Member Testimonials
Exercise classes
Socialization and meeting people
Great teachers and coaches. Love the class, learned a lot about water fitness, and the groups are great and very welcoming.
Ragsdale location has excellent staff overall.
Pool (especially refurbished) at Ragsdale Y is always clean and a good temperature.
One ongoing frustration (previously reported last year) is that the Silver Sneakers app does not recognize the First name removed Perry Ragsdale Y in Jamestown as offering the Splash program. Each time I go to it to log in my attendance at the Aqua Aerobics class Wednesday morning or schedule it, this Y is not an option and I have to click on High Point Y instead to move forward.
I love the water aerobic classes, I enjoyed the people in the classes that instructor and everything about it. I hope that it will stay the same after Justine leaves and that everything will be done as well as she did it.
Programs are consistent. Staff are friendly.
Certified instructors and positive attitude. Good variety of exercise aids and equipment. Zero to low impact on joints but excellent workouts that decompress and help spinal anomalies heal. Good emphasis on balance, strength training and endurance. Fun!
I would like to encourage greater effort to regulate and maintain water temperature higher than 84 degrees, which is a therapeutic MINIMUM, not a target maximum, especially for members with musculoskeletal disorders.
Kudos to all the lifeguards and Y Staff for their enthusiasm and encouragement.
Attention to individual needs.
On time.
Thorough on technique.
Clean facility, friendly staff, clean pool area, a lot of lifeguards on deck and the instructors are amazing.
