What do you like about our programs and activities?

I enjoy the water aerobics classes. It’s great that they are offered Monday through Saturday and take place at a convenient time for me 9:00am (10:00 on Thursday). I also enjoy the Sit and Fit classes M-W-F. I have attended the Gentle Yoga- especially with Nicole on Monday, as well as Tai Chi on Tuesday and Thursday. I like that the locker rooms are spacious and have enough lockers for everyone. They are kept generally clean,too. I am very happy that the Y has a whirlpool, steam and sauna, which I use after the water aerobics class.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like the wide array of classes. I think your hours are limited. Staff is nice, facility is clean. I don't know your numbers but I feel like you are too small or limited for the growth here, possibly expand or have another one as well. But I don't know enough about your actual numbers but that's what I think. I think it's a fantastic service for our community young and old. Also it seems like often the sauna, steam room or hot tub are out of service. I have belonged for more than 20 hrs. FANTASTIC all arount

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Yoga is okay although none of the classes should be titled as gentle yoga since they are all more moderate. This has been misleading to those who are at the level of gentle yoga as some struggle. I have been practicing yoga for 22 years so I feel qualified to give this feedback. Quarterly a basic yoga pose class should be offered so those new to yoga could get the right instruction.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Love the active adult classes. The new schedule with Jen teaching on Wednesdays and Fridays and Rose Mary on Mondays affords me the opportunity to take advantage of the classes three days a week. The classes offer meditation, strength exercises with weights, bands, and balls, balance exercises, and light aerobic workouts—everything I’m looking for in my exercise regimen.
