Member Testimonials
Staff is super friendly and helpful. Debbie and Laurie are both great and different in their water exercise classes throughout the week.
there is a lot to choose from. something for everyone
The friendly helpful people. The clean appearance.
Swimming
PLEASE replace the women’s locks in the CB women’s locker rooms. 90% of them don’t work and the few that do are the small lockers on the bottom which are really difficult for older women to reach and they don’t hold enough. The men’s have been replaced but not the women’s. There is also an issue with teenagers locking out the few locks that are functioning.
Would like to see more 8:00 classes like yoga, Pilates, etc. 9:00 is too late for people who work.
Also the YMCA center for healthy living in CB desperately needs new towels. They don’t have enough and the ones they that they have are ragged and dirty.

The variety, open to 'drop-in' attendance, friendly staff. I especially like the Balance & Exercise programs on Tue & Thur. They have really helped me! I would like to try Chair Yoga soon. We are new in Council Bluffs, & this is the best Senior activity place I have ever attended, bar none in Portland, Oregon & Denver, Colorado.

Love aquatics exercise program. My wish is that you get eGym in the future. I currently go to Buena Vista for that. Both places are excellent and well run. Thank you for all you have to offer
The variety of activities, friendly people and especially water volleyball.
The variety of activities/programs is amazing. My wife and I joined the HLC about a year and a half ago, but have been regular attendees for one year. The people are very friendly and our main community there is the pickleball family. They are so friendly and willing to teach and support people learning to play pickleball. I really do like the "warm" swimming pool and equipment room.
I water walk for exercise, I enjoy it because the water is really warm. Helps my joints.
