Also, if you double booked two classes at the same time for example, or waitlisted on one, it needs to give you a clear message why instead of just saying “Booking not allowed”. I tried putting a class in Favorites but it doesn’t seem to work. It just keeps asking me for the location. Not a well designed app IMO. ### 4/5 — Madison Area YMCA *2025-05-07* I like the health challenges. Sometimes they don’t start up on time which is a pain. Overall makes it easy to stay in touch with classes and events. ### 4/5 — Easy Peasy *2024-10-16* The app is easy to use. Nice that you can take care of class reservations without picking up a phone for a call. ### 4/5 — Easy to use app *2023-10-10* Straight-forward re programs and other services. Very easy to see schedules and book classes. ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-06-01, version 1.7* Very useful functional app! Helps a ton with scheduling workout classes and knowing pool schedule. ### 5/5 — Easy, Quick, Helpful *2026-08-18* This app helps me book my classes which in itself is very useful. I don’t yet take advantage of other aspects but think when I get around to it, they will be helpful. ### 5/5 — Beautiful facility with Terrific Classes/Instructors *2026-06-27, version 2.1* My title says it ALL! Really! ### 5/5 — Try the Y *2026-06-04* The Y in Madison is very welcoming and friendly. There are multiple gyms and a wide selection of workout machines. I personally like the E-gym because all your machine settings are stored and you don’t have to remember them. Or you can use the excellent personal trainers on staff who will remember your settings for you. Ha! There are also two pools and dozens of swim classes including learn to swim, lifeguarding and pool fitness classes. Plenty of other gym classes too and I like the yoga and spin classes. They have so many other classes the list is too long to write down here so check it out. If you’re into team sports, they have pickle ball and basket ball on 2 full basketball courts. In summary, I think it’s great value considering all the options to get fit. ### 5/5 — YMCA app *2026-04-06* I like signing up for classes with the app. It makes me accountable.
