Member Testimonials
Program was wonderful.
Even though I am not in the best shape I feel comfortable being there
Everything is available, from the get go. The gym is looking new and refurbished when I had restarted my members ship in May.
The family enjoy having the various hours available
The chair aerobics are a favorite
Clean, professional, and friendly environment
The children enjoy being able to go swimming and play basketball
All. I like the fact that there’s a lot to choose from
Organized, good communicator with parents prior to each session, great with the kiddos planning the activities with them to have instruction and play time.
Plenty of staff. Very nice and helpful. They also speak kindly and quite genuinely to children. Clean facility and outside pool. Great place for kiddos and their parental units!
I use the treadmill and workout equipment.
My wife would love the indoor pool, but can't make the very limited times. She used to swim one mile three times a week. You can't get enough guards. Very sad.
We are ages 75 and 77.
They are fun
Accessibility and variety
This year I'm utilizing a personal trainer each week, swimming laps in the lap pool, and doing an AOA stretch class. The scheduling of each of these is possible because I'm using different programs.
I really enjoy the chair one class. Quanay is great. I do wish we had more classes geared for us older people. The young people are great but we need more older instructors who understand better what we are capable of .
Active older adult programs
Love the outdoor pool with my grandkids and lots of other grandmas and kids!! What fun it has been!
I like the cleanliness of the facility. The outdoor pool area is beautiful but my grandson would much prefer a heated pool. I love the friendliness of the staff and many of the members. I no longer use the programs, but I did enjoy Jackie Wallenberg's cross-train class back in the day. I typically use the treadmills and like the fact that there are several of them.
I like the Body Pump classes.
The lifeguards are there on the job very early which allows me to get my workout in before the pool becomes so crowded. I appreciate the job they do and their friendliness.
Before the summer hours and even after there are times when 3 or 4 people are in one lane in the rec pool. I don't mind sharing a lane with one other person but think it is unsafe to allow more than 2 people in one lane at a time. I wish management would consider setting some guidelines taking safety into consideration.

The pool is AMAZING! We just rejoined last Tuesday and have already been 4 times.
They keep me physically active and among friendly people. The employees are helpful and friendly.
Everything
NO…Complaints
Morning water aerobics classes. What I do not like is the lack of communication between the water activities directors and the members. When we lost a Friday morning water aerobics instructor, instead of finding another instructor to take her place, the class was just cancelled even though we had about 20 people regularly attending!!
A cleaning of the inside of the lockers in the women’s locker room is greatly needed!!
The Ft. Ben offers a wide range of activities for all age groups.
