I'm a part of the Silver Sneakers group that Betty teaches at 10am Tuesday and Thursday mornings! I've been privileged to know Betty and the group of folks she teaches and it's fun, everyone helps each other and we look out for one another. The class is perfect for those of us that are trying to keep moving!
I love all the group exercise classes that come with the membership! You can attend as many as you’d like, and the instructors are always so motivating and inspiring. I genuinely look forward to going every time; it’s such a positive and energizing environment.
There is a wide array of activities and programs available. I participate as time and schedule allow. My favorites are the swimming pool and cycling classes. Not only are these great exercises but also affords the opportunity to network among the other members. As relationships develop, we hold each other accountable. Paul, the executive director, is genuine in his interaction with the members. He is also a great encourager and accountability sounding board. Doesn’t seem as if anything ever gets under his skin. Definitely a great leader. The trainers are another asset at the downtown Y. Both Megan and Kevin are always upbeat and personable. They aren’t always about the money either. If they see something worth mentioning, they are quick to offer pointers. Carl, the morning staff member and overall YMCA staff guru, is a very bright spot at the club. Quick with a smile and a hearty greeting, he is sure to make anyone feel welcomed and valued. Can’t say enough about the Amon G. Carter. Of course there may be an occasional bump in the road, but whatever it is has been resolved without anyone feeling lesser than. Keep up the great work!
Hello! My name is Mary and I am a wheelchair user. I frequently go to the pool at this location for hydrotherapy workouts by myself. The lifeguards, Layla and Scooter, are AMAZING at helping me use the pool life to get in and out of the indoor pools. They are always attentive to their patrons and their lifeguard work is truly outstanding!
I like swimming pool. Great customer service at the front desk. But you change the pool hours where there's no between one and three Monday through Friday sucks.
