What do you like about our programs and activities?

Franz Ross Ymca has a cool vibe that can’t be found anywhere else. It’s like cheers where everybody knows your name from the desk to the trainers to the other members. Collectively, it’s a joy to work out from five in the morning till 9 PM. Everybody has a purpose and people are very directed towards their fitness goals it’s a bonus that they provide coffee and tea and sometimes there’s other treats at the coffee bar. We can always find out what’s going on in the community from other members or death staff, and if we need help with anything, they’re just a moment away the pool is lovely and it has a hot tub and steam room attached to the aquatic area. The locker rooms are adequate, and the exercise rooms are almost always full with classes and members enjoying the out of the day. Everyone should have a place like this to be. It’s very magical to be a part of the Franz Ross Ymca. There are members from infant age to 97 that work out, which is a testament to the staff.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I do love the AOA & other classes, the ease of checking in & the cleanliness of the locker rooms.
I don't attend classes as often as in the past because my favorites are so crowded!
Elaine's classes Monday, Wednesday and Friday are so crowded they feel dangerous. We run the risk of being hit in the head by other members arms!
It just feels uncomfortable & unpleasant to work out in that small room.The Tuesday and Thursday classes are usually okay.
Why can't those big classes be moved to the larger room? You might have former attendees returning!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love group exercise classes especially Jenn S’s Barre and Active Older Adult classes.

I also like that the gym is clean and tidy, equipment is in good repair, and a knowledgeable attendant is ready to answer questions.

The Bonita Y is also refreshing to me as it is in a natural area, trees all around, and a pretty view out the window from the gym. That’s a plus you rarely get at a gym.

Recently joined and so glad I did!
