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

Cleanliness. I have had a couple instances where I felt a bit harassed by staff. Was considering aqua aerobics. The cart with the aerobics equipment was by the slide so my grandson and I thought we would try them out. We both were doing great, but the lifeguard came over and told us we had to put them back. They were only for the ppl taking the class. I don’t agree with that. Although I understand they are not pool toys, another older woman was using them too. She had already left the pool. I think it was because my grandson was using them with me. Another instance was during basketball camp. You had an older gentleman that worked in the weight area. He approached me every visit and would not stop talking. I started to just ignore him while working out on the equipment. But when the boys were participating in the basketball camp, he yelled at my grandson and made him cry, This man was not even a part of the basketball camp. Why he was on the basketball court and humiliated my grandson was very upsetting. I did tell this man it was the job of his parents to teach him manners. Of course he approached me while I was in the stands watching and began talking. I could not escape him. I paid for a year and it baca me too uncomfortable to visit. I was hoping this time he would not be there and am paying monthly now just in case. This time around I had an older male staff come up to me after getting off the treadmill on the side of the basketball court asking me if I wanted the spray bottle and the one rag he was holding and already using. Looking at me like it was wrong to not clean it. I told him no thanks. There are no rags in those areas. And I am not using one that he has already been using. I felt like he was condescending.

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

The staff is friendly and I always feel comfortable working out. The track is wonderful anytime but really awesome to use when it’s too cold or too hot outside.
I’m a fan of the steam room. I haven’t been to a gym with a steam room. Nice perk!

We have found the Y a great place to enjoy both the early morning 24/7 room. Then off too many other activities from walking track, exercise stations and the courts. The pool. Hot tub , steam room and then off to the shower help start our day.

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

I really do love the Y and all of the services there. I love that they added new equipment but it’s so crowded upstairs that you can barely walk between the machines. And when you do, I feel like I’m almost in someone’s lap.
