Member Testimonials
The staff at the downtown Y couldn't be any better. The facility is well managed and kept clean.
Our son had an awesome basketball season with coach Maurice. We would like to express my sincere appreciation for him. His excellent leadership has been a positive influence on all the kids. What's also remarkable is his sensitivity and ability to truly understand each student's needs and personality. We feel very fortunate to have had him as a coach.
Our kid had a great experience. I give the coaches so much credit since I would not have the patience to deal with a bunch of 6 year olds sitting in the middle of the court when they're trying to teach some basic rules to the game. They did a great job harnessing the energy into the game.
Being part of the volleyball team at the Y has been an amazing experience. It’s not just about playing the game it’s about teamwork, growth, and community. The coaches are supportive, the environment is positive, and I’ve made great friendships along the way. The Y gives us a space to stay active, build confidence, and have fun. That’s why I always recommend it!
Great group classes, clean, convenient, friendly.
There are a good number of teams and games which gives our players many opportunities for game play experience.
Appreciate the small focused classes. Instructors are very patient. Facilities are clean. My daughter really enjoyed classes and looked forward to them. Her technique and confidence in the water are certainly improved!
I really enjoyed the swimming lessons and the different pools. The instructors were nice and friendly. I do believe with a few more sessions, my child would know how to swim. I appreciate the small group lessons, so each child was able to get dedicated and hands-on experience. However, the first lesson, it was very confusing and no one greeted or let me know where I should be and who I should be with. We also never received a quick tour of the pool areas to show us the restrooms and change areas.
Love the atmosphere. My son enjoys it.
People are great people work with you. It’s definitely a place that I love my son going to
It was awesome
It was a good structure for a program.
Coach Eddie builds strong relationships with the students, encouraging them to do, and be the best they can. Coach Taylor works hard to develop practices that meet the stage of development for each player.
The coach is awesome, he is always in a good mood
My daughter loved the volleyball program! Coaches were great and we had a couple. She cant wait until the next session starts!
My grandson had a great time learning to play golf. I will sign him up again after the summer. The instructors were great and worked well with all the kids.
We love the YMCA, Ms. Gabby in the daycare room has been an absolute blessing to us helping with our 1 year old who was never in daycare before. Mr. Will does an awesome job keeping the athletics running smoothly. The staff walking around and at the desk are always friendly and smiling, always looking for new activities to keep busy children active and happy.
Lots of great programs, friendly staff, and a lot to do to stay healthy!
The Y has one of the finest yoga instructors I've ever encountered (Sue). I rarely try most of the other classes, but she is outstanding.
Amazing experience. Every time! Coach David and Coach Preston are so patient and attentive. My son learned so much and he gets better and better with each session
Very convenient location, friendly, helpful staff, and well equipped with quality fitness equipment!
Great job of showing kids sport fundamentals, understanding sportsmanship, team building, and increasing confidence.
The large amount of equipment that is well maintained. The staff is friendly and very helpful. A special recognition to Kelly Cortez and the Livestrong program. It has had a positive impact on both my life and my wife's.
Everyone is family. Staff is friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable about the equipments. The day to day operations are very professional.
great place!
The classes are very good and the pool is a nice size
Great place ! However you pool staff needs to do a better job of using the net periodically during the day to clean out all the bugs that are in the Therapy pool .. I mentioned this to a life guard and all he said was yes we have a net but he DID NOT move to clean it 😒
Good machines, staff very helpful facility clean
I'm a 100% disabled veteran and use the Y with my VA Pass. I go 3 days a week to use pool to exercise. I'm very grateful you provided this service for disabled veterans. Thanks and God Bless
