What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like that the staff is friendly and competent. The two Jenns are excellent instructors!
The group exercise schedule seems lopsided to me as there is only one format of group strength training and it isn’t appropriate for everyone.
There are no core classes, no foam roller classes and not enough yoga and cycling classes. Also weekend schedule is minimal.
We need more classes and more than one group x room. We could make good use of the smaller room down the hall (not the gym) if it was well equipped and kept clean.
I love that the workout area with the equipment does not have endless TVs. So distracting!

I like my personal trainer. There are several movement classes that could benefit my legs. Right now work some with Anissa. Absolutely superb.

But there is more. I enjoy the atmosphere and the positive environment.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Pretty much anything you want however canceling classes such as Spin in the off season punishes the year round members who support the Y all year long. Such as getting rid of 9:30 am Spin Classes punishes people who don’t get up at dawn.
