Getting good exercise and meeting new people.
The guy who registered me for membership was super nice and helpful. I believe his name was Aylish...I can’t remember spelling but he said it was an Iranian name . I’ve onky been a member for one week but I like spin class and the gym is very clean.
Pickleball
The YMCA IS CLEAN and it has UP-TO-DATE equipment. I love this.
I love the water fitness!!
I love the Y, except when school is out. Over the summer there were youth in the gym area without wrist bands (your policy) and at least one of them brought a basket ball (why was this permitted) and was bouncing it on the way out. I would think that if you are running day camps that your staff would require the youth to check out/in with them when they are leaving the area.
I assume that the youth are given a location to gather in case of a fire or other disaster so that your staff can get an accurate count.
Also, I wish you had a hot tub!

This teacher was the best out of all the teachers. She is in the water to check on students errors and make sure they are corrected. She is speaks clearly to students, instructs them and listen to their questions. Seldom chats with her colleagues nearby. Focused on her teaching to the students. Y should hire more teachers like her.
