Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I love working out there. I use the treadmills and strength train utilizing the machines.

When the gym is very crowded, it can become frustrating as you can see 8 to 10 members sitting on machines for 10 to 20 minutes just scrolling on their phones. What can be done about this?

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Great teachers & classes are one reason. A good variety and frequency of classes are another. Great humans (both working & being members) at LVO Y who are kind, welcoming & accepting. * Nice facilities. Fabulous hours. Dario’s healthy eating.

*My neurodiverse young adult was keen to do classes and the kindness and support she has received from teachers, fellow class participants & (nearly) all at the Y, in addition to classes she has such fun in, keep her wanting to return. A special thanks to Lisa for frequent fun dance classes along with warm greetings (and full acceptance of wherever participants are in their capabilities to follow along), Tania’s fabulous energy & smile during her super enjoyable water aerobics classes, and all the welcoming & kind participants in both these classes. As a mom, I’m so grateful my daughter feels so comfortable & accepted at the LVO Y that she wants to keep coming! Also, my college student comes and lifts and uses the cardio machines with friends and I am similarly grateful for the whole space the Y provides. (Having come here for a variety of programs starting w baby swim no doubt has something to do w them coming!)

Thank you to YMCA staff, the Lynch & Van Oterloo families, the board, and all members who make the LVO Y so welcoming & a cepting.

Great facility! My only issue is that Dario’s cafe smells sooooo good that I can’t help but get a muffin after a workout!

Great staff personable friendly.
New equipment Finally.
Would not recommend it for kids am not a fan of a Community bathroom where perverts could get to kids. Bad idea the world is not safe and you will not keep them safe by allowing men in with girls.

Love the classes and pickleball. Hate how difficult it is to see a full weekly schedule without going into every single day and checking rooms. This dumps you back into the full Y area list. It takes sooooo much time. Just make a monthly or weekly schedule.

I always enjoy my time when I visit the Y. My 6-year old goes to the swimming program and plays in a daycare, I do Zumba. Cannot wait for the summer when outdoor pool will be open.
