Member Testimonials
I like the group activity classes you have some great instructors
I think the activities for seniors are absolutely great! And, I believe this to be almost entirely due to the tireless efforts of Elena Dinkins. A relative who visits our Y from Clear Lake tells me his Y does not have such extensive activities and he loves our Y when he visits. I enjoy the Games Day and lecturers Elena manages to bring to the Y. I always learn something new.
The biggest factor however, I believe to be the friendliness of the staff and the members. I also like and appreciate the diversity which exists at the Weekley Y. I really appreciate the space allowed in the desk area for coffee and talk with friends. In act, I would suggest the TV always be set at Closed Caption so people can enjoy a conversation. In today's world, enough time is already spent before observing screen-TV's, computers, cell phone and I pads. We need more face to face interaction between people.
And on a final note, I do exercise and love the older treadmills and diversity of the weight machines. I am not fond however of the large equipment (center back). The added noise of the tire falling or the weights falling to the floor is unnerving. I would suggest a noise level test since I recently read that sustained noise level above a certain threshold can result in some permanent loss of hearing.
Finally, kudos to Mr Marvin who is a joy to watch as he greets the children every morning.
I love my Y.
Variety
As a Senior Citizen, I like the activities and exercise opportunities that are offered. We need to stay as active as we can, and this helps a lot! I'd like to have more reserved parking for those of us who have some difficulty walking the distances of the parking lot, however! Thank you for all you do for us.

Facility usually not TOO crowded
I like the people on staff and the big array of people who use the facility. I like the feeling of family and community. It is a happy place. I am very happy with the yoga and body flow classes I attend. Tomako and Halimah are great instructors.
I love the group classes!!
A large variety of classes at different times of the day every day of the week.
Geared to all ages. Wide choice of classes and machines. Large outdoor pool.
I love the separate pools. I can always lap swim. My kids love the kids pool and the slide is typically open. It's also pretty clean. I can't say that about other Y's.
I like the classes and teachers:
Zumba Strong - Bea is so positive
Body Combat - Leslie is high energy
Yoga - I wish there were more classes and instructors like Olga available
I love the new equipment in the gym. I love that the pool is shallow enough that my 8year old can go into pool safely.
I joined through Silver Sneakers and have been very pleased with the services. We also paid to have trainer Soraya help my wife and I set up a training program.
I enjoy the pickleball program.
