Yesterday, I finally made it in—honestly, I had to drag myself—to the Orokawa Y after two months of paying for my new membership without going. I was feeling very low on energy when I arrived.
At the front desk, I was greeted by Crystal. I told her it was my first visit and that I wasn’t feeling my best. From that moment on, she took care of everything. Crystal was warm, upbeat, and incredibly helpful—she guided me where I needed to go, set me up with a new fob, and even helped me get digitally connected for check-in.
I spent about 30 minutes focusing on myself, and the difference was amazing. It felt like a complete 180—my energy and mood completely turned around. I left feeling refreshed, energized, and like a different person.
It’s because of caring individuals like Crystal that I not only plan to keep my membership at the Y, but also to attend more regularly.
Thank you, Crystal!

only been to one session—tai chi, which was good. ask me later
We love the Y and especially like taking our three kids to the family pool. The new 15 minute safety break is quite disruptive to a session with 2 kids who aren't old enough to use the slide. After thoughtful consideration and speaking with other parent members, we do not understand why the entire family pool must be cleared during this time. Why can't the roped off deep end just be cleared or why can't the splash pad part of the pool be kept open for the kids that can't use the slide? Cutting the use time down by 25% for everyone except those using the slide is not a fair trade off. We obviously want kids to be able to use the slide safely, but this new rule seems way too drastic and significantly impedes on the experience of all members, to facilitate slide usage for a small group. If the pool must be closed to open the slide, I have two recommendations: 1) shorten the time to just 5-7. We were there last night and every kid got to do the slide about 3 times in the first 5 minutes. 2) Only operate the safety break rule during a few specific hours during the day and not during the really busy weeknight hours. It is really inconvenient to break up the swim session for a quarter of every hour.
I love Stay & play. I was a totally exhausted and overwhelmed single mother and the care child feature saved my life
Group classes, pool, pickleball, great staff
