What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

The people who work at the Y are so friendly. The facility is very clean. I love the pool for Aquatics classes. The track is a great alternative for cold weather exercise.

What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

We have experienced the basketball program for a few years now and Carley is AMAZING. She’s responsive, understanding, and works well with her coaches and their schedules. I am also a client in their personal training program and Caroline has done great things for me. While helping me learn the machines and build muscle, she has also given me the confidence to hold my head high while at the gym. I used to be nervous and even embarrassed but Caroline has made that all better and I enjoy working with her multiple times a week.

What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

I like the convenient proximity to my work. I wish I could get here early and figure out how to get ready for work at the Y so I wouldn't need to come after work, but it's ok. I like being able to work out in the 24/7 area. I am easily intimidated by people who lift a lot of weight, and I do not so spend time in the 24/7 and then walk the track. The staff is very friendly, and I really like that. They seem to know me even though I'm sure they do not, they say hello and goodbye. It makes me feel welcome. I like that the Y is clean and I don't worry about "catching" anything. The men's lockers need to be freshened up, maybe some paint or ... some are pretty rusty on the bottom, and I work as a professional and am cautious when I put dress pants/shirts in the lockers. I guess most of all, I feel like I am a part of something that helps the community even when I I don't utilize the Y for a week or more, I know that my membership is helping those less fortunate. I see the kids after school, working out, playing basketball, getting a bite to eat, and maybe getting a hot shower. My boss's son and daughter play basketball there and I enjoy watching them play.

What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

I enjoy the clean facilities and the friendly staff! The only issue that I have (and it is a very small one) is the fact that I tunred in multiple suggestions to replace the foot straps on all 3 roiming machines, because when I am rowing my feet slip out every time and I have to stop multiple times during my workout to readjust the strap. Beyond that small issue the Y is a fantastic place to work out!! I look forward to going there!

What do you like about your Dow Bay Area Family YMCA experience?

The Y is open to all of us as a family. If my kids are there practicing for a sport, we can stay and use our memebership to excercise. If we are there excercising, the kids can use the Kid Zone, play basketball, swim, or just hang out.
