Member Testimonials
We have really enjoyed our private swim lesson sessions which we did all summer long! Each session was great and the coaches have all been fun and helped our kids so much! I would reccommend highly to everyone. However, scheduling and getting set up for each session was a huge headache. We were continuously reaching out to the swim directors and hearing nothing back for weeks, no emails or calls answered. It was incredibly frustrating as we were just trying to continue our swim lessons and add more sessions, but the scheduling aspect was very difficult, disorganized, and poor communication. Even if the swim director would have just responded that the email or call was received and they were working on it, it would have been much appreciated, rather than going days at a time without hearing anything. Scheduling make ups was also very trying and often times we just gave up as no one would communicate. Other than that we loved the program and would reccomend highly.
Personal relationships between teachers and my child; tailored therapies and accommodations; staff are truly experts
The various workout equipment, clean facility, and great staff.
The facilities are very well taken care of, there's an incredible variety of group fitness classes and everyone who works there is fantastic!
Well organized. My son really enjoys it.
I appreciate the variety and frequency of group fitness classes.
I am enjoying the classes I have taken so far.
Wide variety of equipment, great classes and instructors! Ease of scheduling
There are a few ceiling fans but I really wish there could be more air circulation especially in the cardio area on the periphery of the gym.
I love everything about my Moody Family YMCA membership. Not only is the facility clean and well managed with a great variety of classes, it also has a true community feel that is the Y's secret sauce. The fact that members become friends and build connections outside of the Y's walls is testament to the staff and leadership who put in place the environment that cultivates such special relationships. We are so grateful to have found a place to keep our bodies and minds strong and healthy!
Absolutely everything. I have both a typical and a child with special needs there, they both have benefited so much.
I like the instructor and the facility. The only thing makes me give 9 starts is that I wish the water heating system in the pool were working. I had to stop the lesson a couple of times because my son couldn’t help himself from shivering so much in cold water.
Maude is great! We love the whole staff. Our daughter has Ms. Candice and we couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to send her here. The teachers are all very kind and loving. We are grateful for the Rise School and the growth we’ve already seen in our daughter's development. We would highly recommend the Rise School to anyone and everyone.
Great machines and very clean and friendly staffs
I only use the lap pool. The pool is awesome.
water aerobics teacher -- Emily -- is grat
I like the circuit weights and the pool. I like the hours that are available to workout and the location.
Many things! 1) The nice team at the front desk - Millie, Richard, Matthew, and more - their friendliness and familiarity are valuable parts of the positive energy that encourages me and lifts my spirit as I enter the gym. 2) The filtered water bottle filler and water fountains stations. 3) The cute smiling kid on the poster that I see on my way out, reminding me of the good that the Y does. 4) The natural light across the south wall of the downstairs main floor and that on the south and west sides of the upstairs gym floor is a huge factor in my ability to enjoy the space. Artificial light is not good for us. 5) The class teachers, especially Kristy Hill (Strength), Elizabeth N (barre), Sally (dance), and Jeri and Julie (yoga). 6) The addition of classes on Sunday and extension of weekend hours. 7) The native plants in the landscaping :-)

I always visit the Y first thing in the morning and I see the same faces…I like that!
Brenda is a great promoter of our membership and takes great care with the senior population!
Coaches are excellent. Much better than club team (Mustangs). Our kid swims at both and he gets much more out of his Y (coach Ross) than any Mustangs coach.
We are always super happy to highly recommend the Y swim program and especially coaches Ross and Charles.
Even though our kids are also involved in other sports they are always making sure they keep their schedules open several times per week to continue to do swimming at the Y.
I wish the pool would be maintained better as too often the temperature of the water is too high or chemical levels aren't right. Also, given that the building is relatively new and I can't imagine city would give it permission to operate with bool not being appropriately grounded, I am very surprised that every time it rains and thunders everything is cancelled. I suspect Y is choosing to just not carry the right insurance to save a little $ on the premium but it affects any member that is trying to use the pool if the weather is not perfectly clear outside.
