It is the people who work there and the wonderful people who I have met through the activity groups I participate in that make this such a fun place to come to.

Warm pool. Relaxes my muscles & joints.
I love the pool and bingo.
Love the Get Up and Go class and Pilates. I wish the room was larger because these classes are really crowded and between Covid, RSV, Influenza, and all the other respiratory diseases the crowded area feels too risky.
Such a friendly environment.
I like the instructors, the times available - getting to meet and know new people - it's very positive
a real asset for our community
also appreciate 20-20-20 on Sundays at the Lakin Y, especially the instructor (Krista) - she is a real asset to the Y
Great classes and instructors for active senior citizens. I attend and enjoy classes but procrastinate and never work out on equipment. They are a very friendly group. I also like warm water pool and Debs classes. Hate water classes with the instructor prancing around outside the pool.
Friendly, hard working staff. Always willing to take time to listen.

Members & employees are inclusive, helpful. & friendly
Excellent experienced instructors with a variety of classes to choose from and mix up your exercise routine.
I enjoy the pool facility. I like the aerobic water classes on Monday, Wednesday & Saturday with Deb and Tuesday & Thursday with Lauri. They exercise the whole body which is great for me because I have hip problems. I have attended Pool Karaoke twice and had a wonderful time.
All the employees are fantastic! They are friendly & professional 😊
Peggy & Diana are rockstar low-impact cardio strength instructors. They give clear, consistent instructions, verbally cue changes in advance, set rep expectations, keep participant safety a priority, offer alternatives for those with limitations and provide encouragement to help us excel in our efforts to stay strong and healthy. Thanks !!!!
Everything
Making new friends.
I use and like the swimming programs under Debbie and Lauri they both are fun and great teachers with different objectives.

The great people you meet along the exercise pathway. Healthy programs.
