Powered by GoogleThis was a wonderful way to experience the many options the YMCA offers to seniors to stay healthy, fit, and strong! Thanks for the opportunity! I plan to participate in a couple of these classes you offer. Again, thanks!
I really enjoyed every single exercise class, especially the chair yoga. It was very generous and thoughtful of the Y to organize this special event and offer the program for no cost.
We visited this YMCA for the first time today. The staff was so friendly and helpful, even gave the kids high fives. There were private changing rooms for families which is always appreciated. The pool was a good temperature and was so fun for my 5-year-old and 1 year old and my husband and I. They also had scripture on the wall and I heard a couple of Christian songs which was very cool. We will be back!
All I can say is Wow! Our kids had a blast. There were planned activities both inside and outside. Our kids were all smiles when we picked them up and asked when they get to go back! Thank you for a great experience!!
Our family was in Alexandria, MN for a brief (and very rainy) 2 day camping trip. We were elated to have found the Alexandria Area YMCA to spend our day! Highlights: -Guest Pass: For a mere $20, we were able to get a 1-day family guest pass for our family of 5! Including access to the pool, gym, locker rooms, walking and jogging track, workout equipment, etc. Also, we could come and go throughout the day at not extra charge. -Facility: Premium, clean and well-cared for facility that just celebrated its 15th anniversary. -Acquatic Center: A spacious zero entry pool, basketball hoops, water slide, and a connecting lap pool. Hot tub for adults only. Lifeguard on duty. -Family Locker Rooms: Numerous separate family locker rooms that included warm showers, a toilet and a sink in each. Additional gender specific locker rooms also available. Blow dryers in the women’s locker room. -Staff: Very friendly and helpful staff. Tip: -Check online for the ymca hours, pool schedule and the open gym schedule. Note that the water slide isn’t always operating. Overall, we had a great time and we are looking forward to returning to this premium YMCA next year during the MN State Trap Shooting Tournament! Thanks for helping us make the most of a rainy day!
