Member Testimonials
Now, that my kids are young adults, the only actives that I do at Ft Ben is a deep water H2O class and a shallow water class.
I enjoy staying active without the stress of pounding on my joints. Additionally, in water fitness classes, I can gain muscle strength as well. My abs and arms and stability are developed while doing cardio.
Friendly staff and activity options
I am a Y traveler, and I would rate this branch very high on my list. There seems to be a great sense of community here, and I love that. I feel like most of the staff is friendly as well, and that's a plus.
Clean facility
I simply adore the Water Aerobics Program.
Everything
I like the fact that you serve the entire community: kids, Seniors, teens, veterans, disabled people, women and men. The pool system is the best.
The aqua aerobics and the machines in the gym. I would like it better if the temperature of the water was consistent and warmer. The new machines have been difficult to get to understand as the amount of strength needed has been different from the old machines.
friendly environment
The Fort Ben Y is Awesome. Phenomenal Staff that extends a very engaging and supportive atmosphere!!!
The pool is always kept at a consistent temperature! The lifeguards do a great job!
The play area in the indoor pool is so nice. The grandkids loved it.
Really only use the workout gym. Other than having to wait for certain machines (and that is due to some folks' phone usage while just sitting on the machines--so that's no fault of YMCA), I'm very satisfied with my gym experiences and the offerings.
I love water aerobics! I've been going to Ft Ben Y for over 20 years and go to water aerobics classes 2-3 times a week. The instructors are very good.
I love the fact that the gym is family friendly and promotes the word of God as we can see posters with Bible verses around the gym. I enjoy the Y offers sports for our children and fees discounts to members. I have my son participate in several sports clinics. I love spending summers at the pool at the Y and also using the indoor pool during winter. I could not imagine not having my Y membership for my son and I. We have been members for the past 7 years. I had my son attend pre school there as well. Best place ever to have our children at, since they are taken to the gym to run around and the classrooms are very spacious for them. I recommend the Y to everyone I know!
Instructor and virtual options. I only use the virtual Les Mills and it’s transforming my body.
