Great facilities and class variety!
Homeschool PE classes
The staff and the people. We use the pool a lot and really enjoy swimming.
I really enjoy the positive atmosphere, I like the changes that you are making with the weight room, and my only question is when the leaks are going to be fixed on the track where I walk mostly. But yes, I would recommend, and in fact have recently to two of my family members who are now going to bring their families.
The staff.
The pool
The employees are friendly. The atmosphere is positive.
everything but the leaky roof.
Staff is always knowledgable, helpful, and positive! I enjoy having a positive hello and goodbye from staff. Sets a positive tone every time I walk in.
The new weight room remodel was well done. New machines are appreciated.
Cycling instructor Debbie is great and really motivates all to do their best. Top notch!
The pool schedule provides lots of times for lap swimming and kiddo time in instructional pool.
Facility inside and out is very well maintained and clean with one notable exception, the ceiling leaks on the track have gone on forever! Why hasn’t this been fixed??? Are there ANY plans to address this???
Friendly people, clean environment, helpful instructors, close to home
It is a pleasant experience, seeing many people exercising, the people who work are very respectful, right now I give it a 10, I don't know I'll want to change my rating later.
Facilities foe positive active time with my family and for my health and wellbeing.
I do wish the programs had higher quality instruction- swimming and gymnastics particularly could improve on their focus on social emotional well being and understanding child development and needs. Children should enjoy being active, not be waiting for long periods. The instruction should be high quality feedback yet playful. They are both missing the playful part and often instructors do not have the skills for progressions feedback that leads to proper skill development.
My daughter absolutely loves both is these activities and would love to take there, but has been disappointed in the quality of her time in the programs. Neither is welcoming or understanding of kids who warm up to new people slowly. Both make judgements about skills too quickly and in front of the child that make a shy child back away. She is highly developed in these areas as I teach her, but I really wish that she enjoyed the y programs more. I believe this would be possible with quality instructor professional development such as the USA gymnastics kinder accreditation and red cross swimming programs or visits to other facilities to get ideas such as goldfish swim school who runs high quality swimming classes that are fun for kids.
If the focus is truly on social emotional well being this step is crucial to live up to this.
Good place to take kids to school
Smaller, feels more intimate or family like. Always state my name when checking in. Feels comfortable
The facility is always busy, but doesn't seem crowded. Staff is always very friendly and helpful.
Very nice gym pool workout areas clean, friend and have a large variety of equipment
Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Always greeted with a welcoming smile by staff members. Facility is bright, clean, and never appears to be crowded. Always easy to get a question answered. Always something to do depending on my mood for the day.
So many class options for the whole family and it's nice to have a child watch area but I wish the child watch was included in the monthly membership.
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Wide variety of workout machines. A newly remodeled weight room with new weight machines.
A variety of classes especially like the classes for older age groups. Can’t forget the pool, my favorite. Family friendly classes for the kids and child care for parents so they can get in a work out.
Great positive staff. Clean facilities.
Excellent equipment, helpful and friendly people. Clean and bright facilities.
The people, from the instructors to the friends i have made.
Friendly staff, clean & everything is very convenient
The entire building is very clean, the staff is always very helpful, my daughter is on preteam for Gymnastics and loves it. We moved from another gymnastics organization and my daughter could not be happier!. Thank you.
Staff are stellar! Gae and Jim are the ones I take classes from-they’re lovely!
The facility in general. Family changing areas are so nice! Use the track all the time and appreciate how it provides views of the activities throughout the building. New weight machines/areas are well done and there are enough machines to avoid long wait times.
The experience, the staff and the fellow members. It's our happy place!
Love the indoor walking track
You all seem more "comfortably" with a diverse membership than Sumner😕🫤. I feel as comfortable at Mel Korum as I do at Lakewood Y. Have not regularly attended the Y since Covid but the online classes are a good option.
