Cindy the Zumba instructor, the availability of the private fitness studio
I mostly just use the facilities. My daughter is enrolled in gymnastics currently and she loves it.
Great workout facility… clean & friendly staff! Great programs & Bob is great at front desk!
comfortable and informal. Quick check in at the front desk. I miss the towel service though!!
I love the kickboxing class and the new tai chi class. Great teachers and friendly staff.
Love the class selection for group exercise and the instructors are all great, very knowledgeable. The courts are especially nice for kids playing basketball and volleyball and we utilize the courts often. Great team sports for adults, middle school teams etc. Liking the updates to the weight room, cardio rooms overlooking the beautiful Chippewa River and that the group exercise location is no longer across the road.

The cleanliness of the facility and friendliness off the staff.
your staff
I come to the Y for swimming with the Tri/Lap group and to play ping pong. The Y keeps their pool in very good condition, and it is nice to be able to use a racquetball court for ping pong. The front desk staff are very friendly. The Y is kept very clean. The men's locker room is old but functional.
Very good aerobic instructors. They give you a good workout and are friendly and welcoming.
I love the location and unique architectural design. I feel like this location cares about families and isn’t blown by the wind of political BS.
Everything
I really like that all kids are able to go on the field trips, and that they are not just first come first serve. It's great that they are weekly, and have always been a good variety of fun events.
I am happy that swim lessons are an optional add on. It has been easier schedule-wise for us to have them attend during these sessions than after work or weekends.
My kids really enjoy going, and building relationships with both staff and new friends. They have always had positive things to say.
Swimming - spin classes - wts - cardio machines
I like the balance of educational activities and fun activities.

I love the enhanced fitness class with Missie as the instructor. I had a knee replacement a year ago and did rehab in the pool. I did not realize how much stronger I could become with the class and I'm really grateful. Missie was welcoming and always enthusiastic.
