and helpful.
They are geared to just anyone that wants to participate. There is some kind of class or activity that will be helpful to any age or physical ability. The Healthy Living Center is the greatest place in Council Bluffs.
I love line dancing with Lois, and the community crafters has been a great friend making time while helping others.
