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

I love the Y. The app is terrible. Logs me off all of the time. I like the cycling classes but the bikes are now too close together. Maybe use the space better for cycle classes, after all that's what they are for, and maybe move them for the combined classes or do those classes upstairs.

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

I love that when I enter the facility it always feels as if I’ve traveled out of Bay City. I love the track, the equipment, the people that are there when I visit at 4am are all hard workers and provide a phenomenal atmosphere for working hard, smiles, small talk in between sets. I especially love the steam room,hot tub, sauna and the shower space. I’m super greatful for the 24hr gym for allowing me to get warmed up and perform some workouts before the gym opens. All in all I’m very pleased every day I visit. Thank you

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

I love the group exercise classes. You have amazing and dedicated instructors who make the classes challenging but fun (Christine, Jeff, Heidi). I have made many new friends in the classes. Having the 24-7 room has been a blessing too. I use it in the early am before the Y opens and that fits my busy work schedule very well. It allows so much flexibility in our work out schedules. I think you do a great job maintaining the YMCA. It always looks nice. When people complain that an area is closed for refinishing the floors or painting etc., I remind them that we are fortunate that the Y is upgrading and improving things. A shout out to Lindsey in the am at the desk. She is awesome!
I do have 2 concerns. The TRX room is way too small for the number of people who are crammed in that room. The straps are placed too close together and need to be spread out. It is ridiculously hot and stuffy in that room and we need at least 2 or 3 oscillating fans. We also need more dumb bells upstairs (like the ones you added to the aerobic room). There is only 1-2 sets of 10# weights for the entire class and for the floor. We need 10#, 12#,15# dumb bells. Thank you for listening.
