Tennis clinics

Mr Dave and the childwatch team!

While I do not take advantage of all the resources available to me through the Y, I do use the fitness facility an a Personal Trainer regularly. I am very satisfied with the fitness facility and my trainer Alex Lefever.

I enjoy the warm swimming pool to do my laps and to take the aqua classes in the mornings.

Something for everyone.

I am mainly interested in the gym&the pool at UMLY. I am very grateful to have access to both. In 1967 I was blown up by a large, 3 part explosive device while leading my Marine Rifle Platoon through a mined area in Vietnam.
I thus received numerous wounds, and have been wheelchair bound since then. I mention these details only to highlight how friendly & helpful the UMLY staff members and brother and sisters at the gym and pool have consistently been over the decades.
This "human element" makes UMLY outstanding in all respects.

I like the fact that I can play tennis or pickle ball, workout, or swim, all in the same facility, all year long.

Group ex classes, but I have a suggestion to use social media to promote them more such as when a new class is added. Some classes don’t get many attendees and I think if they were promoted more we would get more members.

I like the options and the ease of signing up

Focus

We LOVE the actual instruction and what you're teaching my kids in the pool and I've always been a huge fan of UMLY, since my time there as a kid.

However, I find it challenging that the schedule moves around from session to session and you can't sign up/reserve a space for a longer period of time. I've missed out on some continuity because I haven't remembered to sign up early enough and the next session fills up. Personally I think the current class should receive priority placement or pre-registration. I also find the online system incredibly hard to navigate. There should be a reminder of what current level you're in, and what you're looking for. For instance I just signed my daughter up for stage 3 lessons by accident when she should have been in stage 4, but stage 3 is now at the same time and day of week as her old stage 4 class, but I didn't catch it! The whole process could be much easier!!!

I love the variety of the group exercise classes! They have changed my body! I also appreciate the friendliness of the staff at the front desk.

Wide variety, talented team, kind staff.

Instructors and variety of classes

The instructors are very good and patient with my daughter with swim lessons. She is making slow and steady process getting better at swimming and being comfortable in the water. I wish the registration was better - online registration is often closed before I get the letter telling me what swim class my daughter can take next.

The UMLY brings together kids, families and nature. All good!

Swimming
Pickleball

Great variety of good programs.

Everything ! Pools, Gym, Tennis courts !

Yoga
Pickleball

I am finally returning to regular exercise after a couple surgeries in 2023. During the winter, I participated in spin classes and indoor pickleball. Now I am doing outdoor cycling on my own but have started outdoor pickleball at UMLY.

I love the vibe of UMLY. The staff is always helpful and friendly. It sets up an warm atmosphere for the people participating in activities. Though I am still learning a lot about the game of pickleball, the other players are helpful and supportive.

Love the aqua sessions

Ms. Samantha's Preschool Musical Theater class is wonderful. She is an excellent teacher. Mr. Bill's swim class is equally wonderful and we love Rising Stars Basketball!
