Member Testimonials
Taylor stands out from other programs in the way that matters most- it's people. The staff are a well organized group who are empowered in their own unique ways to make the day to day fun and exciting for their campers. I love how there are a variety of activities where campers can level up as their skill sets improve throughout the summer. Counselors also create fun ways to keep the kids engaged with small games to earn counselor beads, spirit awards, highlight campers of the week and pie their favorite counselors. Their CILT program addresses the need for responsibility and fun for the older campers with field trips and group time outside of younger camper interaction. Taylor is absolutely unique and surpasses all other camps in our area, including other YMCA camps. The connection that counselors create with campers is exceptional, leaving a stamp on the heart that does not fade.
great camp, facility, and teachers. we will be going back every summer!
I like that there are a variety of classes and times to choose from.
I love that camp is a safe environment where the kids can learn skills and be independent.
The counselors make the experience of Camp Blazing Trails a must do for my kids every summer. Every time we try another camp, all they want is to go back to Blazing Trails. My son is even talking about how he wants to be a counselor when he’s older. This is our fourth summer and we will be back again next year!
I like the cardio balcony :)
Lots of equipment, lots of people, lots of staff
Clean, large facility, helpful staff.
I'd love to see more Pilates, Les Mills, and stretching classes.
I enjoy working out at Taylor. Good selections and great staff. Its main down side is the size of the rooms to hold all the machines. But we get thru it. I used the cardio balcony this last time for cardio then lots of core in that little gym area on the balcony.
I love how inclusive the environment is. Inclusive of all ages, races, and sexualities. I feel extremely welcomed and included.
Great experience. Nice environment
Sense of community, positive energy of the facility and staff.
I like all the improvements made over the past year; shows they care about their members. The staff is friendly and helpful. The facility has everything I need for my daily workouts. I also like that if you do have a problem or concern, they listen and take action. Taylor also offers a wide variety of programs, and I like the monthly newsletter that keeps you posted about ongoing and new evens.
The obvious benefit is the positive environment to be able to stay/get physically fit. The less obvious and just as important is the support given by the staff and members.
I like that YMCA staff people are helpful and the fitness staff there are helpful to the people coming to workout area and the front desk. The summer camps are convenient if you live on the area. I absolutely like going to the Y! I went to Camp Rising Sun when i was younger also had cane to the YMCA for after school. It was a whole lot of fun!
I love the variety of classes, the staff are always so friendly & welcoming
It’s convenient to where I live, has a good variety of weight and cardio equipment, has friendly and helpful staff, and good hours of operation.
Outdoor pools are quite the experience!
We have had a fantastic experience with the Taylor YMCA (summer camps have been excellent). It is truly a place where I love to attend and I love having my family attend
Great facilities staff is nice. Wish we could bring a few guests per year complimentary
Fitness classes and children’s programs.
Valerie’s Zumba class on Thursday mornings is the best I’ve ever taken! Also, the staff is very welcoming and the selection of free weights is great.
The best place to work out and stay fit. Lots of classes and the equipment is amazing. Let's not forget the awesome staff.
The number of thrive classes offered at Taylor Y.
I would love more classes to be available especially in the mid morning hours.
Also, the new App is very inconsistent. It “thinks” for a long time and it takes a lot of reloads to view and sign up for classes.
Thanks!
Cleanliness. Helpful ,friendly staff. Facilities
Clean and friendly
Thrive fitness classes and Thrive trips are great. We live closer to NW Y , so we enjoy classes, trips and activities there too.
All the instructors are friendly and helpful! Some instructors are truly knowledgeable about the training and exercise process. Romain , Pamela, and Nan are excellent!
The counselors are actively participating with my son. He is happy to go there. Previously, he didn't want to go to the other YMCA because he was bored. Not the case at this one.
