YMCA of Middle Tennessee. Hack 2.1 + Redeem Codes

I do love this feature! But what would be really helpful is to have the class type put into categories so you can find all the class options in that category (as your class type is long! And somehow the letters get cut off). So example - I’d like to take a yoga class, of any type at any location. The filter does not make this easy to find, as your yoga classes have many names!

The new app is not user friendly. Some of the features in the old app were way easier to navigate (I.e. changing locations...still haven’t figured out how to do this in the new app, searching by date). Please bring me the format of the old app for searching for classes. Add being able to search different locations. I consistently visit 3 different locations based on their class times and my availability. It’s so difficult to find a class right now because I’m only able to search one location in the app. Otherwise, I have to go directly to the other location’s website to find their class times.

I like the new ideas, but the execution needs a bit of tweaking.
1) need to be able to switch locations more as easily as on the old app
2) love the challenges but the counter isn’t right. I show 3 more days with workouts in one part of the app compared to the challenge part.
3) the old ability to filter classes by time of day was really helpful. Please bring that back.
4) if still doesn’t track your check ins at the ymca. It seems like that should have been task number 1. Why have us create an account if it doesn’t hold that info? Why not have this connect to our existing YMCA accounts?
5) 7/29 update: two months of the app and this is the second month where the goal portion of this thing stops working a few of days before the end of a challenge period.
6) 9/10 not being able to filter the class time periods like we used to is really annoying. For those with 9-5s or people who only go during the day, it makes no sense to have to scroll through all the classes. The old app was better.

Before I started using the YMCA App, my workouts were at the mercy of memory and motivation. I never knew what classes were available within my changing daily schedule so I often stayed home and did not much. Now that Im using the app, I can tell my day how it’s going to go and plan to succeed in my fitness goals. I’ve missed very few days now, have more energy and only have 10 more lbs, out of 35, to reach goal weight! It’s been a life changer for me.

Planet fitness has a feature on their app/website where you can pick a club and it will estimate how many people are expected at each time for every day of the week.

Its updated with actual crowd size in real time so if you want to avoid crowds you can.

Thats a really helpful feature not just for people avoiding crowds during covid but for anyone who wants a minimum wait time for equipment. Please check out their free app to see how that feature works and copy it!

This brings so many features I had been wishing for! Thank you. I love that multiple classes and class locations pop up, as I use 3 different area YMCA’s. I’m able to see all classes and class types together for the day, for the nearest locations, and I can therefore choose which time and class and location I’d like to attend based on what’s happening!

I love knowing which instructors will be teaching so I can plan ahead before commuting to the gym. We all have our favorites. I also enjoy using the workout log feature so I can track my total workouts each week/month. I wish there was a way to add weight and height so the calories would actually be accurate.

Sadly this app is a step backwards from the previous app... biggest concern, as voiced by just about everyone here, is that you no longer have the ability to easily view the programs, classes, etc. of locations other than whatever you select as your Home location. I live between 2 locations so we would typically go to both of them based on the activity, timing, etc.

Hopefully someone is reading these and will restore the functionality that we had on the previous app.

This app is a huge step down in functionality and just plain information accessibility. One of the most user-unfriendly apps I’ve ever been forced to use. Cannot switch between locations and no intuitive design. Please work on the ability to switch YMCA locations. The social media aspects are worthless if you are just trying to find a scheduled class. I don’t want to share my every treadmill use to Facebook, I want to know what times an exercise class take place. Please focus on information access and not worthless social aspects.

This new app is several steps backwards. It's made for iPhone, so it does not use the full screen on iPad. Once you choose a location, you cannot easily see the class schedule at the other locations. You cannot easily choose the date when searching for a class. Rather, you have to scroll up/down to manually find the date. Many of the selections just display content directly from the YMCA website. I hope the app can be improved.
