What do you like about our programs and activities?

Promote HANDBALL vs. pickleball. You have 2 great HANDBALL courts and not enough players.

New workout machines are nice, but placed a bit too close to each other.

Staff is nice.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

They are all wonderful and high quality. All employees are extremely competent, caring and friendly. I have been a member of a huge, expensive, “luxury” chain gym in chicago (Lifetime) and believe our LWR YMCA programs and activities are even better than theirs. It really comes down to the staff. Whomever is hiring. These individuals truly is looking for individuals that are dedicated and passionate about their job. This is even true of all the young students that are working. My children are regularly in the Kids center and have been in camps and I continue to rave about how organized and friendly and just overall happy employees are and how they interact with the children. Brady, and twins Alyssa and Katlin (I think are their names) along with ballet teacher Raffaela are always so personable and happy to see my 4 yr old daughter, even though she isn’t perfect and needs lots of love and attention. We are very proud and grateful for our YMCA.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The group exercise classes are my favorite. Cynthia is the best for Pilates and probably any other class. Some instructors while good are very boring in thier routines.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I enjoy the group fitness classes. I do wish that more intense workouts were offered over the weekend, but I can usually make the ones at 530 during the week. Everyone is very nice.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I enjoy several pool classes each week. Joyce and Noah are both really great instructors. Also, attend Chair Yoga classes. Jim is a good instructor and when he is out of town Annisa usually is the person that teaches. She does a really good job.

The front desk staff is always eager to help and answer questions. The "Y" has a way of encouraging and making you feel welcome.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Good trainers and a variety of programs.
There are 2 things I’d like to see.
1. Morning classes like Sit and Fit. Love the class but afternoon sessions aren’t convenient.
2. The floors in the classrooms could be corned more often.
Other than that I’ve enjoyed being a member
