I was in that area and had to wait for my dog to get groomed so I went in and worked out.
It is
Love the group classes, the facility is great, staff and instructors top-drawer! Recommended it to a friend and how he is a member!
Because my husband can not get financial aide!
The few times that I have been there, lately the people sitting at the front do not acknowledge you when you walk in or when you leave. The Y on 160 and Q is joyful when you come in and they say have a great day when you leave so it’s very strange to be completely ignored. They even have their back to you when you walk in as a business owner I would want to know that.
Great group classes. Gym is big and not crowded
The monthly charge is reasonable and I love the classes at YMCA Express on L street
People are very friendly and helpful. Facility is clean and well kept.
Clean facilities and helpful friendly help.
Kind of old and dirty
The Sarpy YMCA offers many exercise options. Training staff very helpful with learning in classes and on machines etc.
Clean, friendly staff, but overcrowded
The facilities need an upgrade, especially the pool, deck and locker rooms. They haven’t changed for the past 25 years.
The Sarpy YMCA is one of the best YMCA in Omaha area super friendly staff good class instructors. Thank you.
I really enjoyed swimming classes in the morning. Not only having fun, it helps my knee improve. All the instructors are very good, especially, Tammy and Maria.
Thank you so very much. Keep up the good work. 👏
I just joined, check with me later.
It is unorganized and I feel like there was little to no preparation.
You flagged me as a sex offender in Playerspace. I had to come in to say I’m not. Even then, I am still not back on playerspace. I can’t access my son’s schedule.
The communication the past 2 weeks regarding games and practices has been lacking. Due to severe rainfall, no one knew what was happening. The director if the Y promised our coach an update by end of day regarding if we could hold practice or not. Instead if an update, they left for the day leaving our coach to find out herself if the field was good.
I really appreciate that the ymca offers youth sports at a good price and keeps a good perspective on youth sports. It is important that kids have this vs clubs or select sports.
I help assisted in coaching. We did Rally scoring for every game. Until the very last game when a parent was doing the score board and they were NOT doing rally scoring. Rally scoring is regardless of 3 serves the other team gets a point when it’s their turn to serve and this was not happening. When this was brought to the refs attention and the person at the score bored we were told we were in the wrong. Don’t send a handbook out that says RALLY SCORING and the other coach, referre and a parent don’t know what that is. You charge $90 for a 1st grader to play volleyball and you guys can’t find someone that knows the rules to keep score other than a parent of the other team that doesn’t know Rally scoring! We played many games prior that were being scored correctly. Funny how a parent keeps score and the rules all the sudden changed. Your referees and ANYONE doing the score board should know the RULES!
Great coaches! All though parking is very hard to find especially when there are many different sports all playing at the same time.
We have had a great experience with the Y up until this season. Our Volleyball coach Nena has been everything but encouraging to our girls. She was even rude to me our second game and all I was doing was asking her a question. This is supposed to be a rec sport to teach girls how to play. She has excluded one of my daughters almost completely from game play and has yelled at them if they miss a serve. That is ridiculous for girls learning the sport. They should be having fun and not coming off the court crying. I have coached youth sports for over 8 years and this is not how it should go. The only reason I didn’t volunteer to coach this season is because I’ve had a few surgeries that has prevented me from doing so. Unfortunately my girls never want to come back to the Y to play and that breaks my heart.
I love how supportive and low key sports are for 2nd graders at the Y. Challenging but not ridiculously competitive. The oath before games is also wonderful.
The only part that is hard, is not knowing the practice schedule until a week or two before. It would be beneficial if you could have coaches commit beforehand and you have girls sign up for a specific day/time like swim. Could you send out a pre email asking for coaches first?
Inconsistent rule application and the facility floor is unsafe in certain spots. Theres not enough seats for fans causing them in unsafe locations for the athletes. Referees could use training also in applying the rules.
Give a discount to volunteer coaches for their own child’s registration. Even a small discount would make a big difference. Plenty of other organizations do this.
Price and dedication of volunteer coaches
The communication was not what I would have expected from this program at all. Very last minute communication from the start and no parent meeting or anything to understand who the coach was and what to expect during the season.
I love that YMCA Youth sports gives my child an opportunity to experince different sports and a chance to work with and learn with new kids. Only suggestion is to standardize skills learning between teams. It seems like the experience is really dependent on the coach. This is especially important when kids are just learning a sport and how the game is played.
The unorganized staff, the cost and return on the service provided is not good. In back to back weeks, they tried to put 3-4 grade kids on the wrong size field and we had to provide nets to play. Not enough Referees per game so one person is trying to make calls across the field.
Part of the reason we chose Sarpy YMCA is because of the proximity to our residence. But we ended up playing all the games at a park 30 minutes away. Also the cost to sign up seems a bit high. The coaches are volunteers and there is not really any gear for flag football. Not enough in my opinion to justify the cost. I do appreciate the coaches and staff and I’m thankful we had the opportunity. I am just not sure I would recommend it.
Just needs more organization. We pay AND play for the Y and hardly play AT the Y. Need better spaces for practices.
I love the friendliness of all staff, especially their greeting & willingness to help & answer questions.
employees always friendly and welcoming. I like the equipment that the Y has. I'm glad the sarpy Y is taking steps to curb families from parking at the Y when they are attending sporting events on the fields close to the Y.
Childwatch is a huge plus, facilities are clean and programs for group exercise are great.
Only thing is for members that recently signed up, and missed a sign up deal cpuld go back and get the deal as it seems unfair that no deal can be taken even if signed up a few days earlier than published deal
I like how close the YMCA is to where I live. The gym is a really good size for the community. My family really enjoy's the pool.
Susan is great. Somehow I got a splinter in my finger before I arrived. Susan went above and beyond to remove it so I could swim. That was how we met. Been friends ever since. Tommy the trainer is great. One day some girl asked him to marry her. He demurred, and I told him to hang in there. "One day love finds everyone," I told him. Your lifeguard staff could use a little work since George went back to New York, bu
It would be nice to have fans in the weightlifting/cardio area. The towels being offered are really nice. Some barbells are pretty browned from age. We are quite happy here
Everyone, from the staff to the members, are friendly and encouraging. The facility is kept clean and there are plenty of exercise classes to choose from.
Everyone has been friendly, helpful and the instructors appear to be attuned to individual needs and skill levels.
Zoe from my kids' Swim 3 class is incredibly patient and stable with her class. Even when my son was excited in the first class, she handled everything well and is a good leader for her class. I've seen improvement in both my kids' swimming ability and confidence, even if they need to practice more for their physical stamina. Thanks for providing a safe and structured place to learn.
Well, for starters, I was put onto your mailing list mistakenly. I'm not a member of the Sarpy YMCA, and in fact don't know where Sarpy is or even live in the United States. And secondly, whenever I've tried to unsubscribe to the Sarpy YMCA mailing list, it hasn't worked. I'm still receiving their emails, including the one asking me to participate in this survey. So if anyone from Sarpy asked me if they should join the YMCA, I'd say no, because you'll never get off their mailing list no matter how many times you try.
Your lap pool has ample availabile hours. I come from Couoncil Bluffs because of your lap pool hours. Thank you!!
Positive experiences each time with our kids
Clean facility, lockers outside of the wellness center are a huge plus, and the child watch is extremely helpful to have access to (and everyone there is very nice!)
The staff and members are the best! I was in Nebraska for almost six months this year. I was at the Y for three months. I was nervous at first but I was welcomed and the rest is history. I’ve already been back once and I spent three days in classes. I love the Y and I love my Sarpy YMCA family. I tell everyone here in Ohio that the Y saved my life. See you all in the spring.
Some of the instructors are well engaged and I appreciate them. I have seen one or two (subs) that are not engaged and let the kids play more than practice. I think the value is good and the pool environment meets the needs.
We love our teacher this time! I wish there was consistency with teachers. It's so hit and miss.
I enjoy the small gym I go to.
The showers are a joke! There is never any soap & half of them never have hot water.
Small groups and individualized instruction. Fantastic instructors!
