The programs and offering are incredible!

Every week my child gets to swim - what an opportunity- explore sports, and do gymnastics in a state of the art facility with safe, *fabulous* educators who LOVE all of the children.

My family feels so fortunate!

What do you like about our program and activities?

The staff is very involved in each individual needs of their children and make sure they are well cared for. My son is in TK and started in Green room (3-5 years old) he has learned so much and I fee he will be ready for kindergarten with all he has learned with their curriculum as well as social and emotional skills.

What do you like about our program and activities?

My almost 2 year old son has so much fun he doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day! All of the staff knows his name and says hi to my son and I when we are in the halls. He is thriving, both socially and developmentally. He never comes home with a rash and he’s always clean after a day of play, which is a testament to how well he is looked after throughout the day.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I’ve belonged to many gyms/fitness facilities and I can say that the LvO Y truly has a great balance of friendly, talented staff, onsite childcare/daycare, fantastic facilities (from swimming to weightlifting to squash to basketball and tons of aerobics and yoga classes to try) to keep most anyone busy and fit. There is also ample —free—parking. And the member ‘vibe’ is friendly and welcoming. People smile here.

It all adds up to an overall level of satisfaction and enjoyment that keeps me (and quite a few of the members, it seems) coming back for more. It’s also great knowing that, as a not-for-profit (global) organization, the Y “gives back” to the community in ways that most people aren’t aware (check out their website). If you’re not a Y member, and/or you’ve never been, definitely check them out.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Mr. W at the Glover afterschool program is engaging, fun, and really cares about the kids. He brings an energy to all of it that is really special. The Y is lucky to have him.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Fantastic facility. Only down fall is signups for programs full up so fast so you just need to stay on top of things. But this is true for most Y’s.

The director and assistant director are super helpful and know all of the kids so well. Our daughter has gone through the toddler, preschool, and TK rooms and has had wonderful, nurturing teachers. We love that she gets to do swim and other sports.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

It's a great facility overall. Cost of membership is reasonable. I especially like the the large open work-out rooms on the 2nd floor, equipped with some weights, platforms, and other work-out gear. It's nice to have a non-crowded space for doing exercises.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Classes are great. Fitness floor equipment is terrific. Staff are enthusiastic and helpful. Pool is fantastic.

But the reason I keep my membership at the Y is the infared sauna. It has made a noticeable difference in my inflammation. I add a 20 minute sauna session to every workout that I do.
