They have activities for everyone
The northwest YMCA is s beautiful facility that offers many wonderful water and fitness classes. The instructors are top notch snd all those working at the Y are very pleasant and helpful. I have met many members of the Y which have grown into true friendships outside of the Y.

No wait to use equipment.
Very helpful staff
The facilities are wonderful. It is a friendly and welcoming place!
I am new to yoga and adore Jamie’s class. She teaches at a level where everyone can participate and makes everyone feel special. The one hour session improves my physical as well as mental wellbeing. It is no wonder why her classes are full.
It has something for everyone!! Very clean and well maintained!!
Clean and fun place to get your exercise in. Large area, low key and comfortable setting. Staff is very engaging and helpful. E-gym is the best.
Clean gym equipment. Very friendly and helpful staff.
I love the water fitness classes and all of the staff, Everyone is helpful and kind. There are many varied water fitness classes which is a good thing because sometimes it is hard to get into a class but at least there are other choices.
We're very happy to have our kids included in the Y's after-school tween program. The staff are all wonderful, and our kids feel included in the activities and enjoy going each day. thank you!

Love the quality programming and the fun, family atmosphere. Best Y around!
Convenience. For adults it’s very good options. Everyone in the family can go.
Wish you had more than one pickle ball court as it’s always in use every time I go. I wish you turned the back basketball court into permanent pickle ball courts. There are always open basketball courts when I go.
Wish there was activities other than the pool for age 3-7 year old child. The turf is great- but it is always full every time I go with big kids and adults (not saying it should be kids only). Even the family time on Tuesdays almost always has soccer with big kids and adults playing the entire field/space. My kids want to run around and play sports- not stay in child watch. Wish there were 2 turf spaces or smaller turf for little kids to just run around on as they are excluded from the track.
I am happy woth the facilities
Exercise classes, I like the instructors as I feel like they encourage good form and they give options for various levels of ability. The elliptical, bike, and the track.
The staff was very nice and inclusive of all the kids. They were extremely responsive one day when my child was late getting to the program. All ended up being fine, but they contacted me right away, which I appreciated. My child was always having a good time when I came to pick him up from the program.
I love the egym and the aqua classes. The staff are also very friendly and professional and are happy to assist you with anything you might need. There is so much to do at Hal Welch Area YMCA, and they are always adding extra things you can do if you would like. You will never get bored there for sure.
The people and the atmosphere. Monica is the best trainer!
This location is a great facility with a wide variety of offerings.

They have great equipment that I can work out on in a female friendly environment. Swimming pool is great too. It is not crowded at the times that I go.
