The linedancing. The coffee and tables to sit and talk. Friendly people at the desk.
Daycare on site. Zumba classes and swimming and all the exercise machines.
I like the way Tim and Jenelle help in the gym to get you though a workout when you really don’t want to do the work out. Both Carolina , Julia and Arezou always thank us for coming to their classes and treat us as friends. Lastly to Matt who will listen and try to handle any problems I have with the aqua classes. He will also go into the pool just to find out what Aqua Zumba is. Life is just a lot of fun with my friends at the Y as are the people who work there.
Plenty of variety for people of all ages, abilities, interests.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, instructors, trainers.
Love the programs, the staff and participants. Makes it fun to incorporate exercise into my life but wish you took Silver Sneakers.

In general, Northwest's customer service is always outstanding and the community and facilities in general are wonderful. I particularly enjoy that Northwest has Olympic Weightlifting rigs and equipment available to members. That's something very unique to Northwest compared to other Ys in the area. Thanks for the great workout!
I like the different classes that you offer and the teachers are really good. The pool is fun for my granddaughter but the water slide and mushoom should be on more often. Thanks.
