Frindly staff. Ou "Fitness after Fifty" class is great.
Friendly people
I love belly dance and can’t wait to try Hula this week. I appreciate the controlled numbers of participants and other precautions you make amid the pandemic. I love Zumba and I’m happy there are several classes. I’m going to try most of the classes. I’m also looking forward to trying the kick boxing class.
I like the YMCA because everyone is very friendly, and I love the water aerobic classes. I get a good workout and I feel great the rest of the day.
I think the Y is making every effort to keep things safe. Some member less so but overall feel safe.
I like the way that swimming is set up, so that people can schedule a time to be in the pool. I also want to compliment the lifeguards. Last Friday, I experienced a cramp in my leg as I was finishing my laps. The lifeguard was very observant and attentive and made sure I was okay before I left.
I also like the virtual programming that I can watch at home and follow along! I'm not getting out to the gym as much as I used to, so these videos are fun and helpful.
The Hillcrest Y is very clean and safe, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Hillcrest Y is friendly, attentive to one's needs and very easy to access.
LOTS of different and diverse programming for senior adults at many various levels, with instructors who are trained to work specifically with the Silver Sneakers program. The class members are friendly and fun to exercise with; I consider them my family away from home. The Member Service Reps are knowledgeable and helpful and really care about those who are members, as well as those who are looking into being a part of the Hillcrest Y. The five days a week that I go to class are something I look forward to; activities I consider good for my health, both physically challenging and mentally stimulating!
Hillcrest Family YMCA is a place as a child growing up into adulthood to present, I would have loved to grow up in and be apart of as well as my children. Not only are the staff & instructors great, but the overall members I come in contact with are great. You're always greeted with a smile. Front desk/ management actually knows my name. Hillcrest keep up the great work.
I like the friendliness of the staff and the variety of activities.
I only use the gym.
My wife uses the programs but due to an issue with her foot has not been there for several months.
Desk staff is very personable, knows us by name that makes you feel welcome.
Love the group exercise programs, especially Ester's "over 50" classes.
I really like that some of the programs allow me to bring a guest. It gives them a chance to get the same great experience that I receive.
The other benefit is the early start times.
Also the staff is aware of my activity and compliments and encourage me during my visit.
They even remind me to sign up if I haven't done so for some of my regular programs if I forgot.
You try to accommodate the kids with continuous programs even during these difficult times!
I love the instructors at the YMCA, Cookie and Esther. They are outstanding and make their classes really stand out. I have gone to other gyms and still come back to the Y.
I like the deep pool. The people who work there are really nice people.
An effort was made to resume activities with guidelines for safe workouts, and protection of clients.
I like the recumbent bike. I might be interested in pool exercise but I'm not sure if I can get in and out of the pool. It didn't look accessible to me.
Friendliness
Friendly staff, nice facilities, clean.
The swim instructors are wonderful!
Small groups
I like that there are activities for children, I understand that the YMCA serves as a fitness place mainly for adults but different from other gyms you all have done a good job of thinking about the whole family. My children enjoy swimming and being able to have open gym.. .safe and fun options during this uncertain time.
The front desk staff are always warm and welcoming.
The swim staff are excellent instructors.
It is nice to have this available, especially now.
I participated in the line dancing and Zumba classes (Thursday and Saturday) and LOVED them! The instructors were so friendly and welcoming!
There seems to be a program for every age and ability. The Covid-19 restrictions are in place and I feel comfortable being there. Every staff person I’ve encountered has been welcoming and helpful.
The Hillcrest YMCA truly is a place for everyone!
I am a HUGE fan of Hillcrest YMCA! I joined recently and have been taking full advantage of the pool. I have some mobility issues and with the pandemic had really been losing strength without having a pool to swim in regularly and when I saw that your pool was open - I joined right up.
Love the staff at the front desk and the life guards. Could not ask for nicer or more helpful people to help me learn the ropes of scheduling, checking in and out and just there for any question.
So glad I joined!
Variety of activities. Friendly atmosphere. Follows COVID-19 guidelines to protect members.
