I actually worked here about 10 years ago in their youth room and for their youth summer camps. I…read morekinda miss that job! I decided to start using this gym again because of the convenience and because of the amount of equipment they have. Plus it's so clean and the bath/locker rooms are very nice. I was using Planet Fitness and they were fine, but it's SO loud in there and I feel claustrophobic. The Y is brighter, roomier, I feel cleaner, and it only takes me 5min to get to the Y vs. 15ish to PF. (I live in SSC.) Staff is nice, they always greet me and thank me when I walk out. I rarely use the pool area, but here's a steam room and a sauna. There's classes you can join as well. (I used to do them once upon a time ago. They were great. I assume they still are.) It's a tad pricy, (I pay $50 a month) but you get so much more than just equipment. I'm happy I joined back up.

The YMCA is an awesome place to workout. They recently upgraded all of their cardio equipment,…read morethey have numerous classes to take (Yoga, Pilates, Boot Camp, etc), great lifting equipment, full basketball courts, racquetball court, great staff and the option for indoor and/or outdoor pool access with your membership (at an additional cost). Their prices are very reasonable as well. I paid $636.65 (tax included) for a yearly family membership with the indoor pool option, which included two free months (New Years Resolution rate). Before you say, "Whooooah, that seems expensive!!", understand this price comes out to be only $1.498 per day (at 14 Months/425 days). Now divide that by the number of family members you have and it really becomes apparent how economical it really is. Just for kicks, compare that price to a larger metropolitan facility in Iowa, such as Prairie Life Fitness in Des Moines at $2.33 a day for an individual month to month membership (NOT including unnecessary and expensive sign-up fees). Living in the Ice Cream Capital of the World and the surrounding area, certainly has it's cost of living advantages. If you want to workout (or workOFF that ice cream weight) there are also three large economically priced workout facilities to choose from: 24 Hour Fitness on Hwy 75, The Body Shop on Central Ave. and the YMCA on 12th St. The 24 Hour Fitness and The Body Shop facilities definitely have a clear advantage over the YMCA if you can't workout during the day - they have better hours. 24 Hour Fitness and The Body Shop are open all hours of the day (including holidays), compared to the YMCA at 5 AM to 10 PM Monday through Thursday, 5 AM to 8 PM Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Saturday and 1 PM to 5 PM on Sunday. Although I have not researched the cost of 24 Hour Fitness, compare the YMCA's Family Membership cost with The Body Shop's (for the same promo period as the YMCA). The Body Shop's Family Membership is $577.16 (tax included) for thirteen months for the cost of twelve ($1.461 per day). However given the number of additional amenities included with the YMCA membership (indoor pool, showers, courts, classes, etc) for only about $59.50 more than The Body Shop's, the Y's membership benefits simply outweigh The Body Shop's hands down.

I was a member of Life Time Omaha on and off for over 16 years. It used to feel like a safe,…read morewelcoming environment where I could confidently bring my children and focus on my health. Unfortunately, my experience changed due to a situation involving a spin instructor that deeply impacted my personal life. This situation made the gym feel uncomfortable and no longer like the safe space it once was for me and my family. What has been most disappointing is how everything was handled. I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously, and ultimately I was the one who had to leave and cancel my membership after many years. I understand that personal situations can be complex, but when they affect members' comfort and trust, I believe they should be handled with greater care and accountability. Because of this experience, I would encourage others to carefully consider what kind of environment they're looking for when choosing a gym.

If you want a gym that has it all- become a member at Life Time. They offer a wide variety of…read moreclasses from yoga to heavy weight and cardio led by encouraging and knowledgeable instructors. If you are more of a person who likes to plan their own workout, they have a massive variety of machines and free weights that ensures you are able to get a great workout in without having to wait a long time for a machine! They also have an amazing indoor and outdoor pool. The outdoor pool is a DREAM in the summer- I could literally spend all day here. They have an outdoor and an indoor cafe that has high quality ingredients and food, truly making it so you could spend your whole day here. On top of the workout classes, expansive gym, pools that make you feel like you are no longer in Omaha- but somewhere more tropical they also have a great workspace if you are looking to make a meeting right after a workout. They have a clean, well maintained locker room that allows you to shower and get ready for your day here as well. Life Time is truly like my second home. Perfect day: yoga, steam room and sauna, cafe for a protein packed smoothie, get comfortable in their work space and get power through some projects, pool with a book and a slushie, shower off and go home. Could not be a more perfect day.

He has already made great progress in the short time he's been there and continually sees improvement each week. There are multiple class styles/levels to choose from when you sign up: Individual, group, or parent and child for the littles. Each one has a trained life guard teacher going through various, age appropriate/skill appropriate steps. All steps much be completed before moving to the next level. One thing we like about Swimtastic is that after each session, the teacher gives you feedback for you to work on with your children to master their current level. We'd recommend Swimtastic to anyone looking for swim lessons for both young and old swimmers.

We had a few issues over the few months we did lessons, but overall it was just okay. The instructors are good, but not great; most of them look to be in high school. They do offer free lessons through email which we did take part in to get extra time in. As any monthly membership be sure to cancel at least a month in advance to avoid wasting any money. We needed to switch days and times and that was easy. If you're in this area, it's not all bad, but it's not my first choice. Also not its in a super busy strip mall, with barely any parking.
