I love the amount of classes that are appropriate for me. There are so many options and the people at the Y are awesome. I particularly love Shannon Pitcock. Her classes are the best I have ever taken. She makes it fun and I look forward to attending them.

I enjoy the social aspect of the experience along with the physical portion.

The instructor is very helpful to ensure we know not just what we are doing but also the why we are doing it (balance to prevent falls, etc.).

Staff are amazing facility is well kept. There are a few things down here and there now and then but they do the best they can to get them fixed and back up running. The classes are phenomenal I have never been anywhere where there were so many classes offered all at the same time. I would definitely recommend this place anybody that was looking for that Community vibe. Not the typical gym setting where people make you feel uncomfortable this is definitely a place that is inviting and welcoming.

Sharon has been an amazing personal trainer! She referred me to Josh, when she went away for the summer, and he also fantastic- I’m so happy to be training with him. He personalizes every session. (As Sharon did).

I have made some nice friends at the YMCA pool and the life guards are great.

I also appreciate the work done to the showers in the ladies locker room. Now I wish they would get the swimming suit machine fixed. It seems to go out a lot. There was an issue before with a woman who dried all kinds of clothes in the machine and it always seems to have problems.

I love Pickleball in the gym! It feels like a social event whenever I am there playing PB. The Egym machines are a great addition and help me get stronger without thinking too much. The front desk always greets me and makes me feel like part of a wonderful inclusive family. The childcare room is a great for parents or grandparents who want to access the Y but have younger ones in their care. The new teen hangout seems busy and popular. You can tell the kids are safe and happy while being active and making new friends. The Y is clean and in spite of all the sweaty bodies there, doesn’t smell like a gym or workout place. The level of activity is great and you get a sense of families and adults of all ages coming to one location to be active in whatever way they choose. Something at the Y for everyone.

Ease of use/access, the staff is always friendly and helpful, the facility is generally very clean.
The only issue is in the frequent breakdown of equipment (especially the treadmills) and the time they are out of operation. I attend early morning weekdays, and there are often times a wait for one to become available. Also, I use wired headphones and some of the machines don't support that.

I joined the Y 6 yrs ago when I retired. It has a wonderful group of people. They have a great program for older retired people such as myself and the instructors and trainers are very knowledgeable. It is also great place for older people to socialize and make friends. Everyone staff and members are all very friendly.

Friendly staff, excellent selection of equipment, knowledgeable trainers, plus classes in yoga, dance exercise, etc, not to mention the new EGYM or the pool which hosts a swim team, pool exercise classes, and regular swim lanes. What's not to like?
