From the warm greetings, to the "have a great day", the staff at the Glenwood Y really make you feel at home. They are all so friendly and welcoming.
Camaraderie, competent instructors
The people.
Staff are all very kind, professional, and skilled. I like that it’s family friendly and kids get to do healthy activities.
I enjoy able to participate in aquatics classes six days a week! Instructors are all different and I benefit greatly from those classes. I’m not much into the other activities.
Its close to home and the staff is very nice.
I’m a lap swimmer Eastside Y. The pool is nice, the filtration system does not seem to keep up, water gets very cloudy at times. Temp could always be a little cooler but I understand with other activities. Front desk staff is great. Metal lockers in men’s locker room, some pretty rusted out where you put your shoes, repair would be fine. Personal fitness trainer Cait very good, my wife and I took private sessions with her.
