What do you like about your Woodruff Family YMCA Membership experience?

I love the staff. They are fun, friendly and gracious. I am an older adult so I only utilize the gym and some zumba classes. But EVERYONE is wonderful. The facility is always clean. And there is always someone around if you have a question and need help. Definitely an A+ operation

What could we do to improve?

The entire place basically except the workout room needs to be upgraded. Go check out Westport and Greenwich. Your membership would sky rocket!

What could we do to improve?

The men’s shower keeps running out of hot water. I am new to the club, when I asked how to use the TV on the elliptical machine four people tried ti help me and did not know how to use it.

What could we do to improve?

There needs to be more accessibility to lap swimming.
Increasingly more lanes are being occupied by classes, leaving fewer lanes and/or less time available for non-class lap swimmers to use. For example, currently, there is a triathlon class on Tuesdays from 7:30-8:30 leaving one lane, if at all. After the class, lanes are available but only for a 15 minute time slot which realistically makes no sense for anyone wanting to get any decent lap swimming done. I will not be driving down, changing my clothes only to swim for 15 mnutes, let's be real. Why not schedule these classes that allow for a realistic, practical amount of time such as 60 minutes at the VERY least, leaving at least 2 lanes during a class, at the VERY least. This week on Tuesday, it looks like there is virtually no lane available for non-class lap swimmers in the evening at all. What next? Fridays, are already (and have been) extremely limiting in pool usage and now Tuesdays are taken away. When does it end?

Personally, I pay my membership only to use the pool and it's really frustrating when that for which I pay for is increasingly getting difficult to access. I don't come in to use the gym. I don't need to pay $70+ to use a gym. I can do the same for $10 a month elsewhere. What I pay for is to use the pool. As someone with a full-time day job, I look forward to getting a solid amount of physical activity. But this is more than just a fitness routine, it's mental wellness. The pool is more than just a team sport warehouse, it is a source of health and wellness for many, not just myself,

What could we do to improve?

Replace the lower bike machines with some reliable, easy to use ones that don't require a degree in IT to adjust the viewing options or don't run out of time every time a user is changed.
(With all the Y spends on equipment, you should have a dedicated sales rep to adjust any needed situations on a weekly basis).

What could we do to improve?

The cost should be better differentiated; I am semi-retired - 60 and pay $106 a month for me and my son and then $70 an hour for personal training. For me I can join Joint Effort for $187 per month - unlimited and that is a personal training place. I don't use the pool and so I feel like I am paying for others people to use the pool. A lot of my friends over 65 pay nothing, and a lot of young families with children pay little to nothing.

What could we do to improve?

Have each workout area fully supplied with equipment and a variety of choices to meet all levels of people in the class and the type of class being held ( including lighting/lamps) so they are not being moved from workout room to workout room depending on which class is running.

The basement workout room desperately needs hooks and racks to organize the equipment neatly, so not lying all around the room on the floor or on the bikes.

A WiFi extender in the basement would helpful when teachers are trying to connect for their music. I have experienced several times when it was an issue and issues with the speaker itself.
