Member Testimonials
Weightlifting area is not as packed as some other Y. Large locker rooms with steam room and hot tub. Friendly staff and nice large rooms with mirrors for classes.
The facility is clean and well-run. The staff is polite and informed about the facility and its programs.
There's plenty for everybody at the Trotter Y. Pool is clean and perfect temperature. Employees are all friendly and respectful.
I really like the variety of classes offered and the friendly atmosphere that is evident from the staff members to all those who workout. It's a good place to connect with people however you want. Sometimes I run into old friends, and sometimes I chat with those that frequent the classes I attend. There seems to be something for everyone, and I like that!
Love bridge and Polly’s yoga
Everything!
Variety in classes offered
The variety of classes, the instructors and everyone that works there. So friendly!
Personal Training by Shelley From
Tons of working equipment and cleanliness of gym
I enjoy some of the workout classes. Zumba is my favorite, but I also enjoy cardio dance and nightclub cardio. I like that the hours have been extended lately.
I enjoy cultural classes like Zumba that are not merely appropriated without inclusion of authentic soulful Latinx and Black instructors. Arthueria was one of the best TRX instructors she not only strengthened my core but her pure spirit helped keep me on my fitness path. When you bring back Artheria and TRX my experience will truly be a 10.
Flexibility and variety
The YMCA is amazing and beautiful club !! Simply love it
Diversity, Highly Qualified Instructors, Atmosphere.
Bridge
Exercise and friendly staff (I know that’s not a program)
All the programs I’d like to participate in (needlework, mahjong, book club and more) if I had time
The many great people-members and staff-I’ve met
And the cafe. Love that chili and it’s a place I can fellowship with my friends.
all the teachers for the group classes are great.
Swimming, weights
A fantastic facility - programs and building.
The variety of both and easy accessibility. Friendly and helpful staff. Availability of personal trainers. Great pool and water aerobic classes
Instructors like Shan!
Classes & the atmosphere.
1) please bring back towels, bleach kills covid
2) in RE to the TRX classes, please do bring them back and put them in a different room. The old room (Tellepsen location) was way too crammed and people were always turned away because class was filled to capacity and the people that did get to be a part of the class, we weren't able to do all workouts because of limited space. PLEASE use a larger room. I understand a lot of the gym goers are downtowners, but starting a class at 5:00 p.m. is insane, walk to the gym, change, etc. takes time. Classes should start at 5:30 p.m. weekdays.
3) please bring back the coffee in the mornings. I really enjoyed the coffee prior to a workout. Caffeine is a natural preworkout.
Thank you! please email me at Email address removed with any questions.
Zumba is my favorite. Victor and Vanessa are fantastic.
I mainly use the fitness center. Lots of equipment and friendly employees. Having access to a whirlpool and steam room is a special treat.
I use the Y primarily for the equipment and closeness to my Home. I am glad that the Y offers the programs and other activities as many of my friends utilize them.
ease of scheduling, clean facilities
Body pump is the best class. Love all the instructors! The app is so easy to use and book classes. Love everything about the Y.
Great instructors for group classes, especially core, Pilates, and yoga at Trotter.
Above those is the swimming pool at Trotter! So clean, may be a little too warm for master swimmers, and so well maintained.
And above all is the garden at Trotter. It Rocks! The word should be spread to all members that it is there to volunteer and have great green exercise. Tasty too!
So while I have your attention, one thing that I keep asking for, is hot water for women over 5’8”, to shower. The three showers for us are lukewarm and have been for over a year. I’ve asked and asked If some of the very hot water from the eight other showers for shorter women can be diverted for the many of us who either stoop to use short showers, or really don’t like to take showers in lukewarm water and grumble.
The variety
Good teachers, lots of variety, clean
