YMCA Twin Cities Members: Save Les Mills

I recently switched fitness centers to join the Bodyflow, and Bodypump classes at the West St. Paul YMCA. These are the best fitness classes I have attended, bar none. Their popularity is obvious..the classes are well attended at different times throughout the day. Please retain these successful Les Mills classes. Sincerely,

Bodyflow and body pump are the main reasons I belong to the Y Great classes and great instructors...

I love the Les Mills classes, especially Body Flow. I have taken yoga and Pilates classes at other places but Body Flow is the perfect exercise routine for active seniors combining strength, stretching , balance and core. Please retain the Les Mills programs at the Y.

Just heard about this today at class. Very disappointed about this decision. The body flow class is the reason I continue with my Y membership. Talk in the locker room is you will loose a large portion of your memberships should this change occur. People will follow this class at other faciilities.

Save these classes

Definitely will look elsewhere for body step and follow the instructors I love who leave because of this poor decision and format change. Disappointed!!!

Bodypum is my favorite class. I joined the Y over 3 years ago after I tried a bodypump class. Sometimes my schedule doesn't allow me to attend classes at my local Y thankfully I can visit different Y locations in order to get 3 bodypump sessions a week!

I love Les Mills! Sad if it goes.

Body pump is my favorite class! Don't know if I will stay if they cut it!!

Body step and Body Pump are the reason we, as a family, have remained members for the last 8 years, attending classes on average 4 days a week. It's hard to imagine the tremendous loss, and this would require us to look elsewhere for this programming.

Have body pump to thank for my muscles and body flow to thank for my piece of mind. As a special ed teacher, these classes I take 5 days a week feed my body and soul. I have tried the classes at Midway - blerg. Hoping you reconsider...

I truly hope the Y does right by its members and keeps the Les Mills programming that sets the Y apart from leader facilities. If the Y doesn't listen to the members, the members will choose other options for their fitness dollars.

I would be really disappointed to see les mills taken away.

Midway is my home Y. I've been to body blast 4 times. It's fine. Body step is amazing! If drive across town for a good body step class, if encourage people to join the Y to take a body step class. I often think about body step when I'm not at the Y. And body blast is a mediocre replacement. The passion is not there.

I hope the Y reconsiders this change in program partners.

Please keep the Les Mills classes. They are the reason we stay at the Y. We are faithful body flow attendees and would truly hate to lose it. We dont like MOSSA.

I'm out of the country right now... but I have every intention of coming back to the Twin Cities... and had planned on coming back to the Y when I do come back. Les Mills at the Y changed my life. BodyStep and Body Pump and BodyFlow were my reasons for going... I tried other classes, but always found them severely lacking. If there's not BodyStep or BodyFlow, you've taken away my reason Y. I'll find somewhere else that DOES have these classes.

Please don't take away bodyflow, step or pump. I really enjoy those classes.
