I like the exercise facilities, the swimming pool and the Pilates class led by Lucky. Lucky is an amazing instructor.
I need to do more of your classes, particularly yoga and pilates. Right now I only do cardio (treadmill), machine and free weights. I wish you'd make more room in your free weight area.
The variety of activities, the good machines and the friendly staff.
I love the classes, HIIT especially. The nursery, Mary and her entire staff are an absolute blessing!! They always have smiles and open arms, even to the babies who aren’t as thrilled to be there. Mary’s patience and encouragement is invaluable to me and my family.
The staff. Every staff member I have encountered had been friendly and knowledgable. Overall the entire facility is a tremendous value.
I like that fact that it seems like your facility is family oriented and very welcoming
Variety of group exercise classes and love that the Y does so much for those who need help in our community. Also, LOVE the people who work there.
Clean friendly environment.
I was just arriving early for an appointment at VA Hospital down the road and dropped in to get a swim and really enjoyed your new whirlpool, probably not so new now as has been awhile since my last visit. Your people are so friendly and welcoming!
Thanks,

I love that there is a huge amount of variety and that it's inexpensive to join.
But not for swimming. We had a horrible experience and were not satisfied by the response we received from our local YMCA. The main problem was continuous teacher turnover and unpleasant personalities to deal with little children. Other programs - gymnastics, adult classes, summer camps - we are happy and recommend to others often.
Great pool and exercise space, wonderful staff!

Great staff. Often see them working with disabled people on their workout routines. Variety of classes. Everyone feels accepted regardless of body type, age, etc!
