The facility
I mostly use the exercise equipment and take group classes these days. The instructors get us moving and the equipment is well maintained. In the past, my family loved spending time in the pools and in the large gym where kids could run around, toss a ball and get exercise especially in the winter months.
It's close. Offers wide variety of experiences for nearly any age. My only complaint would be about your Tuesday night basketball league. It recently started back up with 9 persons on a team. That means for aged seniors attempting to remain active, I might see 6 or 8 minutes a game. There should NEVER be teams with more than 7 maximum. With 6 teams in the league, that's 54 persons. With 2 additional persons, that's 8 teams in the B league which was doable since the A league had only 4 teams and their court was available for 2 B league games at 8 PM. Other than that, love the B'ville (I mean NW) Y!
Friendly atmosphere, and well maintained facility! However, with a new E exercise area a Y employee is required to be in that area to aid the participants. No additional personnel has been added to maintain the equipment and clean the exercise area. additionally, they have reduced the amount of elliptical machines that were previously located toward the weight area. Those types of elliptical machines are in demand. There are too many non-used treadmills.
It’s clean!! Equipment is in good working order. Staff is very helpful.

Friendly & supportive staff
Diversity of the members (all ages, abilities, & backgrounds)
I live in Bville without family and the Y is a lifesaver for me between aftercare, summer camp and days off of school. The counselors are all very nice and the kids look forward to coming. I also appreciate the affordable swim lessons. I am able to bring my kids at the same time and watch the two pools. I also enjoy the Halloween parties! Thank you for everything you do for the community!!!
The e gym ! It's actually fun to do ! I feel myself getting stronger and I love the fact that there's something for everyone, from my 86 year old dad to my 4 year old granddaughter. I love the feeling of community and the cleanliness of the facility.
Very enjoyable and family friendly your employees are very kind and helpful…most of she members that belong to the Y are also friendly…. The only thing that I would love to see is place to receive a massage other then that everything is great and best of all it very well kept and very clean

exercise classes
The Northwest YMCA is a welcoming place for all. That means so much right now.
The classes - Flex and Balance, and Gentle Yoga - and the track. Everyone is friendly and welcoming.
Clean. Friendly. The walk area upstairs. Pool.
Ease of access. Very convenient. Love the Egym.
I enjoy the Northwest Family YMCA experience. I walk and run on the track. The only difficultly I experience is members not following the clearly posted track rules. Parents still allow under 12 children free access to the track and do not have the children at their side. They let the children run free which is a safety issue for all.
The track rules need to be upgraded to state "Please look both ways prior to entering the track" "Please do not stop and talk of the track unless it is an emergency". "Please look over your shoulder before moving or drifting from lane to lane". These are all safety issues!
I hope this is helpful.
Plus
It's convenient to where I live.
The staff is friendly.
The team keeps up with new trends (E-Gym)
Minus
It is too crowded at many times of day
E-Gym is far too small for the demand
The track gets dirty and remains so for a few days sometimes.
More coat hooks in the winter months
** I don't use the pool so no Plus or Minus from me
