Cardio
Swimming pool, kid care, classes, staff very nice, convenient cuz close to my house
Friendly staff, good classes.
I have to say that it’s their Hospitality.
I’m a new member and everyone is so welcoming.
I liked the building. It was brighter than the one in Northwest. I also could sense a different vibe and environment just the first time I walked in. Aileen the Zumba instructor is welcoming and really shows she cares about the people and community. I want to come back for that reason
We enjoy the swimming team, but wish it's more competitive and more focused. The staff are great though.
I also enjoy Pilates with Anh and hope she'd consider teaching on Fridays as well. The class is different every time and keeps me on my toes. Always a great work out.
Overall, we love that YMCA offers so many activities/programs and opens its doors to everyone.
I love the variety of classes offered, particularly the dance and yoga classes, the circuit for weight lifting, and most importantly the wonderful, encouraging, and friendly staff and members.
Classes
Convenient location. Friendly instructors.
The hours and equipment
Quality teachers (yoga); clean facilities; welcoming staff; great location (easy for me to get to).
Circuit training equipment is very good and motivates me to keep pushing.
The staff are excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
Like it. But it is better there are adult swim class
I am enjoying Pop Pilates 2x a week. Thank you for adding the second class. The front desk staff are very friendly and inviting. The swim director, Jeremy, is responsive. When shared concerns or given feedback he acts on them and works hard on a creating a fun and safe environment for kids in the pool. I appreciate his efforts! I love Shelley! She is sunshine at the Y. She is a good listening and gives honest input when appropriate. She checks in on members and their well being.
I like that going in the heavy weight room early
There are fewer people
And more chance of me being able to use the self spotting SMITH MACHINE.. SINCE I HAVE A ARTIFICIAL DISC IN MY L5S1 VERTABRE WITH 4 STABILISATION SCREWS IN MY FACET JOINTS.. NOT TO MENTION 2 BLOWN OUT ROTATOR CUPS.. THE SMITH HELPS ME KEEP THE WEIGHT TRAVELING IN PERFECT SPINAL ALIGNMENT OR BENCHPRESS WITHOUT THE FEAR OF WEIGHT LEANING FORWARD OR BACKWARD AND ACTIVATEING SHOULDERS... PLUS I REALLY LOVE THE SELF LOCKING DIGITAL LOCKERS PROVIDED...WHAT CONVIENANCE
ME
I like the pool availability hours and yoga classes.
The classes are wide ranging, interesting and up-to-date. The instructors are friendly and encouraging.
Thank you for expanding the 45 min Body Pump classes to a full hour.
Is there an active social media account which notifies members of things like, a power outage or pool shutdown or cancelled class? If not, could you start one?
There are lots of programs and activities for individual and family, especially for seniors.
Just recently, the cardio rooms got new workout machines with apps that help to keep fitness records.
There are a lot of them, and they cover the gamut.
I like the water aerobics classes.
Everything very good; swimming pool needs little warmer in the early morning
Many Group exercises available
Great instructors
So happy to be back at the Southwest Y!!!
Love the new cardio equipment -- maybe a water rower in the next cardio upgrade? They are a game changer.
I would love if the Y could go back to opening at 5:30am during the weekday, as it did before the pandemic. For many of us, 6:00 is too late to get in a workout and get to work on time.
Also, having the Y open longer hours on the weekends -- until 4:00pm -- would be helpful for many of us who have weekend morning obligations.
I'm finding that some members aren't tending to the new (and old) rules and regs. More than a few aren't wiping the equipment after use. Weights on the leg press are often not removed, which is a major issue when they're too heavy to move.
friendly staff and a wide range of classes, times and gym availability between the morning and evening classes
Clean and well maintained swimming pool. Facility is generally not crowded
Pool
The friendships made over time .
The instructors.
The all inclusive atmosphere.
I love Zumba and Glitz dance very much.
