A cleaner pool. Better hours for lap swimming for adults only.
Bring back 430 classes like spinning or add power pump as later class is too full
The environment and welcoming of the young staff.
Not enough parking is a problem. Overcrowded classes. Maybe have class limits or offer more of the popular classes on different days or times.
With the exception of Saturday morning, the water aerobics program is the best in all of Omaha, meaning the best of all of the Jim’s in Omaha.
I liked the line dance class. It was fun and not intimidating for this first timer. It would be good to offer similar classes at the Blair YMCA .
Would like longer hours at Blair YMCA, specifically Sundays—especially in fall & winter!!!!!
I love deep water aquatics. We get a great workout every time and Gretchen is always upbeat and energetic ( even at 8 AM). I ‘d love to see this class on Friday mornings too. The locker rooms are clean, but the showers seem to break regularly. Parking can be a mess, but I appreciate the 65 and older slots. I can usually get a spot there.
The physical environment is well kept, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Its a very nice gym!
The staff is nice and the equipment is maintained well. However, the locker rooms are vile.
One can see how poorly the floors are cleaned - just look at the dark film buildup where the floor and walls meet, in corners, and under the urinals. Private bathrooms are just as bad - dirty and wet - and the sauna often smells bad too. These spaces need to be sanitized more frequently by someone who takes some pride in their work.
Another issue are the number of aimless high schoolers during the weekday afternoons hanging about on the equipment and in the hallway to the restrooms waiting for their parents to pick them up after school. It gets obnoxious sometimes.
Parking, more aquatic instructors like Zumba that Jackie used to teach, and silver sneakers taught more like Jackie.
Parking when school is in session is a nightmare especially for seniors
Some concerns about access during the school year.
I love the pool!
Good place to workout . The place is clean and the equipment is well maintained.
The water fountain between the sauna/steam room and the pool (right by the pool office) has had 0 water pressure since this building has been built. I bring it up every other week to have someone fix it and for whatever reason you guys refuse to get it fixed. I feel like a water fountain right outside a sauna/steam room would be the most important water source in the building… why is it so difficult to have this fixed?
move popular classes to bigger gym,fix broken showers quickercontinue with parking monitor now that school is starting back up
Unpleasant parking situation. Many people on machines - too busy when I’ve gone. The aquacize class was good and nice facilities for swimming and changing.
Very clean facility, lots of options for group fitness, convenient location, helpful staff!
Variety and volume of equipment. Courteous staff.
medicare covers the cost - good location - variety of classes - friendly staff - clean
Location seems a bit overcrowded. Could be due to Butler Gast being temporarily closed. Would like to see more fitness class offerings in PM and weekends. Would like to see more dance fitness offerings too, like mixxed fit, and weights other than body pump. Front desk staff could be a bit more attentive. A lot of ppl sitting there talking amongst one another, not enough visibility circulating throughout facility, including restrooms to make sure things are tidy & clean.
Parking is okay, easy in and out of the pool
No family around. Friends took me to the Y.
Check in process is not consistent. Had my daughter bring her cousin one day, and then the next day they wouldn’t let her in. She is 10 and I was sure that she was on my membership as we took her swimming before and just paid for her to get in. They refused to let her in and my daughter and elderly mother in law waited over an hour to get it figured out. Which they never did and I finally told them to go home. Not sure why she would be allowed before and then not allowed the day I'm not there. The front desk people are more concerned with talking to each other or their phones to actually help. The time before when me, my daughter and Husband came there were 3 people at the desk and they ignore us until I said something. Some of them are nice and do a great job, others, not so much.
