I enjoy the aquacise classes Monday and Wednesdays at 9 am! The instructor, Cathi, is wonderful! She is positive and energetic and motivates the class members. She is knowledgeable and provides variety in the routines and picks great music---including a variety of styles! I have also enjoyed the new class on Fridays at 9 am with Honey. I think it is called Restorative Yoga in the pool. I will try that one again.

The group fitness classes are excellent. I especially love Zumba. Swim instructors are wonderful, too!

I like the hours and access to the swimming pool. The hours, for the pool, are better than the other facilities in the Omaha area.

Free weights include two power racks, Olympic platform, benches, dumbbells, typical cable tower setup with lat/row stations, etc. Also has machines (Cybex), cardio, basketball courts, pool.Nice staff, and equipment seemed well maintained from my visit.

The only thing I can tell you is that do not expect a great customer service if you are late registration (on the website, but you can still register in office) if you are late in registration, they dont have any problem taking your money,but they dont communicate with you what you need to do after that for your class. and you will be suggested to drive yourself to other locations for your childs sport shirt and ask the location if they MIGHT have it.you will waste your time in asking other location office to ask if they MIGHT have your childs size becuase you are late registration. but you did paid the full registration money! so dont be late registration on website!! And do not expect to hear any apologies from YMCA for the lack of communication for your childs class. because you are late registration, you will not get that either.

I have been going to the Y for several years and in addition to getting a good workout, I have made some very good friends. They offer a lot of different classes for people of varying abilities.

I am shocked at some of the poor reviews here. My family and I have been members since 2012 and love it! Their swimming lessons for kids are great and my daughter has had wonderful experiences at ballet/tap lessons and the instructor Heather is absolutely wonderful! The front stuff is always so friendly and the daycare staff always lets me know if any of my children are having a difficult time with me gone working out. I would highly recommend this place and have to family and friends!

Friendly helpful staff! Great equipment and clean. Just starting one of there great insensitive programs. Only constructive criticism is the locker rooms are a bit worn but still very usable and clean. Id recommend the YMCA without a doubt.

Just moved to Omaha from KC, I have been a member for years and trying to find one I can call home in Omaha. Walked in told them I have never been here before, the people working didn’t offer any help as far as making us feel welcome or offering to show me where I should go with my kids or anything. Just felt like I was inconveniencing her for having to look up my membership. I waited for her to say anything helpful before I asked where the kids go to play. She just pointed down the hall and didn’t offer any information on how it works there. Besides this Y not being updated and lacking features my last gym had, I have never felt so unwelcome. Will not be coming back.

It has been a year since I have been at the YMCA. The pool was clean and warm. I havent seen a cleaning crew but it was my second visit. Not sure what else applies yet.I go this YMCA but am disappointed in the cleaning crew or the people in charge of them. I have seen dirty floors in the restroom for a week at a time. I see rust on equipment in the swimming pool area and stainless steel that needs attention. I like the desk staff and the lifeguards and find them helpful and friendly. The water in the pool has been cold off and on. The showers take a while to get hot. When I started there were clock at each end of the pool. First one went out and was never replaced. Now the second one went out so there is no clock that is readable from the pool. Then my waterproof watch stopped but at least Im in the process of getting it replaced.

I love it here, I go here all the time. But one time this rude manager came in 15 minutes before the Y closed and said in a rude tone, get out, the gym is closed”. And I was shooting a free throw. That was the only thing I was doing. So I tried to make one, and I missed. As I keep on trying to make one, she keeps on yelling to leave the gym. And on my last and final attempt to make one, she yells at me “Leave or I’m going to suspend your YMCA member ship”. She said that to a minor. A kid just trying to make a free throw. So shame on her, beware for the day time manager. She acts and is a witch.

This is a solid Y. Never too busy in the morning. Equipment is in good shape, clean. Locker rooms could use some cosmetic updates.

Review №34

Absolute trash. Currently paying for a family membership and both of my kids play basketball, we signed up thinking what a great way to always have a court they could go play at. Needless to say the basketball court is frequently closed. They post signs saying times the courts are closed, yet you drive all the way back thinking the courts should be back open only to be told they are closed again, waste of time and money.

Do not trust them with your children! There is a reason why they have no reviews. All the other YMCA in Omaha are great, especially the one in Millard for Day Camp. This one is not and should of been shut down...

YMCA... YMCA...Laat summer our son was supposed to get sun protection but for 3 days they forgot. Son got burned. Had to talk to the director of the facility but nothing changed. As they continue to hire minimum wage high schoolers to watch kids, they will continue to hurt those kids.Yes we may take legal actions.Free service is one thing, paid service is another.

Everyone has been helpful and nice here. Its also the only location where my one year old daughter will tolerate the Y care staff and shes pretty picky!

Review №61

Very disgruntled with the Y. Took my 2 grandkids (8 and 5) swimming. Both of them are good swimmers for their ages. Both can pass the deep water test; swim across and back using a swimming stroke and tread water for 60 seconds. However , because my 5 year old comes from a very short family (I am only 5 ft tall) he is not 4 ft. He may make 4 ft in 4th or 5th grade like the rest of the family. Therefore he can not take the deep water test. We may have to find a new gym/pool for our families where he can do the things in the (go down the slide) like other kids his age.Age shouldnt matter. Skills should.

Review №64

This place is run by management who turns a blind eye to some of their rude employees. One lady who worked there was very rude and morally unhinged. She has short hair and looks like a stereotypical gym coach. I reported her, but they circled the wagons to protect their own. They had a management change about 2 years ago but the new manager was a corporate stooge type who smiles and nods and pretends like shes listening, but if it doesnt fit into her agenda then you can just forget about your requests or reports being taken seriously. They remodeled the place 1 and 1/2 to 2 years ago, but that is probably a desperate move to attract business because they have failed in so many other ways. You guys wanted to be rude and unaccountable, but now you can reap it.
