Not to many people when I come and everything is so nice and clean
I like that there is a variety of programs for all ages.
I really like the way the staff interacts with the children!
As someone who recently relocated to this area, the Hillcrest YMCA has provided me with a sense of family and community. I was warmly welcomed - and continue to be cared for - by the amazing Member Service Representatives at the front desk. As a Silver Sneaker member, I have found a vast array of classes which fit my needs and wants, in addition to the "regular" classes and activities. Although this particular facility is "old school" and does not have all the "bells and whistles" that a newer campus may have, it is a comfortable building which feels like home to me. I've made many friends among my classmates, as well as the various staff members. Although my health and well-being are important to me, the people surrounding me are even more important than the exercise classes, fitness room and pool. In this age of increasing social isolation by both young and old alike, I feel that the sense of community which the Y can provide to all ages needs to be actively promoted as much as, or even more than the fitness programs and activities.
*Note to the PR or media person who may be reading this … a blitz campaign is needed to promote the YMCA as a place of social and community action, not just a place where we used to take swimming lessons when we were eight years old.
Open gym
Great range of activities for all ages. Super friendly people. Some of the equipment is old and not always in working order though.
I like water exercise so that is what I do at your Y. I hope the Hillcrest Y is on the list for replacement because some of your newer facilities are so wonderful and this one feels old and a dated but is closet to where I live. The old Richmond Mall and Severance shopping area are under going changes and might be ideal locations. If you haven't already considered a move maybe you should check out those locations.
Everything
I like the water and class . Barb the instructor gives the customers a good work out and she encourages us to do the exercises and she recommends the equipment that is best for us to use.
She has a good attitude.
They seem to have something for everyone .
I like the Pickleball. I’m not really using the facility for anything else

Good water work outs. Nice people.
It would be nice if the broken or missing wall tiles in pool area were fixed. When you are in the water, it’s bard to not see them. They still make 12” tiles and the paint can be matched by computer ie. Dunn’s Hardware
