Please let the powers that be know how disappointed I am that the Friday step class at the downtown Y will be cancelled for most of November and December due to lack of participation. My concern is...this is the ONLY step class downtown has to offer and since taking this class - about 6 months ago - it not only has helped me physically, but mentally as well. Koi is an excellent teacher and the class is challenging but fun! How can the Y cancel only ONE class that's offered? My workout routine will now be missing a most important class and especially during the holiday season when we're supposed to MAINTAIN our weight...makes no sense to me. What can WE do to keep this class and for Koi to continue to teach??? I've been a member for over 20 years and this one decision is very upsetting to me as well as other members.

Excellent program, good activities, friendly people
Everything
Group fitness classes
I love the classes! The trainers are nice and helpful.
I love the lunch time Y-warrior class! Great group of people and a great workout.
I enjoy the staff especially the Childcare that is provided for members:)
Good equipment. Convenient location for me. Great staff. Wonderful instructors (Kathy Haskell)
Love that it's never too crowded and the equipment is in good shape! And, of course, I love to see all the smiling faces. Location is a plus too! And free parking.
Everything
Love everything about this place. Especially the girls in the day care, they are so nice to my kiddos and that matters so much cause I wouldn’t be comfortable working out knowing my kids were being mistreated. ❤️ Thanks to all staff
The different times
I like the atmosphere, but wish you had more class options both morning and night, at staggered times so one can take two classes per night
Close to work, cool pool program like BOGA, love the city feel and the old building.
I like sliver sneakers programs....times and workout and the trainers...
Group activities make it easier to get exercise.
The instructors make it for me. Angela Brainard in body pump and Erik Anderson in Y-Warrior, help push me to the next level when I want to quit.
It's overall the best value for your dollars regarding a place to work out.
I love the Downtown YMCA. I should go more often but when I go, I love it. It's old but I love that about it! All of the teachers are really good and nice. When I go, it's at lunch and I find there is always an open treadmill and plenty of available equipment.
Great variety of programs. Awesome staff!!!
Y Warrior class and TRX. I wish TRX was offered on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday however
clean variety of equipment.
Love it. The instructor was patient, sweet and very helpful.
Flexible, friendly and professional
You have the best trainer in Erik Anderson! He has made an amazing difference in the quality of life for both my husband and me. Tough but encouraging!
The Y is always clean and the workout areas have all of the machines and weights to get a good workout in. The staff is always friendly and professional.
I like that the Y has a diverse and inclusive clientele. I don't feel intimidated there like I might at a typical gym.
Tai Chi on Saturdays. Hot tubb, everything.
Like the racquetball courts and the indoor track.
Also think the staff is excellent!

Very clean, nice staff
