The Tuesday and Thursday 0800 class with Lori.
I love the sauna situation with the hot tub and the steam room in a separate area. well done!
I enjoy the pool for lap swimming, and the high quality strength training and cardio equipment.
Excellent class. I feel my child gained great experience in this class. Instructor was great. It was a bonus that he ended up with 1:1 lessons several times due to others not attending class. I am happy with how my child has excelled with his swimming.
Scheduling of programs, variety
Miss Kayley was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and reassuring. this was my toddler's first swim lesson class and she looked forward to it every week!
Field trips and swimming were big hits. All the crafts available for free time were also well liked.
The teachers and staff are great. My kids stay busy and have fun all summer when it’s very easy to get in a slump and just want to “lay around” all day! We are so appreciative to have this program offered every year!
I like the walking track and swimming pool.
Great facility, great selection of equipment and available spaces. Keep up the good work!
Instructor was very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Great experience.
Great swimming instructor!
Field trips and so many different activities to keep the kids busy and having fun
The instructors were very goof and patient with the kids.
I have been enjoying all of the aquatics classes at the Downtown YMCA. The teachers help the students maintain and build muscle through fun exercises. I love everything about the downtown YMCA pool classes!
There is a variety of classes offered at convenient times, open to all fitness levels. The instructors are professional, friendly and welcoming.
I like that the counselors were all willing to take time individually to spend with my child. I liked the field trips that were arranged for the kiddos and how diverse the activities were. I truly felt my child was well cared for every day when I dropped him off. Thank you all for all you do!
I like that some classes are free with membership as an option. I like the largeness of the downtown Y, making me free to do my own thing.
My child actually learns something
Zumba and foam roller. Instructors Juene, Cindy, Cinrhia, Jen S. and Lauren are great. Love the fans. The room is kinda dingy. Need a new Y to replace this one. Parking is awful, especially when there are kids' things like basketball and swimming, and it is dark. Is scary by the homeless shelter. I don't like walking to my car in the dark down there.
Knowledgeable, friendly staff and excellent equipment.
Iris loved camp!! She loved all the teachers, the swim lessons, and the field trips. Thank you for a great summer.
We are so lucky to have the YMCA Summer Camp here in Eau Claire. My two children love their instructors and have thoroughly enjoyed the weekly field trips. They transition so easily back to school in the fall since they have been in a class-like setting all summer. I have so much appreciation for the administrators and staff who make this happen!
We drive 30+ miles one-way to swim laps, and it is so worth-it. The pool and locker room are clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The life guards and staff are friendly and competent. Every visit to the ‘Y’ feels good for our health and adds to our sense of well-being.
The staff for water aerobics are so friendly!! They appear to live their job!! Their smiles are contagious !!! I really do hate to exercise - and they make it happen!! Other leaders I have encountered this summer-appear to not like what they are doing!! Not Y employees!
I'm mostly a table tennis and gym user. I'm happy that there are locations in Menomonie now, too. I notice the effort that goes into maintenance and upkeep, and I appreciate that, too.
I love the variety of sports offered for all ages. I love the private fitness studio and the vibe plate. Child watch is such a huge blessing. If it weren't for that offering alone, I would rarely be able to go to the gym for myself.
Love water programs. Would like to see water Zumba added also.
There is such a wide variety of programs offered and the ymca is open early every day and offers extra time to attend all of the programs that I enjoy.
I love the aerobics and aquatic dance pool classes. The leaders are wonderful.
