Our family has been members of the Yarrow YMCA since it opened in 2019. We used to joke that we…read morepractically lived here. When my youngest was a toddler, they took great care of her in the Kid Zone while I worked out. She's a big girl now, but she still enjoys many of the extracurricular activities offered here, including swimming, drawing, gymnastics, and last but not least, table tennis.
The facility is clean, spacious, and has plenty of equipment. It's also in a prime location that's easy to access. If you use the equipment on the second floor, you get beautiful mountain scenery, especially in spring when everything is green and colorful. The facility has gone through a few upgrades over the years and is currently going through another major one. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result which will make an already nice place even better to work out in.
Personally, I really enjoy the variety of fitness classes they offer, including Spin, Power Sculpt, HIIT, Zumba, High Fitness Dance, and my newest "let's try this" class, Cardio Kick. There are plenty of options depending on your fitness goals, schedule, and personal preference. The classes are great for building mobility and physical and mental strength while also developing useful fitness skills.
There are several instructors, each with their own style and focus, and classes are offered at different times of the day. The members also range from different age groups, but there's a shared positive attitude: we're all here to work out, stay healthy, and hopefully survive the class. I always feel like the other members in my classes lift me up with their energy and strength, which makes working out that much more enjoyable.
The YMCA is known for being a place for family and community, and this one is no exception. After being members for so many years, I can say it's not only a great place for families, but also a pretty good choice for individual fitness, especially if you like having plenty of options to keep your workouts from getting boring.
