Numerous programs, summer camps, classes, a sauna and pool. Excellent cardio area. Community oriented and far more diverse than other gyms.
Staff is great.
The variety of group exercise classes. Many choices.
Your programs are designed for all persons with varied physical abilities. You have a very friendly staff!
I like the friendly atmosphere there. What I don’t like is that most of the monitors on the elliptical machines don’t work. You are going to lose members because your machine maintenance is weak. Otherwise, I love the place.
They fit the community's lifestyle while maintaining a certain uniqueness.
Water senior activities and the friendly helpful atmosphere.
I like the workout area a lot! It's spacious with a good variety of equipment and feels pretty clean, too.
Also really appreciate the Play Center and how good the ladies are with my daughter.
I'd like to see prenatal classes added...maybe yoga and something in the water
Pilates Class was fun
It really represents the diversity of the community. Special programs and training for people with special needs--that's another kind of very important diversity. Member-centered management. The leadership sets a wonderful tone that filters down. The ethical and human values of the leadership and staff come through strongly every single day. From the executive director to the people who clean.
Very friendly atmosphere, friendly people , every body is willing to help etc diverse activities available etc...
Good classes and instructors! Please ask them to turn the volume of the music down. Our hearing is a vital part of our health and should be protected! The group exercise rooms are small and don't need big sound.
Play center ladies are amazing
Friendly staff and very nice studio space.

Coach Keisha Devoe is fabulous. She is loving, inspiring, and devoted to the growth of the boys she coaches. She is a jewel, and I hope the Y will recognize her extraordinary efforts.

Something for everyone. Very good, caring fitness instructors/ coaches.
