Member Testimonials
The senior classes are very useful, you meet friendly people from all walks of life.
I like the balance class, the enhanced fitness.
I wish you could add some easy dance routine classes geared for seniors.
Only visited facilities
Quality instructors, clean facilities and indoor pool. I've already recommended the swim program to a family member (who plans to join).
I like the variety of classes and great instructors.
Instructors
I have used the pool for exercise 3 times a week since 1997. It is the best way for me to exercise, especially since I now have two artificial knees. I have met many great friends and the staff is beyond friendly and helpful
swimming pool
Reasonably priced and twice a week option.
Very friendly staff & nice variety of offerings.
I attend several classes, usually the ones led by Jack in addition to aqua fitness, the weight machines and swimming laps.
Love the people. Both those that work there and the members. Friendly and wonderful. The physical environment is clean and well kept. I especially love Jack's classes. He is challenging and knows so much about the make up of the muscular body structure.
Thank you for extending your weekend hours. Any chance you could open at 5:30, like you did before the pandemic?
There is now no wall space to stretch lying down (with legs on the wall) after change in configuration in weight room.
The massive stretch piece in the relaxation room takes up so much space, and is rarely (if ever) used. Maybe move that out to make more room for ground stretching.
Also, sometimes folks are working out in that tiny room, not leaving space for those who want to just stretch.
coach are really nice!!
Convenience & diverse offerings of program both for adults and kids. overall satisfied with the facilities. Highly recommended.
Yoga. Zumba. Swimming pool
I love all the activities Southwest YMCA offers. I enjoyed all of there exercise classes starting from Aqua aerobics in the pool it’s for everybody. Love Body combat, core, High fitness, Pop Pilates, Body balance, yoga and too many to recall. My kids go to swim team. So all of my family members go to this branch.
The YMCA is not only a gym. It’s for the whole community.
People are friendly.
Fun classes, friendly staff
Instructors
Senior Fitness classes
I love the new class that Southwest offers: Lift and HIIT taught by Rachel. It's very unique. It's not like a cycle sculpt class where you stay on the bike and lift small hand weights, you get off the bike and lift much heavier weights with less reps. It's innovative.
Convenient and consistent lessons - kids actually learn how to swim
E-gym. Friendly staff. --Tanya and Tavio
Clean
Can select a time when Y is not that crowded.
Convenient location --- 5 minutes away from my house.
My son loves the swimming lessons because the instructor always they are nice, lesson start on time and the place always are organized.
Reasonable hours, wide assortment of exercise mach1nes to use.
I like the variety , and number of classes available. And, the instructors are really good.However some of the classes are so popular they have become crowded. Perhaps these classes need tickets that limit class size. Also offering the crowded classes more often in the week or in the same day, or both. Thank you for making Southwest YMCA, a great place to exercise and stay healthy. Love the staff too, they are welcoming, helpful and friendly.
I swim on Sunday mornings, and then follow with Pop Pilates. Very good combination. Autumn is especially fun to exercise with. Her enthusiasm is infectious.
Your facility and people are the very best! Thank you for being there and for always being so helpful to me. I am a senior and love the swim exercise class. I have mobility issues and I cannot thank your employees enough for their friendliness carrying and consideration in helping me. I am learning about other classes that will help me and soon will be visiting more frequently. Thank you for having such a wonderful facility and employees!
We love the staff and instructors.

Friendly staff, good programming, great facilities! The kids love the new shower heads on the pool deck!
