I like most of the group exercise choices and timing. I need to get my workout done before 10:00. I do miss body combat though.
I love the y so much! My kids love coming to childwatch and I love the facility! I previously asked for a stationary bike to be on the main floor (like the ones they use for cycling classes) and staff members made it happen!
Thank you!
There are several different classes to accommodate all age groups.
Family oriented. Classes for seniors.
SilverSneakers program is great!
the pool.......but its not open early enough in the winter to catch any warmth......4pm or 4:30 would be better !! Love Leyla - best teacher ever!!

I enjoy the Silver Sneakers class with Eliot and the monthly luncheons
I love the Les Mills high intensity workouts like Body Attack, which you offer a fair bit, and Body Combat, which I often find at more times at the Trotter YMCA. Your workout equipment is easy to use and the area is fairly well supervised with trainers who can offer a spot or other short assistance. I also find the clientele at Foster among the friendliest of any in the city. I honesty don't know why that is, but other locations often have a different atmosphere such that participants REALLY don't want any newcomers to 'take their spot' in a class, but at Foster people are always happy to make way for a person coming to a class for the first time without resentment. There also seems to be a more upbeat tone in the classes I take there, with people encouraging each other and a real effort to try to have fun during the workout. I love when I have time to get over to Foster YMCA. Everyone there is friendly and well-informed and pleasant to work with.
I would love to have TRX classes offered. And the outside space could be used for a big soccer field instead of the mini covered space in the middle. Add a few basket ball outside too, it would be nice and a good use of space.
Variety of options!
Scheduling is good and your staff members are friendly.
Your programs and activities are suited for the needs of the whole family to be met.
The activities are well balanced for all ages and the time slots are very thought fully planned out.
The people are nice. Great exercise programs for everyone. Clean facility.
Very good instructors, good variety!
Great classes. Clean. Love the childcare
Classes well organized. Class registration promotes fairness for all. All instructors do not use the microphones which would facilitate an improved a hearing experience for those who have hearing issues.
I like the group classes in the mornings. I just wish Body Flow would come back. I really miss it,
I wish the childcare hours were longer, or started earlier in the afternoon.
