I absolute
I liked that we were able to reserve a racquetball court. When I called the person that answered, didn’t think that was a possibility but when he checked into it, he found out that it was an option.
We love the indoor kids gym and the shallow pool for our son and daughter.
The youth programs, such as gymnastics and swimming, are so positive about whole person support, progress and progression, and healthy level of competition. No other venue comes close.

I highly recommend the Fit and Fitness class with Missy on M-W-F to anyone. I am so thankful for that class and also the Yoga class with Ellie on Monday. Thanks to the Abby Vans for transporting me to the "Y" . I have made so many friends in those classes. I am so very lucky to have the "Y" in my life. The "Y" is my HAPPY PLACE!! I have lived in Eau Claire for about 65 years and my family and I have belonged to the "Y" for most of those years. My children have taken dancing, gymnastics, basketball, swimming, attended Camp Manitou etc. etc. Thanks for the memories!.
