it's been a challenge with classes right now. When they are not cancelled, they are often super crowded and I wish the instructors would advocate for people to move or share equipment. Not everyone is conscious of spacing and having a 3rd party promote creating space for others would be helpful. I actually heard a participant say... I don't care about others and just want to save my space....
Very crowded -- I realize this is because people like it; it would just give me pause before recommending it to even more people. Also, childcare workers vary in level of care and skill. Childcare for my needy toddler is my biggest drawback.
I am a long time adherent to the aquatics program. I have filled out many surveys. The classes are well run, and the instructors know what they’re doing.
I just love my swim class! We are a good group of friends and enjoy each other's company. And our teacher is a hoot as well! Friends & fitness!
Made great friends. We are all very close
All of the programs are great! I play adult soccer - since the league began at Spears - and coach a soccer 3-4 team. Quality and fun permeate all of the soccer programs.
Everyone is so nice
I take the class energizes with Heather and she does a fantastic job
The hours
The teachers are kind and supportive.
Not very responsive and youth programs mediocre
My personal trainer is Liam Graham has he has helped me in getting stronger while being flexible with schedules. He makes it easy for me to be bossed around!!!
Feel 100% better & Terry is a great instructor.
I love deep water aerobics Tuesday and Thursday am, but WE NEED AN INSTRUCTOR! PLEASE DON’T CANCEL!
I would like to see more targeted homework assistance and more time at the actual Y in activities, perhaps a second day at the pool?
Locker rooms arent typically clean; children screaming in kids pools make it a little distracting.
Good water classes
I love the energizers swim class- instructor Heather is energetic and fun and the class members are friendly and enjoyable to be around! I have been a member since 2021 and just love going !
I love the pool and water exercise classes
The employees aren't very knowledgeable and/or helpful
My trainer Ty is so knowledgeable and she keeps my training sessions positive and different each time. A 30 minute session is perfect for me. I can see new definition in my muscles after just a few sessions.
Great! I'm getting stronger everyday.
having early am water classes is why I come there.
Everything
The staff was nice and helpful
Nice facility
Very friendly staff
Fun place to water exercise and mingle with friends
Well adapted to the geriatric clients with physical limitations.
The Angel Fish aquarium pain therapy class is the best medicine I've ever had. They soothe my pain and provide emotional support which is so important when living with chronic pain. They are healing my body and praying for me and my family. It's more than a class. It's an emotional support system.
This YMCA is clean, especially the locker rooms and pool ! I am so glad the pool is cleaned regularly, I was a building supervisor for YMCA and it is so important to keep the pool cleaned regularly!! Thank you for the different swim classes daily !
Positive up to now. Will have to see how I feel with new instructor.
I've been a member for over 10 years. Great exercise.
Tyanne is a wonderful trainer and fitness teacher. I have utilized training at the YMCA numerous times. Tyanne is the only trianer I have had who makes me sweat. When I leave her sessions, I know I have worked out hard, pushed myself, and learned something about health and fitness. Thank you.
You need to pay decent wages to keep instructors and to hire ones when an opening happens. I was told salaries are the problem at the y.
The Y instructors are capable and friendly.
Love my class friends and exercise! Think the new teacher will be fine, we all just miss Jane!
Fall t-ball for ages 4-6 was not worth it. Absolutely no rules to make it a game. No outs, no running past first base, no strikes, no score. Nothing. A waste of time and money.
Is a great place
I feel very comfortable working out
The Energizers water fitness class is great! I have been a participant for years and Heather, the instructor, is excellent
The staff are helful and very friendly. It's a family friendly sports center.
Many reasons for this rating. 1. The place feels unclean of the time (stinky bathrooms, slimy showers). 2. Inconsistent policies: lifeguards do not always enforce the same policies all the time. E.g. sometimes they would allow kick-boards in the kiddy pool, sometimes not. 3. Lifeguards don't bother disciplining children who are rowdy in the kiddy pool, such as constantly jumping from the side into a pool busy with other kids, or throwing hard toys around. 4. On two occasions, the front desk employee felt compelled to question us while we were trying to scan our family through (such as asking us the names of our kids), making us feel like we were trying to sneak in people who did not belong to our membership. 5. Lifeguards trying to squeeze in other swimmers (without bothering to ask us) into our lane when we were already sharing with 3 amongst our family. 6. Very often, lifeguards are distracted chatting or flirting with each other while they are on the watch seat.
Always helpful and welcoming staff. All the machines, the bathrooms, and the facilities are clean to a high degree. The temperature of the building is always comfortable for me. I love the atmosphere that is curated here. Always a pleasant place to work out and hang.
The equipm
I recently recommended the Y to my friend and they joined. I enjoy the east of access to equipment, facilities, and classes
Shower room is usually dirty
I love the atmosphere.
It is very busy. I support YMCAs, but I would encourage people to find other area options that aren't as crowded.
Always enough equipment and time to get your workout in.
The Spears YMCA is a magical place! From the moment you walk in, you get a sense of community and everyone being there for each other to live a happy, active, healthy life with their familiies! It's truly a special place.
I had a great experience with Nick! Great guy and quite knowledgeable
The subs (Deb, Cindy, and Jane) are amazing at leading our Angel Fish group. Our team is like family. We care about each other.
