SWIFT CREEK YMCA MEMBER

I like the consistency and versatility of the water aerobics-based programs. The fact that I can daily double up on the classes is a plus so I can sustain a 2-hour workout is beneficial since I travel a distance to this facility. I love the friendliness of the staff and how some will attempt to assist and accommodate my physical challenges.

I like the variety of programs available and the fact that you have many different resources such as a pool and great number of weights ready for people to use.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming on my first visit. From the initial greeting at the front desk to staff members in the workout area up stairs. They were warm and inviting, which gave me a level of comfort being there

Childwatch is very well run. I love that there’s a separate area for the smaller babies away from the older children. Lots of space to play and very secure. Friendly staff too! Brings me a lot of peace of mind to drop my kids off there while I go enjoy a workout class or have a little time to myself while exercising.
