Social interaction.
I enjoy the pool and the fitness room and appreciate the staff and all they do to provide programs that Seniors enjoy. If you need help with something they are there for you.
I take yoga classes. The yogi who leads the class is personable and knowledgeable. Same with the Lakin yogi, whom I’d also recommend.

Variety of programs. Love the pool!
I swim laps at the pool while my husband walks on the treadmill. I really like the warm water pool and I like being able to reserve a lane for swimming laps. When I reserve a lane, it becomes an appointment that we need to show up for. So it isn't as easy for us to skip exercising for that day because we have committed to doing it. It is a small thing but it helps us keep to our work-out routine.
The classes fit perfectly
Warm pool
I like that the classes are geared to seniors.
Variety and times offered.
The activities are geared to older adults. I like that there are both water classes and land classes.
The pool for my arthritis and some equipment in the gym is also helpful in keeping me moving. Also there are more peers than at other gyms.
Enjoy the warm pool at the CB Healthy Living Center. Want to keep the reserved lanes for all swimmers/walkers.
Since I have been coming to HLC i have met many people that i have the same interests with.
I enjoy helping with the community crafters and the service that these wonderful people provide for charities around the city. Beside the social interaction, the classes provided are very good and the everyone is very welcoming. During this pandemic it is important to stay active. I highly recommend joining this special place.
I'm my husband's caregiver and don't have time to take any classes. I wish I could. I use the pool when I have time. I wish the Center stayed open untill 7:00 so the pool could stay open untill 6'30. I love the Healthy Living Center. That is the best Center in all of Omaha and Council Bluffs IA.
I like the better balance classes. The teacher (Bob) is excellent.
Being with people my own age group. And, improving our lives in various ways.
There is a wide variety of classes, and everyone makes you feel comfortable (everyone has a different level of ability)
There are so many choices.The staff are helpful and share ideas for the use of equipment and programs .I love
the pool.Do care facilities know about the
activities at the Center? We are so blessed to have the Center in CB
A friendly place to exercise. I really enjoy the pool.
I will tell my friends to get YMCA gym membership after they get fully vaccinated. The gym is clean and the social distance is good.
I was absent for a long time because of the covid 19 but I am back. I like the pool very much
and the books as I am a avid reader. I have met many new friends there as people are very friendly.
Love all the teachers!!!
Being able to do water exercise,miss the evening water areobics class, was hopeful there would be an instructor again, when we were able to begin using the pool
I like the swimming especially how the pool is heated . It loosens me up and helps with the injuries I have.
I am able to work out close to home within walking distance!!!!!
Before COVID the weekly dances at the YMCA Healthy Living Center was something that I looked forward to and many of my friends also. I always talk with the people I know about these dances and they all are looking to come back to dance. I tell people about the advantage of belonging to the YMCA and the cost difference to each dance as well as the health programs provide.
I love the pool, the awesome classes and the up-to-date equipment.
I actually do like reservations for a pool lap lane but would much prefer that it be adhered to - the last time I swam there was a 3rd person moving between the 2 reserved lanes which had swimmers. I will appreciate a longer time in the pool which seems to be coming soon
Great variety of classes and activities.
Also, Great instructors!!!
