What do you like about our programs and activities?

The staff is always welcoming and accommodating. Lucy is a gem. Her thoughtfulness and smile are contagious. Darby sat on the floor with me in the locker room last October - my first bout with vertigo in 7 years and it slowly hit me on my way to the gym. She talked me into my first ambulance ride and first trip to the ER in my life. (I volunteer there so it wasn’t so bad and 2 IV’s of nausea meds that I couldn’t have done on my own helped a lot.)

Stanene has been an outstanding instructor and worth her weight in gold. Her expertise, caring manner, sense of humor, name/face recognition are amazing. Going to miss her and may leave Y until her return. On the fence.
I do like Deb and Rick as well…just not sure enough to stay.
It took nearly a year to recover from an injury I did on equipment. My fault - over zealous, but my nature and I’ll stay away from it.

I began with three friends and we have thoroughly enjoyed it. The classes are fabulous ways for people to socialize. Important, but volunteering, golfing and other endeavors keep me busy.

The Y has been great!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

While the current class offerings are strong, popular sessions like Zumba are frequently overcrowded. Expanding the schedule or adding alternative times would give members more flexibility and alleviate peak-hour congestion.
Thank you

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Great variety of classes
I do play tennis so sometimes I
cannot get to the classes I want to
try if they are at the same time.
Live Zumba and Drumming

One complaint: oversized trucks parking
in a regular car spot. The trail hitch sticks
out over the sidewalk when they back in, or sticks out
Into the road when they pull in straight!
They should be required to park in the field!!
It’s a safety issue.

I like having a personal trainer, JENN. She’s the best. She really works with me and for me to get the right program.

I also like the upstairs machines and I’m learning how to use the downstairs machine.
