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

The Y is so clean! Most of the staff is very friendly. I’ve only had one experience with a staff member that was not positive. I know everyone has bad days. I won’t let that sway my “10” rating!

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

It would be nice to have mat tables in the gym area for stretching and strengthening. This would offer an option for those who have difficulty getting down on the floor.

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

I enjoy the evening classes that are offered by trained personal. There is always enough equipment ie, weights, mats etc. for all members in the class. The instructors always offer a modification style that suits anyones physical capabilities.

I would like to see fans installed in the TRX room. And for that room to have it's own thermostat. It has been really hot in the room on the days when it's been hot outside. It needs it's own zone thermostat. If so, maybe consider reinstalling the plexiglass and having a door. That way the A/C can be controlled for that room only. Not wasting energy as all the cooling would otherwise escape. FANS would help tremendously too. The floor fans that the instructors have to bring in each time, doesn't really do much to move the air around in the back of the room.
