I like the new equipment and the nicely paved parking lot. I SURE WOULD LOVE A JACUZZZI OR STEAM ROOM.
I love the variety of the water aerobics cyoga & Zumba) classes as well as the new land classes: yoga, meditation , Tai Chi and especially Prince’s senior class, which is not for the faint at heart😃. All the instructors are fantastic.

Programs created to meet many needs, especially for seniors. All are treated with kindness and respect. The class are not only appropriate but also staff shares options so that one exercise can be adapted by individuals as needed. Thank you also for your warm and welcoming staff at the front desk.

The Y is convenient. Too it has the best senior yoga class around.
All the employees are such kind-hearted and thoughtful people. They know your name and ask how you and your family are doing. The classes offered are great for people of all ages and levels of activity. The Hillcrest YMCA is a pillar of the community.
Well, I have visited the exercise room and decided not to come when the high school kids are there (smile). However, the adult teacher I had for Aquafit---- the water exercise class was AMAZING.
A lot of different classes day and night
flexibility of hours, friendliness of staff
The variety of and time of classes offered
The water aerobics class was a really nice workout for my arthritis and high blood pressure.
Swim
I do especially like using the pool for exercise and therapy. I feel that it is the greatest asset for seniors.I only wish that we had an updated facility.
I love the pool programs, they help with my balance. The staff is helpful and friendly. And the members are very nice.
All the people I come in contact with, from those at the desk, personal trainers (Sami) and group exercise instructors (Shelly, Elizabeth) are wonderful and non-judgmental. I initially joined to sign my son up for swimming, but I now use the Y more than he does! I really like using the machines, Zumba Step and Zumba (regular) classes and my husband likes to use the machines.
Healthy activities and learning discussions. Line dancing and bus trips etc
There's a wide variety of activities close to home.
