My first visit. I live in Frankfort, so I hadn’t been here before. I struck by the differences between this new flagship YMCA, and our facility in Frankfort.

I primarily only use the gym area that provides any and all aerobic and anaerobic activities. Some particular segments of exercise are getting a bit overcrowded and overused such as the four recumbent stationary bikes overlooking the pool. I mention overused because various things break frequently such as the fans, but the TV’s are always malfunctioning. As of late, only one TV works correctly, two are totally out and one has a very fuzzy picture. And this is a perpetual problem that has never been totally fixed. Most of the treadmills are nice, but even they seem to have TV problems.

I do believe that because of heavy use, various weight machines are getting harder to access, but I adjust my schedule to come in between 11AM and 3PM.

This should be considered just modest comments as the overall gym and its environs are a tribute to a well tended and administered organization that provides tremendous benefits to our local society. Since I live in close proximity, Whitaker is an absolute godsend for me.

And people like Will and Ron are SUPER.

Best wishes, Ken

It's a beautiful facility with a nice pool and exercise rooms. A lot of good classes to take.
Would someone please check the showers in the women's dressing room? Several of them have very loud squeaky pipes when the water is running. It has not always been this way.

I love this YMCA, installations, workout equipment, pools, sauna, jacuzzi, all kind of classes this place is awesome! 👏

Always clean and lots of stuff to help stay fit. Love the pickleball courts.

Walking track
Egym

There are plenty of classes that fit my needs as a senior adult. I am interested in the walking track, the e-gym, and the Silver Sneaker classes. The facility is so lovely!

Clean, well maintained facilities. Staff and instructors are kind and knowledgeable; very helpful. Variety of classes.

Everything

Silver Sneakers activities.

Instructors are all very good- very positive and upbeat and know their stuff. If you can't do something they all give alternative ways. I have been very pleased with all of the classes taken. i can't say enough good about the Whitaker YMCA.

We love the Y- from the many classes offered for children and adults to the family events they plan and provide to the community. The Y staff is always smiling, supportive, and ready to lend a hand when needed.

egym and pilates are great

I haven't participated in any yet but the facility and equipment are top notch

Love Mary Leppo and the yoga

Facility is clean; people are friendly!
A variety of great activities-bring back DRUM, BBEAT, BOOGIE!

I love the EGym. I love that this branch has more machines to work on and the machines are spaced so well. Staff is friendly. Having the Egym is what makes me comeback week after week.
I like the pools, the spacing and the layouts. I like the locker room. i haven't joined any other programs or activities because this YMCA is way out of my area and travel time is a big factor as to when i can come and how long I can stay.

We love the convenient location, the swimming pool and the walking track.!

well planned and organized

Overall atmosphere is very good.
Very positive
I really enjoy coming to my Y.

I mainly use the pool to help keep my body feeling fluid by swimming laps. I also love Whit Whitaker's aqua fitness classes. He is an excellent teacher! He is clear, specific and attentive to the class as a whole and individually. I love that the pool room is kept warm in the winter months.

I utilize the walking track frequently as well as the Yoga class led by Dorothy Moore. The track is very nice but sometimes gets a little crowded. Dorothy is an amazing instructor. She gives us a good workout and then ends the class with an uplifting thought.

I enjoy the active older adults' classes. A good variety of silver sneakers classes are offered. All the instructors are wonderful.

There are a variety to choose from and the instructors are always so friendly.

Lots of different equipment and classes. Friendly helpful staff

The overall size and atmosphere of our Y is very good. Very rarely is there a wait for the equipment in the afternoon. My wife loves BLAST of the Day.

Programs (availability & instructors)! Nice family environment!

Easy to access.

Friendly staff who are also very competent.

Sauna and the steam room
