For me convenience, I live in Huntington Woods. However, the equipment, the great
staff and the diversity of the people that are member's. A shout out to Kennie Mitchell though.
He does a great job in representing the Y and is extremely popular with the
members and myself!!! Also, the front desk staff as you walk in are great. I don't know all the
names but Joe and Imonie (sp) come to mind.

The Y is a friendly, well-run facility with a great diversity of programs and services. The staff seems very good and I always receive a warm welcome. I think the cost of my monthly membership is VERY reasonable given the variety of programs offered at the Y.

Love the EGYM and everyone is very helpful. The ones I know are Kenny and Joe and they are very personable. Would love if you could bring back cardio drumming. Appreciate that everything is clean from the workout spaces to the locker room.

I am relatively new to my membership, and joined specifically for the egym with the intention of using the equipment 2 or 3 times a week. I appreciate how easy it is to access the facility and equipment.

I've also used the sauna. It would be helpful to have a clock or timer right in the line of sight with the sauna window, to be in line with the 10-minute usage guidance.

I hope to be able to join yoga classes at some point as well, but I see they fill quite quickly.
