Difficult question.
Physical aspects including some of the most ’state of the art’ exercise equipment, great gym, walking track, beautiful pool, list goes on.
The Community Spirit and atmosphere in the Wellness Center & Classes eclipses physical stuff.
SOY has So much more than above.
The people on Staff are on key and make the Y a great choice.
Yeah, difficult question - so I won’t answer it.
Regards
