What do you like about our programs and activities?

It doesn't help that the pool was down for so long. Because of my arthritis, I rely on the pool as my main source of exercise. My physical strength has taken a hit because of all the covid restrictions we have had to endure the past two years.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

First, it is a beautiful facility with great equipment and great employees...The group classes are what I enjoy most and the instructors are wonderful! Would like to see more SS classes, esp at later time of day. Gina and Erica are true assets to the Y and I think you and the members are lucky to have them...

What do you like about our programs and activities?

We like how family-friendly the Y is. We swim, use the exercise facility, splash pad, school day out, and summer camps! And we attend some special events too.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Too expensive for the value. Local gyms are $10 per month. The value would be much higher if there was an outdoor pool instead of a splashpad

We would also like to the yoga classes not include the Hindu Chopra’s as the YMCA is a Christian organization and we do not agree with this messaging. Religious rituals should not be incorporated into any of the exercise programs. Outside of this we love the experiences our kids are having at the YMCA, many of which will be lifelong memories

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Hello,

I recently joined the Y and have been very pleased. The main things I like:

The cleanliness of the facility. I use the gym, locker room, and sauna and I am impressed with the cleanliness. It also is good to see employees actively cleaning the facility through the day. Makes a big difference and is so different than the cleanliness of other large gyms. Please tell those employees that what they do makes a big difference. Management is doing a good job in making this happen too.

Employees are very friendly. This makes a big difference.

The Biblical quote in the gym. It is nice to see the Biblical quote presented on the gym wall. It speaks to the Y’s roots and that the Y is not just another gym, like a Planet Fitness. There is a spiritual component. It gives the Y a wholesome disposition and I don’t want the Y to lose this. I think there should be more of these Biblical quotes. The messages influence the atmosphere very positively.

Recommendations:

Clocks in the sauna and steam room.

More treadmill options. Specially an “assault runner pro” type treadmill. This is the kind you power by running. There is something similar in the functional fitness room but it squeaks when you use it and I think it is actually broken. Also, the current treadmills seem a little old.

Taking steps to ensure the aquatic center doesn’t close down for such an extended time as it did recently.

Enforcing the no street shoe in sauna/steam room rule. Members are walking in the sauna in their street shoes and it seems unsanitary.

Install a water fountain/station by the pool.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The yoga and pilates reformer classes are absolutely my favorite! I really appreciate having 8ish am classes so I can get in and out before starting my work day. Having a daily yoga option is greatly appreciated.
