It’s diversity.
Also - keep up with the latest ‘workout’ trends - and accommodating members interests.
I've been a member for 20+ years no complaints, except I miss the towels.
The aqua classes
Child watch and the people who work there are amazing, 10/10!
I like that I never have to wait for a machine. There are lots of people my age and I don't feel out of place. There are so many different classes to choose from. There is a bike rack right outside the entrance. I feel it's safe to lock my bike knowing that it can be seen by employees at the front desk. I love to swim and there always seems to be a lane with someone that swims a my pace.
Large, very clean facility, including the Men's locker room and steam room.
I enjoy being a member of this community. The staff are kind and helpful. I especially like the group exercise classes, steam room and sauna

What do I like about the Y? - Everything! ;-D
I attend four group senior exercise classes a week. I enjoy both instructors: Jackie & John. Great classes. Good workout and it is fun. I also spend 10 plus minutes either before or after the group classes on the weight machines just outside the gym. Lots of different options at the YMCA.
I have taken several classes that I love. I had a trainer set up a workout plan for me. All of the staff members are both helpful and pleasant. I plan on continuing to use the Y several times a week. After three weeks, I have yet to see muscular changes, but I do have faith that they will come 😊
The pools & water aerobic classes
The pool is super clean the lockers are clean and the showers are too only some people cut their nails and leave them there it is disgusting
Diversity of classes. Quality of instructors.
Very helpful. Instructor Wadley was very knowledgeable and the kids had a great time making their swimming better
Friendly, generally easy to use facility but need more senior exercise and aquatic classes.
Very helpful staff with sign up . great sign up system in place for exercise group classes on the app. Very clean !! Thanks to all who make it such a nice place to visit and stay healthy.
Everything!
Pool availability and the work out area
I really enjoy swimming in the pool.
There's still a very large sense of community there, even after 30 years of membership.
Keep up the good work...
Sense of community.

Overall good experience. Thank you.
I have a 4-year old daughter and there does not seem a lot she can do in the Park Street Y besides the family swimming. It would be nice if we can have more family swimming time slots.
I also regularly play squash with my 8-year-old daughter. However, what we have in the Y is a Hard-Ball Court, which is not the international standard size. There is a grant to convert a racketball court to an international sized squash court. Please check here: https://ussquash.org/racquetball-conversion-fund/
This page claims that after the grant, "The cost can be as little as $10,000-$15,000 per court!" I am wondering if the Y is interested in such a conversion. I am willing to chip in if the Y considers this and also I can ask around in the Y squash players community if anyone is interested in contributing to this fundwise.
Thank you.
