What do you like about our programs and activities?

Your instructors are VERY good. The problem i have with the Y is the shower/locker room facilities. you need to replace ALL the shower heads, clean/replace the ceiling, replace all the dated/ moldy tiles in the shower stalls. the whole building needs a fresh coat of paint and updating

What do you like about our programs and activities?

This is by far the most inviting YMCA I have ever been in. Word is certainly getting out as the crowds are continuing to grow. I go about three times per week to jog on the treadmill and workout on the circuit. Very clean. Friendly, helpful staff.

Love the mini workout hand towels and cleaning supplies. Thank you!
One day I forgot my earbuds and a staff member offered my a pair of headphones. Thank you!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

WOW program and our instructor Jeff has really changed my life. I love this program. I am felling fitter with more energy and positive mindset since committing to do this program. Jeff is fantastic, super experienced and encourages you to push yourself but not exhaust you.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The calibre of teachers/ instructors is extremely high. I speak for myself and others when I say that we feel extremely lucky to have such high quality instruction.

Patty and Katie (barre) also Connie (Pilates) all deserve pay raises and an award for excellence.

Unfortunately I cannot say the same for the state of the Y.
The endless air conditioning problems. Studio 3 is either a sauna or a freezer. The fans have been broken for months also.
The colored mats are threadbare and full of holes.
There are not enough of the black mats.
There are not enough of the 2,3 and 4 pound hand weights to go around.
The women’s showers are disgusting, with broken shower heads and no water pressure.

I could go on and on but in short, the place should have been renovated a long time ago.

The ONLY reason I do not go to Spear ( which is closer to my house) is because the teachers and classes at Gills is so awesome.

Thank you.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

You guys do a pretty good job keeping you website updated with regard to group exercise class changes except occasionally classes are not what the schedule states
Great instructions for the most part. Only a couple are lackadaisical and do not lead the class positively

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The facility is very clean, the staff is constantly vacuuming, mopping etc. Machines are new and there are enough of them to get a good workout in. Wish they had another dip/pull-up bar machine inside like outside but that is nitpicking. We have not yet had a chance to participate in any group activities or use the pool.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

My rating is more so just for the facility overall rather than programs and activities. Love the gym, love the pool, love that additional machines were added and weekend hours extended based on feedback. Love how affordable membership is.

I do wish certain holiday hours were extended. When you close at 1, it gets packed from 10-1 with everyone trying to fit in a workout before close.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like the versatility of tour group fitness classes. The teachers are great and the Speer is so clean and new it feels lime going to a very expensive gym with a hometown feel. No judgements, everyone is so friendly and it’s one of the nicest gyms I've been too.
