What do you like about our program and activities?

Thank you Austin and Drew for being such amazing coaches. It was Parker’s first time ever playing basketball and you both made the experience fun, rewarding, and were always so positive. Your kindness and enthusiasm helped Parker gain confidence and a love for the game. You both taught important skills of the game and were truly invested in every player. The growth in the 3/4b team was superior and even won us the championship title. We truly appreciate your time and efforts and look forward to playing again.

What do you like about our program and activities?

The coaches were fantastic - so positive and encouraging, but also great coaches. We could see the kids getting better and better as the season progressed.
When the 3/4 B boys team won the championship on Saturday, every single kid ran to the coaches to give high fives and hugs, and I think that spoke volumes on how every kid felt about those coaches. Kudos to the team. Fabulous job.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

It’s a great gym with great people.
However you absolutely must ensure that the people exiting a group exercise classroom are allowed to leave before the next class members enter the room, which creates a bottleneck of chaos. There is also a woman who attends classes in a wheelchair and she told me she has a very difficult time putting her weights back in the racks and navigating her exit with the next class attendees creating a mob scene.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Its very nice but please consider adding a reverse hyper and glute hamstring machine. Its needed. https://shop.lifefitness.com//products/hammer-strength-glute-ham-reverse-hyper-combo?variant=Phone number removed5669&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=machines_shopping&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=Phone number removed1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_h8no-CqmQSN8RA7C555uLTCZ0n&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3K7RBhDJARIsAKRtP5T18h_CvrR7Vv3wqdk3JmO9oaWMDqqQ8zThH22R3fWS0yVGqyyw9aIaAm9yEALw_wcB

The Hammer Strength Glute Ham / Reverse Hyper Combo is a dual-function machine created for posterior chain training. Designed with a single pivot adjustment, this machine allows for a fast and simple set up and an easy transition from athlete to athlete for both movements. Fewer moving parts means better structural rigidity and a better feel.

Dual-functioning design helps maximize space by allowing for glute ham and reverse hyper movements to be performed in a single machine
Single pivot adjustment utilizes an arc to accommodate both user height and degree of exercise difficulty
Dual pendulum arms increase training variety for reverse hyper movement by allowing both uni-lateral and bi-lateral training
Two large center pads designed to increase comfort for both movements
Comes standard with two reverse hyper ankle straps

What do you like about our program and activities?

Ms Lane, Ms Ro, and the whole infant team care so incredibly much about my baby. They are so sweet with her. I know she’s safe and in the best hands with them. It means a lot to have teachers who genuinely enjoy what they do.

What do you like about our program and activities?

I loved watching my son slowly gain confidence in the pool, by the last lesson he was so excited to get in the water and I’m happy that he’s getting a good foundation for water safety so early in his childhood.

I was not working out, but needed to schedule appointments for Aqua therapy. I can’t make any evaluation at this point, but based on my previous experience… you are going great!!!

Sue is incredible with Ellie. She knows when and how to challenge her but when to hold off as well. Ellie has become so much more comfortable in the water thanks to Sue.
