swimming pool and table tennis
Lot of good changes happened recently.
I don't use any of your programs or activities - they are not scheduled for times that work for me. I like having the "instructional pool" available from my preferred timeslot of 7:30-9:00 am - that's when I do my own individual workout. Your swim workout programs are offered way too late in the day - 10:00 is far too late. Need to do a swim workout and be done by 9:00. Your programs are of no use to me or my husband I'm just there for the facility to enable me to do my own workout.
The exercise programs, the weight training and swimming pool
I really enjoy the EPA Y. If I may make a few suggestions:
- Please extend your hours on Sat and add Sunday hours. Many other Y's have longer weekend hours than the EPA Y and it would be great if you did too.
- Please make some cleaning supplies (paper towels and a spray cleaner) available in the outdoors workout area -- more than a few times, I have found sticky residue of some sort on the workout equipment there.
- If/when you have a workout monitor in the weight rooms, please advise them to be more forthright about telling patrons not to slam the weights (the Leg curl for instance gets a lot of rough use that over time has been visibly wearing it down).
I like it when I arrive and I am known by name.

Love all the machines and different areas for working out. In addition, your gym is able to have 3 pickleball courts.
My only critique would be in the other YMCA the staff set up the pickleball nets. That would really be a nice touch. The gym is dedicated to pickleball certain days and times. Having the nets up and ready to go would be greatly appreciated.
Something for everyone
Very good consumer service
I attend the water aerobics classes and enjoy them very much.
Options
Many choices
Interactive, fun, engaging, and valuable.
Systematic approach to teaching swimming
Patient instructors who are good with kids
Gym and covered swimming pool is good.
Pool need to be heated on my last two trips I feel cold water, I checked with life guard but they don’t know it’s heated water or not.
Aerobic water classes are great. However, having a different teacher each week for adult swim lessons doesn't work. Consistency is crucial for learnlng.
I like the substitute instructor Heather! She is really awesome for leading an interesting and interacting swim Lesson for a toddler starter! Hope more classes from her!
Friendly staff, clean facilities
I love the Zumba/dance classes!
Just want to say Thank you to Larry (fitness) and Elena (zumba gold). They are amazing teachers. First name removed
The group exercise program is well rounded and classes are almost always taught by good instructors. Our family uses group exercise classes, wellness room equipment, and the stretch room at the end of the hallway.
Especially love swimming in the beautiful pool, and really appreciate expanded schedule (open 6 days a week and weeknights until 7:00) to be able to keep up with mind and body fitness.
Thank you!
Desperately hoping the EPA Y evening pool hours will continue through the winter, to accommodate community members who work during the day and are not able to swim in an indoor pool.
Good facilities, friendly staff, convenient location.
