Member Testimonials
I love attending the Y. I wish I could go more often. The water aerobics instructors are wonderful as well as the staff at the desk. I’m taking swim lessons now with Carla and Diane, and they couldn’t be better. I’ve never had even a marginal experience.

Everyone is so friendly and it's a good place to get to know other people my age. I can go in whenever I want and I'm so glad they have Pickleball!

great selection of machines
Very friendly helpful staff
I have private trainer. Love it.
The water aerobics at the pool are excellent.
I particularly enjoy classes taught by Janette. Unfortunately, right now the water is too cold for me so I am not going. I really miss my exercise. I wish you would open your pocketbook and heat the pool until the sun is able to warm it up which will probably take at least another month. Thank you.
I like that it is close and convenient and I have made many friends and we all meet up together to exercise and get together for other occasions. I also like that my insurance pays for my plan and it keeps me better fit.

Good people, good times.

I love that people are not pretentious and that all ages and sizes and shapes attend this Y. Since I am an avid swimmer, I am especially appreciative of the friendliness of the guards and other regular swimmers. I feel like I am a part of a "tribe" and gives me a sense of belonging.
