What do you like about your Y experience?

Love the classes. However some are sooooo crowded it is dangerous, especially for classes using equipment (weights, bars, etc). People move around a lot and could easily be injured. Instructors, who are already busy enough, really should ensure the safety of the participants.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I enjoy the Dancel center Y. It’s the people at the customer service (Karen) who are not so pleasant and empathetic. I have been a Y member for over 10 years and have never asked for anything and now during these challenging times under this new administration I asked for my payment date to be changed and was denied. I am a federal employee and not know from one day to the next what may happen with my employment. I explain this to Karen as well as the fact I yea to work with BETNIE DANCEL. Karen did not care nor did she assist me I. Getting what I needed done. I went to the Dancel center and my payment date was changed with no issues or resistance.

What do you like about your Y experience?

This is my home away from home. I always look forward to the Aqua Arthritis class on Tuesday and Thursday. Trisha Smith is outstanding as the instructor. The variety of exercises and stretches always leaves me with a sense of real accomplishment. Since I have double hip replacement the warm water pool is just what the doctor ordered. In fact it is what the doctor ordered. He recommended this type therapy as often as I can.

The staff at check in and lifeguards are always smiling and helpful. I feel safe and comfortable the entire time at the Y. My fellow classmates are friendly and curious as to my progress. The parking lot is usually full which causes some anxiety but I guess the word is out. This is truly my heaven on earth. Thankyou Y for being so close and convenient to my world.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Great classes and pools. Great free coffee, the staff and other customers are so friendly.
Weaknesses;: insufficient parking: lockers are old and some have defects. Some of the showers have defects. The sauna is too small so I can’t get in half the time.
