Member Testimonials
I like the evening water aerobics.
Very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable staff.
Exercise classes
I love the instructors namely Barbara and Leanne and I love their classes. I’m happy with the equipment but obviously wish we could have a new facility.
I have been a member of the Y for many years because of the number of activities and flexibility of classes available. I love the group
Classes and most of all the water aerobics available for us señor people that have a number of aches and pains to deal with. I am thrilled that you have open classes now instead of having appointments. It made it hard to attend when classes were already full.
So thank you for that.
Also appreciate your lower fees which make it easier to attend on our small budget!!

I do water aerobics. Like to workout hard to get my heart rate up. The instructors make it so you can do any level. Like the workout times.
I like being able to use the facility on my schedule and that there are classes that work with my schedule. Also, it’s one of the cleanest, friendliest places. The staff are friendly and informative, especially Ms Groome.

EVENING WATER AEROBICS CLASSES... feel free to add more days, like we used to have.
Lots of variety and great instructors.
All the Y's classes are top notch. Barb Manson's slow flow yoga is the best yoga class I've ever taken! And, your fitness center is so well set up with all the best machines. The new treadmills are great.
