Variety of programs/cleanliness
I love the friendly and comfortable environment! Feels like home amongst those who are kind and genuine to me.
Varieties of classes and programs. Courteous and helpful staffs.
I can tell people aren’t judgmental and the facilities are always clean
Variety, hours
The Y has great classes for people of all ages and abilities. I have made good friends there, which is more difficult as an adult with grown children. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
Everything! Kid activities great workout equipment
I love using the salt water pool! Everyone is so friendly at the Y. There are so many fun activities for kids.
Easy access to the facility throughout the week. Polite friendly staff and variety of equipment, exercise rooms and group programs, something for all ages. Clean bathrooms, pool and sauna.
It's not merely a gym; it's a community. Don't get me wrong; I love the range of fitness offerings from dance to strength training and self-defense. You can find a class that meets you where you are no matter your age or ability. The activities beyond fitness (e.g. gardening, knitting) allow me to get to know folks that I would not otherwise encounter. It feels like the old neighborhood community that raised me. Nobody is in each other's business, but they are available to lend support or encouragement when needed. McCleskey YMCA feels like a big hug.
Marian's swim classes Monday and Wednesday and Crystal's swim class on Friday - they are phenomenal and help me stay in tip-top shape physically and mentally. I also enjoy the 8 am Monday class and wish it were offered more often.
Great variety and tiimes
Swimming in the pool
Water aerobics
There's a lot of variety and it all feels very inclusive
Variety, the pool, that programs and services are provided and tailored to youth through older adults in addition to active adults. The many ways in which the Y gives back and provides for the community.
Instructors, cleanliness, equipment, community, sound system, pool is amazing.
The weight room has excellent equipment. My only complaint is that people will sit on s machine playing on their phone when I am trying to work through a circuit of machines.
So many wonderful activities for my family! Very grateful

Yoga has been great
Great facilities and wonderful staff.

Swimming
Marian G’s class has been the best! We don’t like the locks on the locker room units. The locks we bought will not fit in the narrow openings of the lock/handle. The lifeguards have been very great at the pool making sure everyone is safe. We’ve noticed the lifeguard supervisor making sure the lifeguards on duty have the appropriate training and information. We overheard him ask one of the lifeguards how many people are in your pool right now? It was really interesting to see how serious they are about safety! We have also heard great things about the childcare facility. Those workers seem to really care about the children.
Bright atmosphere, friendly staff that always greeting you, good day care place and staff
The staff is friendly and welcoming. Water aerobics are my favorite; Joyanna is great.
Although I don’t have children of school age, I appreciate all the programs for this age group. Especially during school holidays.
The Zumba instructors and the total body instructors are great. Special shout out to Dell, Jen, Sue, Guili and Fern.
