Excellent equipment, helpful staff, and clean facility.
I love Marie Jager's classes and attend all of them regularly. Her knowledge, personality, and focus on health and overcoming problems of aging and osteoporosis meet my needs and help me remain very active. I think that without Marie, I might not continue my Y membership.
Other staff members have been very helpful to me over the years, especially Andrea Wilgar, John Milstead, and Rachel Young.
The Weight Loss Challenge program helped me lose 40+ pounds 10 years ago and to maintain that loss. It was life-changing.
I have made many friends at the Y and feel closer to the Saratoga area community as a result. When I go to the library and shop for food and other things I run into acquaintances from the Y, which connects me to the city and neighbors.
I do swimming and some cardio, and stretch.
