I love enjoyed the gentle stretches of chair yoga. It has helped my back

So, I’ve been going to Josh’s Zumba classes for over a year and really love his classes. And I don’t think it was very fair of you guys to put another Zumba class at the exact same time as his on Saturday mornings.

Thanks for your time.

I have been meeting my daughter at 6:30pm Friday evenings to workout in your weight room. It’s also teen night. I thought what a great idea, somewhere safe and wholesome for teens to come together on a Friday night, however last week as we looked around the kids were just running wild everywhere, yelling, climbing up back stairwell wall and it seemed there was no rules, no order, no structured activities that they were engaged in. My daughter looked at me and said “this is an accident waiting to happen”. She used to work at the YMCA Bremerton and never remembered that kind of chaos there.
Fast forward to last night when we were all of a sudden told we were in lockdown and to go immediately to the gym. Most of the kids were in there when we got there but soon they all started running out of the gym to the front of the Y. We couldn’t hear a thing so assumed lockdown was over and started to leave as well. But then the front staff started pushing them back into the gym and we got stuck in the middle in the hallway with kids pushing out, kids being pushed back in and it made for a real uncomfortable situation. Finally back in the gym the kids were so noisy you could not hear anything the staff was trying to tell us. We had no idea if there was a lost child or if there was an active shooter. I still don’t know what the reason for lockdown. Your staff had very little control of these kids in a very uncomfortable situation with no ability to make announcements because the kids were being so loud. As I looked around I realized the only thing we could do was sit and wait so we found a semi safe spot on the bleachers (figured we could always drop down between them if there was a shooter). Finally they let us out and we were escorted to get our stuff in the weight room by the sheriff. We never did hear any direct communication from your staff (due to noise level), and that’s shameful.
I think teen night could be a great idea but there needs to be structure, rules, some sort of order, but most of all a plan in an emergency situation to control these kids. From my point of view your staff was trying but they were completely ill equipped to handle the situation.

Castor’s kickboxing classes

Please change up the schedule so that Castor can teach Tuesday or Thursday evenings right now it’s the same teachers all the time

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE OLD EQUIPMENT WILES BACK!!!! <3

I work with Personal Trainer Helen Steiger two times a week. Often we work on the 2nd floor in the area that used to be for stretching. The areas extremely hot. The windows need to have shades and circulating fans on the walls. It would make the area much more comfortable to work out.

30% of population is allergic to scents. 20% are extremely allergic.

STOP using scented soaps and wipes—you're poisoning people.

There are so many great classes and programs for kids!

I love this Y! I can tell the management and it's instructors really cares about it's members.

I am really really hoping the wipes that are now by the elliptical and rowing machines will not be the norm... the scent is unbelievably strong and unbearable. I immediately had to throw them away, wash my hands and find alternative wipes to use on the machine I had just used. Please keep the wipes y'all have always used!

This is feedback specifically for the swim instructors at Haselwood on Tuesday evenings. Most of the young male swim instructors are goofing off with each other, splashing each other, and talking. It is very disconcerting as a parent to be sitting here and know that the swim instructors are distracted and not giving the kids 100% of their attention. If they're going to mess around and not stay on task then they shouldn't be in the pool at all.

Name removed love classes, the dance classes, the fight classes and cardio/ strength classes. The staff is friendly. 9 of 10. Name removed dont like a basket/ shelf in the men’s shower that’s been busted for at least 2 weeks. It’s an accident and lawsuit waiting to happen. Art classes and cooking classes for adults would be awesome.

Evening RIPPED classes
Adult Hip hop class

Friendly staff.

Well maintained code lockers

Please give Randi more spin classes! She is so amazing every time she subs for one of the Tue/Thurs 9:30 class.

Also, consider getting unscented soap for the bathrooms. A large number of people are allergic. Spreading germs by not being able to wash hands is a big concern.

Clean facility with so many options and an exceptional staff

My son always has fun going and is really showing a lot of improvement. Thanks!

We have really enjoyed our experience here. They are thorough with each student and they have done a great job to promote confidence in my girls.

The lessons are well-paced with a very fun atmosphere! It is a great introduction to water for little ones.

Excellent team, the pool is extremely clean and the ambience is magnificent

The instructors interact well with the young students. And all the kids look forward to slide day!

Family oriented. Meets a variety of our family's needs for activities and recreation.

I took Adult swim lessons with Cindy. I felt very comfortable from the get go. She was accepting of each individual level and taught from that point.
I appreciated her style of teaching.
My only suggestion is having a second instructor when levels are so different. We had Sierra as a sub and she was trained someone. They were also both great. It felt more equal and beneficial with 2 instructors.
My children have taken 2 swim lessons and they have both loved it. Their instructor was also patient and made the class fun for them.

Yes

The feedback email the instructor sent to me by email this time, letting me know what areas my daughter needs to improve and which class they recommend I register for my daughter. It was very helpful.

The instructor was very interactive and kind to the kids.

Always positive friendly staff ready to hear from the parent even if they only have a minute of time. They are amazing with the kids and you can tell they really care about the safety of them.

The classes are a good size. All the instructors are patient and kind with little ones. And there is gentle introduction to avoid water fear.

I love how kind and knowledgeable the instructors are with my kids.

He loves swimming

Elli is amazing with all the kids and hope to have our child attend her next class. Gold standard teacher.
