Member Testimonials
The facility is clean and able to accommodate many different groups of people, young and no-so-young. For example Camp Odyssey has drawn a great number of school age children to the YMCA this Summer but regular programming continues. The staff are attentive and welcoming
My daughter has special needs and she loves the lazy River and walking on the track. It is so wonderful to have someplace to be able to take her, especially in the Winter months.
So many different activities and classes
Great variety of fitness classes. Excellent instructors. Addition of the eGym in 2025 has been great.
YMCA Northwest is a magnificent facility with so many options for any age. Newest equipment for individual use. Open daily for early birds and after a days work. Superb staff to answer anyone’s questions. E-Gym equipment is personalized for each member. We are all different. Pursing goals to be healthy at any age. All types of classes. The menu of options can be your reward when you participate. A great idea is on a visit walk all over the building to see what is available for yourself, family or friends who are eager to get off the couch. I consider it a Happy Place or Happy Space. You decide it’s your body. Game on!
the wide range of programs and exercise options
It is a nice place to workout, meet people, and relax. The kids enjoy the childcare center.
There is a big variety of classes and activities for all ages and abilities
I like the facility itself. Cheerful, Clean and welcoming.
I like the class Forever fit at 1045 on Thursday.For consistency, I wish the class was held twice a week at the same time. It would go along way toward my mental and physical well being.
Choosing other classes at various times there doesnt work for me. I need a consistent schedule
Friendly welcome. Helpful staff ! Clean clean facility! Lovely place to be!
I like the accessibility of water exercise programs in the morning, and the ability to use the therapy pool in the afternoons when I can't make a morning class. The book club for older adults is fabulous! The art activitites are also wonderful. I've made some good friendships through all of these programs.
The Northwest YMCA has so much to offer! First, it is very spacious so one never feels like you are being crowded. Next, the programs offered are very good. All levels of activity are available . Three pools in one area is fabulous! Programs offered with various levels of exercise , and fun. The pools are significantly different which affords variety in the classes. The grand exercise room has many different exercise equipment so easy to find one that “works” for you. The rooms used for specific classes are comfortable and large, so many can participate.
It really is a GREAT Y. Those of us in the area are very fortunate to have such a service within a reasonable distance
Overall good, however please invest in your site as the building and stuff is starting to show it's age. Please build a better app that communicates all of the schedules well. For example when is the field available? Also the app should notify for any changes.
They’re friendly. Lots of choices in activities.
Great facility

Wish the north area Y had as nice amenities as the northwest.
The Northwest Y is a beautiful facility. The members, instructors and staff are all amazing. It is a joy to go the Y every day. There are endless programs and classes to attend: the gym, e-gym, pool, yoga, workout classes, book club and even knitting! Joining the Y was the absolute best decision I made upon retiring.
The classes, the facility in general, there is something to do for everyone! You name it and it's here! The art studio, the track, the equipment, the courts, the kids activities, the lessons, the pools, the lazy river! I just love it here!!!
