The staff is very attentive and kind with my child.
Swimming
Need to keep it at 5:30 opening all year long
I like the classes offered. We need anoth STRETCH class on Friday. Maybe another one on Wednedsay.
Need more CARDIO classes to compliment STRETCH classes. Back-to-back. Everyday.
Kids enjoy it and it’s about the only thing that hasn’t risen in price lately.
It’s convenient, I trust the Y to take the best care of my child, as I’ve had good experiences with summer camp. My daughter seems to enjoy it, and has several friends who attend as well.
Things that would help:
Assistance with homework-it’s very difficult to get my daughter to focus by the time we’re both home from a long day.
More outside time-I know they spend a lot of time in the cafeteria and outside play is crucial for growth and mental health.
Great workers!
Organized. My son has fun. Convenient.
I was hesitant with enrolling my kids because I was just not familiar enough with the program. I was nervous about the bus ride (even though I knew it was going to be short).
From the very first week, my kids would always get mad at me for picking them up because they were always having so much fun. They’ve made so many friends, love the activities and time they get to play, but also always get their homework done before they get home (I’m so thankful!). I appreciate the structure, counselor to child ratio, and attentiveness of all the staff, especially Josh.
I love the Y. I have been a member for years since my older boys who are 17 and 15 now where in 2nd and 1st grade. I have my younger children now in the Y and everyone is just amazing. Love the complete staff. I recommend them to everyone.
At this location I only attend the Wed. High Fitness class. For me personally, I would prefer that it was a little more cardio; also, for me, the instructor has the music volume a little too loud, even though I use earplugs. While working on my fitness, I do NOT like working on hearing loss at the same time.
Also surprised that a person has to scan your ID card; this seems a little backward. Most gyms, including other Ys, use a desktop scanner.
Because of the personal interaction with the kids
The employees are great and understanding..
AJ is absolutely wonderful! He works at the Mitchell location where my daughter goes every day, and he always goes above and beyond. He handles any conflicts calmly and thoughtfully, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about the kids. My daughter always says how nice he is and how safe she feels there. We’re really grateful to have someone like AJ looking out for the kids every afternoon!
Very helpful program for kids and parents
The people who work there are friendly. That means ALOT! Also, the equipment is great. Lot's of space.

The staff at the west park village location is fantastic. I can not say enough good things about Brandy, Ed, MaryAnne, Treva and Wendy!
Because the kids loves it
Our son has had a tremendous time with a Y after school. He gets wonderful care and he’s making a lot of close connections with not only other children in his grade but other children in the older grades. He very much enjoys his time what’s the Team. We feel safe with him there every day.
Friendly staff. Great vibe. Skilled trainers. Excellent variety of fitness equipment. There's something for everyone.....ages 0-100+ years, and fitness levels beginner thru athletes. Hours are convenient. I love it there.!
