What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love the change & new app to reserve classes. I believe it gives everyone an equal chance of reserving a class of their interest. The rearranging of some of equipment is no bad, different & good.

GOOD JOB! WAY TO GO.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I personally love your classes. I have been taking line dance and Dynamic Dance classes for over ten years. Charles Reynolds and Margaret Grubbs both do an excellent job as instructors. Lynn Marcuse also works very hard to fill in when necessary. All three of them make everyone feel welcome and valued.
I was very happy to find I could add my partner onto my membership. He likes to work out on the machines. We both enjoy using one of your empty rooms to practice our ballroom dancing.
I want to add that all of your staff members are extremely friendly and caring. They go above and beyond being helpful and accommodating everyone's needs.
Many wonderful friendships have been made at the Y. I don't ever want to live in this community without Franz Ross YMCA!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like the Zumba Gold,it would be great if there was a class on Fridays also like there used to be. Also use the fitness room, it would be nice to put up some signs telling people not to just sit at the machines looking at their phones. As other people want to use it also. Thanks

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I’ve talked to others in my Active Older Adults Class and they all agree — they really like that our current instructor is constantly instructing on the muscle groups we are working on and why, she provides options if you need them and varies the routine from session to session so it never becomes boring. She is so enthusiastic - it’s encouraging!
