What do you like about our programs and activities?

PTrainer Torrance is probably saving my life. His erratic schedule is frustrating. I could get many more people to train with him if he was tgere more regularly.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I use stationary bike and attend body pump classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:15. It works for me. Convenient times and bikes are usually available.
I wish someone would keep an eye on the tvs as many times closed captioning isn’t on or tvs have timed out and are off.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I take several group fitness classes. Instructors are excellent and professional.

It’s great that so many people use our facility - young and old. However I’m concerned that we have outgrown our space and I haven’t heard any plans for expansion. Meanwhile more and more housing, hundreds of homes, is being constructed literally all around us and I’ve heard realtors are even offering Y membership gifts.
So administrators, please let members know of any future plans for expansion. It’s pretty crazy during prime usage hours and the seasonal members (Jan - April) haven’t arrived yet.
