YMCA Healthy Living Center — Local services in Council Bluffs

I Loved The one and only time I got to try the aquatic aerobics! The warm pool did wonders on my body and I didn't feel ashamed of my body. I have self esteem issues and I didn't feel that way at all. All of the people that were there were people I could see myself being friendly with. However there was conflict of interest for me and another member. This person works in a field where outside we are not to have anything to do with one another!! I would never put this person in that predicament so my very first class was also my last. I wash I could have said buy. And I hope they will read this if they remember me and understand. I really did enjoy everyone. It was a lot of fun. Very worth going. And I did remember most your names🤗 I really wish there was another aquatic aerobics classes offered in the afternoon!! Or even offer a class in the afternoon or after physical therapy at Charles E Lakein YMCA. I don't know of any other heated pools. I just know it feels amazing on a hurting body. But until I 2nd class opens at another YMCA. The saunas and steam rooms are going to have to work for me...

It was bring your grandchildren day to swim and we had gone the year prior with no issues! My grandma brought us again this year and it seemed to be a huge issue to the lifeguard as well as some other staff because we were “a little older” we were not causing any issues no splashing or bumping into people just swimming around with grandma. After countless stares she comes up to me and says “ let her play with her grandkids or great grandkids” I’m like we are her grandchildren and then proceeded to give us attitude and to my grandma as if we were doing something wrong. We’re the only grandkids who visit and make time for her, and the only ones she knew she could count on being there like last year. My 13-year-old sister was even told by lifeguard (penny I believe) that they were “the boss.” I’m very upset on how it was handled and wish you guys would do better. I am so distraught about this whole encounter and will be ending my account with all YMCA locations...

The Center is a great place for adults to stay active, socialize, and be a part of something they enjoy with the wide variety of programs. The Center is always trying to have more educational opportunities, new programs, and intriguing opportunities for seniors in our community. We are fortunate enough at CountryHouse Residence to have instructors coming out to us to perform exercise classes for our residents in the comfort of their own home. We appreciate having partners like The Center in the community to provide the best services to seniors in out of the box ways. Thank you for all you do...
