Personal Approach - the instructors try to learn our name and call us out. They're just good people.
Also, just about everyone there is friendly.
Only thing I'd improve is to encourage families with kids to change in the family area.

I use the facility for swimming only and I like the friendly staff and the overall friendly attitude.
They match my goals and abilities or lack thereof. I am especially impressed by Severin who has expert knowledge of muscle systems and corresponding exercises. The facilitu itself is clean, well outfitted, and friendly. I am also pleased at the signs that welcome everyone and to see the greeters that have found a job that suits their talents and abilities.

I like many classes, zumba with Yin and Sophia, yoga with Jean, Anne, Brandy and the new Saturday morning yoga instructor, I forgot her name, and Jeanette's CxWork, and i loved Yue's classes, i am very sorry that she was kicked out. She was the best!
Also Melody's barre classes are great! I like the friendly staff, the congrnial atmosphere, the chance for people with disability to work there and be included and the great facility, clean, bright, spacious, convenient, friendly conversations in the locker room with other members!
