Friendliness
I'm not a very frequent visitor but every visit has been great. My wife is more of a regular and I sometimes come along. The facilities and the employees, all the patrons are very nice folks. It's a great, diverse in many ways, kind of place where all feel comfortable.

We go to exercise and chat with friends. Also go to the class for seniors on Wednesday and sometimes Friday. Enjoy going.
YMCA programs and activities are friendly, doable, and appropriate for the different types of people.
I love the Schroeder pool. It's the only pool in the area where the temperature is low, so that when you're swimming laps, you don't start sweating as much.
I also enjoy all of the programs for Seniors, especially yoga. I love the deep water and shallow water exercise. I haven't been able to take aqua zumba, but I'm sure I would like that too. I also like the fact that there are a number of machines that you can work on, along with the track for walking. I like the fact that you have some machines and bikes with a T.V, so you can watch what you enjoy. There are two bikes with a TV attached, that happen to be the only bikes I can ride at this time because of tears in my meniscus and ACL. When my family was younger, I really liked the programs available for children. The children in my family attended camp every summer. Both children learned to swim at the Y, and as a result, my son was on the swim team, and my step daughter was on the synchronized swim team in High School.
I think it's a great place for the whole family. I have been member for approximately 40 years.
The early morning classes have expanded and are great!
i like the yoga classes and the tai chi class. You could add more of both. Sue Emlen's yoga class is exceptionally good and not to be missed. Tsuri's tai chi class is excellent. I like the exercise equipment readily available to all. I like that all this and more is included with membership!
I enjoy the parent child classes on Saturday morning. As a working parent this allows me to still participate in healthy physical activity with my child.
The variety of classes , customer service, whirlpool/ steam room availability. It is a bit far from my home, but worth the trip.
I like how friendly the staff is and instructors. There is such a variety of classes to attend and I’ve meet many new friends.
Rite- Hite is clean, friendly and has so many ways to stay fit that I’m never bored. The instructors are knowledgeable and make their class enjoyable rather than a chore.
Good instructors and affordable prices for the family.
Instructors who individualize and adapt to my child’s needs

Staff very friendly
Basketball program is excellent.
Swim lessons are excellent.
I enjoy working out in the water in the north pool. I like that I can come anytime in the morning and use it. I do some laps, exercise legs and balance at shallow end of pool and some aerobic exercises in the deep water. Doing it on my own time and not committed to a specific time and class.
I also would like to express my least favorite thing. I don't understand why the water exchange can't be done when the pool is closed at the end of the day. The reason I and others use the north pool is we are of an age that many of us have arthritis and the warmer water is good for our bodies. One day recently cold water was coming in during the exchange and it felt like about 80 degrees. I cut my 50 to 60 minute time of water exercise to 15 minutes. It had never felt that cold for me before before but when its below 85 it feels a bit too cold. My friend lasted only 5 minutes. It sure would be appreciated by many of us if it could be done at end of day after pool is closed.
There is an excellent variety of equipment and classes. I love how committed the staff seems to be to helping people achieve their fitness goals. People are friendly and excited.
Swimming pool
All of the instuctors we've had for our lids have been awesome. They are becoming very strong swimmers because if your lessons. We love the director Andrew! Also, thank you for going back to the Y swim prpgram vs. Red Cross.
Everything
We love our Y swim classes. Some of the instructors are definitely better than others. Miss. Cindy (Rite Hite) is great, with both large and small classes. She's our favorite and we see the most advances in our child when he takes classes with her. My hope is that all the instructors would teach similarly to her. The pricing is very fair.
I love the aquatics programs; there is a nice variety.
I am over 50 so I like the variety of programs for seniors.
The instructors are very patient
Group exercise classes
The Silver Sneakers classes
I love water Zumba the instructor Nicole is the best. I also enjoy working out and the hot tub of course.
