All I’ve ever done is swim for almost 30 years. I love the year round outdoor pool! I swam
at Weekley during maintenance. Trotter is so much nicer. It’s very difficult to find a pool in the Dallas area to swim in during the winter. I had no idea how spoiled that I was.
The whole building is clean, up to date, organized with many high class people who come to stay informed and healthy. The classes are extraordinary with excellent instructors and friendly participants. It is a super way to see nice people and exercise.

There are so many activies and the classes are fun.
I went to my first Trotter class, Body Jam, and that was awesome! I'm usually in the weight room and cardio area and just appreciate how low key and diverse everyone in the weight room is. We all want to get some movement in but it doesn't feel intense. It's nice to get to know people over time, facilities are clean. I have nothing negative to say about the Trotter Y!
My only comment on that is that the women's sauna could be hotter! Some Y's have more programmable saunas where you can designate it as "low" or "high" - it would be cool if this one had something like that.
I attend group exercise classes every day from Monday to Saturday and absolutely love them
The teachers are fantastic, very knowledgeable and experienced..
I have made so many friends at the Y. As a single senior, it’s like a little family to me.. a second home !!
Please keep up the good work !!

I’m very happy to attend the Forever well program.
Body pump is excellent!!
Love the Sh’Bam classes…contemporary music and sassy dance movesLove all the teachers. Fun group of people work out there. I learn a lot and am a little more fit because of it.
I love the fitness, coach-led classes, the variety, and numerous time slots throughout the day.

Very varied. BUT:
1.Yoga classes too cold, traditionally done in warm room, certainly not VERY cold. And Yoga teacher sometimes also allows fans, even if only one person requests it.
2.A/C needs better method of adjusting all over the building.
3. Pickleball signup only allows 4 people. So that when people sign up and don't cancel there's no way of knowing that. Y should notify non-cancellors, so they dont keep doing it.
4. New floor in Great Room is not good. Needs fixing in some places.
