Large variety of exercise
I love the water classes and instructors.
Good variety of times of classes, skill levels of classes, friendly faces, clean facility, I can go on and on!
The shallow water aerobics is great and I feel good after doing them.
I wish you had friend passes only 1x n charging 15 per person is expensive
New equipment is a nice improvement, looks like new flooring will be a good enhancement, the outdoor facility being built looks like a great addition.
Nice job Baxter with the improvements!
Lots of options. Great instructors.
Friendly and informed staff.
everything is great!
We like the family events and also take advantage of the open swim times at the indoor pool.
I like the wide variety of activities, no body shaming culture and friendly staff.
Water classes
All the staff members at the Baxter YMCA have always been very pleasant, friendly and professional!
Enjoy the water fitness classes!
Great coaching and intro to activities for kids. Love the instructors.
We spent good time in ymca and my kid also enjoy his sport basketball
Easy access to the sites, easy sign up
Coaches are good
That everyone gets to play.
I like that there are so many options. I'm a fan of the educated coaches. I don't know if there is already a screening process, but if say there was someone who wanted to be a volunteer basketball coach, I would hope there would be a process that someone (maybe Ethan) would go through the applicants and make sure they 1. know something about basketball and 2. are friendly enough with kids that the child will actually enjoy the sport.
My daughter was placed on a team where she thought the coach that was helping out was going to be her actual coach. Luckily he was just pitching in, but we were scared because the volunteer didn't seem to know much about the sport and didn't have the likability aspect. He was very quiet and reserved. Luckily he wasn't the actual coach and the new one is much better!
Great silver sneaker classes and AOA classes. Great instructors too! I work out 4 days a week n love it!
Thank you!
I like the water aerobics with Sue. She’s fun. The facilities are clean and kept up well
I love Shirley’s Tuesday and Thursdays, water aerobics classes!
I like the close proximity to my house. Staff is very friendly. I enjoy using the E-gym.
One suggestion would be to reach out to the Chin community about swimming classes.
I teach an ESL class at St Mark and several were interested to have their children learn to swim.
The staff is friendly and welcoming. I like the variety of group classes and equipment available in the wellness center. Baxter does a great job staying up to date with the latest in wellness. I also like the option of the virtual classes.
All the programs are wonderful! Convenient location with great facility and staff.
Variety of programs
Love your swim aerobic workouts and the kid’s summer camp!
I like the later class times. I work during the day so I appreciate the classes being offered after 4:30 pm
I love that there is a nice workout room with updated equipment/machines, pool, hot tub, & sauna. I like that I can go to any YMCA location to get my workout in & that there are a variety of ways to get that workout in such as 360 for the days I can't make it bc I am divorced w/a kid who is very active in sports w/a dad who lives in Avon, IN while we live 30 min SE of Indpls. so it can be very challenging to get it all in before 9pm some days.
I am also looking forward to the new outdoor field at the Baxter Y.
Something I was not happy with though:
My son & his girlfriend wanted to check out the Y w/me on Sunday, but they work nights so they don't get up until around 4:30pm/5pm so by time they got there & got through taking a copy of their license & signing a waiver that didn't come through her phone right away they didn't even get to check out the pool bc it was already closed. I was unimpressed with staffs evaluation with that being worthwhile. At this point they wasted a free visit to NOT even get a chance to try out the pool which he was most interested in. I was unaware that they closed at 6pm on Sunday.
