What do you like about our programs and activities?

All the instructors are amazing: Leslie, Judy H., Judy F., Eva, Jean B., Jan B. Their classes are very challenging and fun!

Some of the studio rooms where the classes are held could definitely be cleaned a bit better especially on the baseboards and corners.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I usually sign up for all the spin, body pump and Yoga classes. The instructors are very good. I do, however, wish the amount of time to register for classes was back to the 36 hours prior process and not the new 24 hours process.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I just love the Les Mills classes held at the YMCA. You show up, have an instructor and you work for an hour, at the pace for you while getting an excellent workout. An hour a day 4 -6 times a week and you stay in shape!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I joined to be able to use the pool to walk in daily, and for the aqua classes.
I do find that the pool area is frequently messy--trash and debris (not natural stuff) in the filters at the edges, and since I go almost daily it seems like there are often 2 or 3 days in a row before the trash is cleaned out. Bandaids stuck to the walls, etc. If someone is actively cleaning the pool deck area, they'd see this.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

We love the Y!! One thing I will add is more signage to let people know they need to wipe equipment down after they use it. I’m just starting to get back to the gym after a long break, and I’m shocked how barely anyone wipes down the equipment after they use it. At least when I’m there that’s what I’m noticing. It didn’t used to be that way. I wonder if people just aren’t aware that’s an expectation. I only noticed a sign about it by the white machines. Maybe it would be help to have more easily visible signage.

Just a suggestion since you’re asking for feedback! Thank you so much for all you do!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I especially like the elliptical running machines which provide good heart excersize and are easy on the feet.
I am trying to get at least an hour of work out every day and enjoy the free coffee that is available for before and after workouts. I like the fact that a good variety of machines and weights are available for working out most all of my muscles.
The other people working out in the gym tend to be respectful to us older members and are often helpful when help is needed.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I really enjoy using the Pool and the workout area with the Treadmills and Nautilus equipment. The middle of the afternoon is a good time to work out because it's not very crowded.
