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.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I am addicted to the pilates reformer classes as I find them challenging but not overwhelming by being too difficult to achieve the desired workout! The trainer is awesome and very attentive to all of the participants in the class. I would like to add that some TRX classes would be an added incentive for more husband and wives to join together to work out in a class setting. The only negative I have is that this Y has the MOST expensive price for their pilates classes and my cost for these classes have doubled since I started here! 🥲

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I appreciate the classes that include older people and those not able to take the more strenuous classes.

The workout equipment and instructors are great.
Could use one more rowing machine sometimes.

Would appreciate taller toilets in the women's locker room.

The instructors I am familiar with are really great.

I personally enjoy the lending Library.
