### 5/5 — Great addition to fitness tracking

*2024-12-01*

The Y app is a great additional workout tracker that adds a degree of competition with other member as well as promoting wellness initiatives. With how extraordinary the gretna crossing facility is, the app only helps to put our Y among the top gyms in Nebraska.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

### 5/5 — Easy!

*2024-06-09*

Using the app makes planning exercise so easy! The ability to view classes only for my favorite locations eases the search. Combined with using my digital membership card for gym access, I now have no good excuses to avoid a regular fitness practice.

### 5/5 — Works quickly and easily so that I can get a view with what classes are when and at what location!

### 5/5 — So simple

This app is so simple and you can find out anything that’s available that will help you to be connected in some form you can work out at home as well log on and it’ll add to your account .

### 5/5 — Easy and automatic

*2024-03-22, version 4.1*

Just hold my wrist to the equipment and it automatically records my workout!  Easy peasy!

### 5/5 — YMCA APP

*2024-03-09, version 4.1*

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate

*2024-01-03*

We love using the Y app! It’s easy to lookup what classes are offered and times along with registration for activities!

### 5/5 — New to Y app

*2024-01-03*

I’m happy to have this app to follow progress as well as additional information. It’s nice to have additional workout ideas/routines. Having it tied to my phone is also great bc it tracks daily walking, equipment usage, etc.

The Egym equipment has simplified and sped up the process of lifting (that I frankly would not have done). Having a previous back surgery, lifting was not a priority but I feel comfortable doing that & trying to branch out & finding information/workouts suggested on this app.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

### 1/5 — Limited to One Location?

*2020-07-08*

Agree with CheersJeers that the app’s usefulness is limited by lack of a location selector.  The various locations offer different facilities and classes and so I frequent a few (well two) of them.  Especially now that we have to sign up for sessions (e.g. swimming), being to review what’s available at different locations would be great.  Without a location selector, the app is kind of useless.

For a feature requested almost two years ago, Netpulse doesn’t seem too interested in building its user base.

### 1/5 — No good if you use multiple locations

*2018-09-30, version 2.2*

The app asks you to select your home location, but then you're locked in to that. You can't access schedules for any other facility, which is ridiculous for Omaha with so many locations. I can't be the only one who goes to different facilities around town.

### 2/5 — No Swimming Schedules

*2024-08-12*

I am always trying to find the latest open swim schedules, I can’t find it in the app.  Also I’m surprised the YMCA has so many different apps websites.  You think it would be more cost effective to have one and partitioned by center/region

### 3/5 — Okay

*2023-03-09, version 4.0*

The older version was better, I’ve had no issues with bugs, info is easily found.

### 3/5 — Child Watch Sign-up Needs Improvement

*2020-11-29*

Booking classes is easy.  Needs improvement on signing up for child watch.  It’s a pain to sign up if you have more than one kid & use it for several days each week — you have to fill in all of their personal information separately for every kid.  You also have to go into your profile and change your “home branch” in order to sign up for child watch at different locations.  

To FIX these problems, 1) it would be helpful to have a profile for each child under the parents’ profiles (since they are in the system anyways, I wouldn’t think it would be too difficult) that you could check a box for scheduling a time so they could all be booked at once & 2) having a drop down menu to choose the branch for the time you are reserving.  (This is how the app at my old gym worked for child care and it made it much easier).

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2025-04-12*

A good way to stay informed.. daily classes are available. I like to go to different locations based on classes I like. If a class gets canceled it shows up on the calendar as canceled.  This app can also link up to you exercise minutes and much more.

### 4/5 — Tracking y workout

*2024-09-23, version 4.2*

Helping with what regimen I have done &
Lets me know what exercises been doing .

### 4/5 — Tracking y workout

*2023-07-25*

Helping with what regimen I do

### 4/5 — Nice app please allow more bar codes

*2021-04-22*

Nice app but I wish you could scan multiple bar codes so you could have your kids on the phone to.

### 4/5 — Links to calendar

*2020-07-06, version 2.2*

I love that your classes are linked to my calendar.

### 5/5 — Keeps me on track

*2025-08-18, version 4.3*

The YMCA app helps me to see my progress and keeps me on track and motivated!

### 5/5 — Silver Sneakers group classes

*2025-06-09*

The Silver Sneakers group fitness classes are a godsend. They are lower impact aerobics and circuit classes perfect for those that aren’t up to a full ‘aerobics’ intensity. The instructor’s are phenomenal!

### 5/5 — Easy to use and reliable for information
