Alot of variety - I mostly swim at clairmint and take Susan's yoga at East lake. Everyone is so nice and welcoming
Everything.
I like all the instructors and staff. Good job!
The variety of classes, and the variety of times and days that classes are offered make the Y experience hard to beat. But most important are your dedicated, talented instructors. Most have a positive, friendly attitude and they are talented at their “craft.”
Great facility with awesome staff and instructors!
The pool is wonderful...always clean and plenty of times during the day to swim laps. The facility is very clean and well-maintained. Also, a great variety of fitness classes. I always look forward to going to the Y!
Water aerobics. Offered at great times. Pleased with instructors also.
I love the timing of spin class and the positive environment.
Lots of variety!
Great place to workout and meet other people who are interested in health and wellness on an individual and communal level!
The variety of classes. The fact that Coach Approach is included in the membership. The facility has free weights and machines (I wish there were more machines to exercise abdominals, specifically obliques).
Pool, steam, and whirlpool.

Exercise classes and teachers/staff
So many exercise classes! A fabulous variety with THE BEST instructors. And the price is right, particularly for seniors.
Additionally, the diversity of our YMCA membership - such a gift to our community! Young and old, all shades, multiple nationalities, LGBTQ ...
And the staff - welcoming front-desk folks, membership recruiters, childcare providers, Wellness Center consultants and trainers.

That it opens so early and offers great programs (like Body Pump) when other centers are still closed. Great for early risers!
You have groups that fits everyone's level and needs. The teachers are very skilled and knowledgable about their areas.
Everything.
Variety of programs/classes.
It's a community - from the people that greet you at the front desk to the instructors, staff members and patrons - I feel like I belong at the DDY.
I like the environment. It's casual, but well-run. People are friendly. Machines are kept-up and the group classes are really good.
The equipment and friendly service.
