The cleanliness of the facility
The fitness classes, such as guts and gluts, Brazilian dance class, and spinning
I like the track a lot. I like to walk and I get bored on the treadmill easily. The track allows me to have lots to look at and I end up walking for longer.
I like the accessibility of the 24 seven room to fit my schedule. The classes and Amenities offered provide activities for people with multiple interests to stay active for a healthy lifestyle.
All the amenities and the cleanliness of the facility. Also the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.

In our current society it is hard to spend time as a family, but the YMCA is perfect for all ages. Our family loves the water area.
Everyone is very helpfulFrom lowering the backboard for my daughter, two showing us around.
I have currently returned to Dow Area Family Y since Covid19. I am happy to see family, friends, co-worker's and the friendly Y staff when I am there. Keep up the good work!
Great place to do things with the entire family. Offers many types of activities year round.
I feel the YMCA is a great place to work out. The hot tub, sauna and steam room are certainly a plus. I enjoy the classes that are offered daily.
It is very family friendly too....

Joining the Y has been one of the best things that I have ever done for myself and my family. It is a safe, clean, and welcoming place for me to go workout. I love the indoor track! The Y has all of the strength training equipment that I could ever need and so many options for cardio. The other members are also friendly which helps more with motivation than I think anyone realizes. All around, just a great place!
hours getting back to normal
Very clean facility with lots of options.
Just about everything!! Biggest thing is the overall cleanliness of the entire facility. From the exercise floors, pool area, to the locker rooms, always in fantastic condition.
So why not a perfect 10 you ask?? 2 little things...
1 - Disappointed in the number of upright bikes available. This is my primary reason for coming. There's now only 4 upstairs scattered around the track. I enjoy these sometimes to watch a basketball game or something while working out, but now none of them are in the main area between the racket ball courts and weight floor where you can view all the TV's. I enjoyed the Audio Fetch App and multiple TV's to switch between. With current setup, this is no longer an option. There are TONS of elliptical options through out the facility, and the majority of them are never in use. Also a good number of recumbent bikes, but lets be honest. How many people have a upcoming race there training for on recumbent vs. a traditional upright? I understand the ergonomics are different for users with back issues, etc.. They are needed for sure. I do appreciate that the 4 upright bikes are now updated to the new versions, but I find I have to wait to use one, and there not in my desired location.
2 - Maybe just have the staff monitor the language of the after school teens that are playing hoops. I enjoy watching these youths improve there game and being active vs. playing video games. I personally don't get offended by there sometimes language, but there are lots of younger kids around.
Love the pool and walking track the more st
The Y is a great facility. I like all of the different options there are for working out. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
My husband and I love Bay Area family Y… great people and programs!
