I love coming to the Y! When my schedule allows and doesn’t conflict with my class times, I come Monday-Friday or as much as possible. The instructors, staff and other participants are very positive and encouraging for this couch potato, and I’ve made new friends and run into old friends I haven’t seen in years!
The Windward YMCA is truly the best! I’ve lived in Kailua my whole life, and after joining a couple of months ago, I can honestly say it’s better than any other gym in Kailua. The facility is spotless, the machines are well-maintained, and the entire place is air-conditioned with free parking. The staff and members are so welcoming—they greet you when you arrive and when you leave, which makes it feel like a real community. With so many great classes and such a positive atmosphere, it’s a hidden gem in Kailua.
I’ve recently returned to the Y after many years. I’ve been enjoying Marti’s Aqua Stretch class. People in the class have been welcoming and friendly. A great stress buster. Even the drive from my home in Salt Lake to Kailua is relaxing.
My daughter has been taking swim lessons here. The instructors are very warm and encouraging. They have lots of songs and fun activities to help the kids get into a routine of what the class will consist of while also giving them a chance to build their skills throughout the session.
I love going to the chair fitness classes and the cleanliness of the facility. Also, I like how all of the equipment I use, works. A lot of gyms have a lot of broken equipment or the equipment has parts of it that don’t work. I am in my mid 20’s but I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and regular workout classes are too much up and down for me. Thank you for not saying “Senior” Piyo just Chair Piyo, Chair Fitness etc. Some Y’s name these classes for Seniors only and the Windward Y does not and I like that.
