everything
The weight lifting equipment options available. I have everything I need but for a couple more "fly" machines. There is now only one (there were two during Covid) and great demand for that machine.
You did not ask what I do not like but I wish to share that I would prefer if cell phones were prohibited in all weight lifting areas. Way too many YMCA users sit on an apparatus I want to use and stare at their cell phones. For someone like me who likes to do super sets, it is bothersome to have to ask someone to move and, in most cases, they can't hear my request because of the ear buds they use. Most important, constant use of cell phones and connection to social media is contrary to YMCA values related to personal health and fitness. Research is showing that constant connection to social media and the WWW is detrimental to mental health. The constant attention to email and texting is addictive and diminishes people's pleasure/pain centers. Every look at the phone triggers a dopamine hit to the point that that health stimulus is wearing out.
Great Place, lots of different and various activities.They should have something for everyone.
Great staff! Nice facility and lots of worthwhile programs for all ages.
I like the location (close to my home). I like the size, not too big. Love the classes and instructors. Most of my friends go to the Y.
Friendly staff clean facilities and so much more!
Lots of exercise space, types of equipment, cleanliness, friendly staff, hours of operation.
I LOVE-LOVE- LOVE my water aerobics class. Marty is absolutely an amazing instructor.
Family friendly atmosphere, clean facility, open to all
I love the "family" I have found in my M,W,F bootcamp/Edge class. Such a supportive and inspiring group of people. I also appreciate the steam room/sauna to complete my wind down before showering and starting my day. I would love to have options for a lowered guest pass to allow for more sampling, or bringing a friend along to class when visiting.

It is a beautiful facility with great people and services
The variety of classes, helpful advice from instructors to protect joints and prevent injury & the friendly atmosphere. I especially enjoy the dance classes and would like to see more of them, e.g. Jazzercise and also lower impact dance.
My husband uses the pool several times a week, although he won't be while it is being repaired. I have used the walking track and we have both used the weights area. The Tom Taylor facility is light and airy and there seems to be activity constantly.
classes and instructors
Friendly place with lots of classes and exercise opportunities for all ages. There’s a real sense of community there.

I love coming to the Tom Taylor Y: I use the facility about 3-4x per week. It is friendly, feels like a personable community, and always feels welcoming. The only complaint I have is that the Zumba Gold class with Naomi has been canceled. I participated in Naomi's class for about 5 years and benefited from her instruction and concern for her participants. Hopefully, Zumba Gold will return. Other than that; the area range of activities and programs to select.
My most enjoyable parts of going to the Tom Taylor YMCA is the complete visit. From the moment I walk in I am greeted with how are you today or welcome. The facility is clean well organized and maintained. I typically go four or five days per week and have done so for the last five years. When I leave I am almost always encouraged to have a good day and get to read a quote and bible verse on my way out. How could I ask for more?
Very helpful and courteous staff. Very clean facility.
