I will leave the Y when body pump does. There are several gyms that have body pump

The only reason I joined the Y was for Body Step and Body Pump classes. If they're gone, I'll have to drop my membership and join where Les Mills classes are offered.

Please keep Les Mills programming. I go to Southdale YMCA and all the instructors are wonderful and I love BodyPump and BodyStep. There is no other good alternative and for my health I need great classes like Pump and Step and having many variety helps me keep on going back. I did not hear positive feedback from the members who attended MOSSA programs (some of them told me not to waste my time) and I'm afraid if I feel the same way, that'll impact my exercise routine in a negative way.

My wife looks forward to her Les Mills workouts more than just about anything. She's heartbroken at the news that these may be going away, and it's clear she isn't alone. Please find a way to keep these going!

I prefer Les Mills Body Pump

As an occupational therapist, I am appalled at the poor ergonomic and overly complex routines that the Mossa classes use! I have left every class feeling sore and not in the good way. Keep Les Mills! Their classes are effective and simple, something that a diverse gym like the YMCA should want to provide.

I'm a charter member of the Woodbury YMCA (AKA Southeast YMCA). I've kept up my membership for the past 20+ years because I LOVE the Les Mills classes. I've kept my membership over the years, even when we've had membership fee increases every year because of the LM classes. If they go, I will most likely go to another studio in town that offers them. PLEASE KEEP THEM!

I love Les Mills. I do Body Flow and Body Pump. I use them as a cross train for running. If they drop the classes I will have to find another place to take these. I will drop YMCA if they drop Les Mills.

Body pump, step, flow and vive brought me back to exercise! I am nearing 70 years old and love these programs. They allow for all levels of participation, make group exercise fun, and build community. It would be a big loss for those of us who are not yet ready for only the classes designed for seniors!

I began bodyflow while going through chemotherapy 3 years ago. I was hooked from the first class the music the great format the whole mind body embrace and community that I felt with others there saved me during this difficult time. Don't drop the Les Mills classes

I sincerely hope we don't loose body flow at the WHite Bear Lake YMCA. My family recently joined becomes of these classes. They are consistently full and overflowing out the rooms...people love these classes! Don't get rid of them give the people what they want and pay for!

Typical corporate attitude. Management that have never attended Group Fitness classes make these kind of decisions. If these classes do not serve me, I will take my money to a different organization. Lots of alternatives in the Twin Cities area. The YMCA has gotten to be the "New" Senior Center. It is a very good place for Seniors because medicare supplemental offers free Y membership. However, this makes the rest of us members who pay " out of pocket" second class members. This info is just now spreading via members at the Ridgedale YMCA.

Please don't. Please don't do it like this. You're going to take away our instructors, consistency, our work out and the sense that we have a voice as a member.

Body Pump is my favorite thing about my YMCA membership. I've tried the Mossa class and it just does not compare to Les Mills. If they cancel the Les Mills classes I will seriously consider cancelling my YMCA membership.
