Member Testimonials
I primarily come to the Y to participate in the group classes. I really like the instructors. Particularly the instructor for the Saturday morning Pilates, Donna. She is so personal and she made me feel welcome the first time that I attened her class. She is welcoming to anyone who comes in. I also take Zumba on Saturday and that instructor is personable as well. I also like the content taught in each of those classes.
Staff is friendly and helpful; facility is clean; equipment is state of the art!
Friendly staff and excellent Pilates instructors keep me coming twice a week even though I live much closer tobB’ham Y.

The new facility is clean and well organized. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I go for the Silver Sneakers group activities, and the wellness center for exercise equipment. I sure wish we could get back to adult pool exercises in the morning.
The staff are friendly and professional.

I participate in Silver Sneakers Yoga - love the leader Vicky!
Great classes offered and if I want the track is available for walking or running.
In both Zumba and Strength Training the instructors demonstrate the activity and give you examples of how just keep moving if you can’t do the exact moves they are doing. They make the Sessions fun.
Working out can be fun…..just keep moving
Everything!
