Member Testimonials
Inclusive of all and dedicated instructors
I like the availability of different kinds of early-morning fitness classes. Novelty gets me out of an exercise slump so quickly, and I can re-energize my enthusiasm easily at the kirk y. The scope of programs offered is also truly bananas (in a good way)! I love that I can exercise, sign my loved ones up for an art or cooking class, and make myself try something new in one place. More, one of my friends from work likes to share her take on programs offered to her and her kids in the evening (a mysterious time of day to me, haha!). It's so wondeful to me that her decision to pay her membership fee sets me up to lift weights before dawn, while my membership fee helps pay her daughter's dance instructor and keeps the pool open for her and her son to go swimming during class.

Friendly Staff. Easily accessible

I like that you do listen. Over a year ago some of us asked if we could have the white LED light bulbs directly over the track replaced with warm yellow and you switched them back to warm yellow. The reasoning is how badly the LED white reflect off the shiny track surface and its hard on the eyes. Thank you for doing that.
A couple of weeks ago we noticed that the lights were bright LED again, which is fine over the basketball courts but they are too harsh for the track. Some of the employees promised to pass this on. I know that LED is cheaper and less trouble but please could the track bulbs not be bright white LED?
They are very easy and convenient
