What do you like about your Y experience?

I love the ethnically community, great facilities and my caring and attentive trainer. Just had double knee replacements, and the strength, and flexibility he has helped me develop have been invaluable in working with PT and OT.

I love the Y?

What do you like about your Y experience?

I have a very positive experience with the exercise classes. I attend the yoga classes regularly and love them all. Other classes that I attended on a now and then basis are also good. I am disappointed that the Y has become less sustainable with those disposable towelettes instead of reusable towels. What's more, they are too wet and then I need to bring my own towel or if I forgot it, I have to use a paper towel to dry off the equipment.

The paper towels in the bathroom are also disappointing.

Some remarks regarding the landscaping. The volcano mulches around the trees will damage the trees. It will cause the bark to start decaying and roots can also start growing up and around the tree. I am a master gardener and know what I am talking about. Check out the University of Maryland Extension on this issue. Your landscaper should know better. But then again, i see this bad practice everywhere which leaves me to believe that landscapers are making a big profit on mulch.https://extension.umd.edu/sites/extension.umd.edu/files/_docs/programs/hgic/HGIC_Pubs/Landscape/HG803CommercialLandscapeSeriesMulchProblems_2018.pdf.

Also, the ivy needs to be addressed. There is a batch growing up a small grove of trees near the Allegheny entrance. They will eventually kill the trees and then you will have a huge expense in cutting them down.

Thank you for your considering my feedback.

What do you like about your Y experience?

The facility is clean, spacious and well laid out.

Each staff member is friendly and helpful, and has a positive attitude.

The facility does not smell like many gyms. I smells open and fresh.

It is not noisy like many gyms. People bring their own ear-buds and listen to their own music or plug into an entertainment selection on an exercise machines.

All of the equipment is clean and in good working order.
