Member Testimonials
Instructors
excellent trainers.....good folks-fellow members
It’s family oriented
pilates reformer
Friendly clean and a variety of activities, equipment etc.
I enjoy the group classes. The instructors that I have are all excellent (Lori, Marianne, Kathy) and friendly. It is a comfortable gym.
The pool without the water aerobic class and the kind lifeguards. Someone needs to tell the class that the class starts at 9:00 not 8:30 or even earlier. The schedule indicates lap swimming until 9:00. If they need to get in to warm up ((their vocal cords) it seems), let the schedule reflect it.
Everything really. The staff, the amenities, my son really likes being able to go on his own at 13 and all the sports activities, the kiddie pool, playground and kid care for my younger one, the little garden by the preschool by daughter loves! I joined because it seemed to have something for everyone and we are definitely enjoying!
I love the group classes. The instructor are so fun and really give me the push I need to keep going. I do also love all the Y members. Best gym family!
I mainly use the gym facilities, and enjoy the reasonably extensive collection of machines. I also like that it's not overcrowded with hyper serious gym rats. There is a nice mixture of seniors and younger people.
Clean well maintained gym

Friendly atmosphere!
I enjoy the friendships I have made. The pool is so much better than before. It is so much cleaner.
Cathy our chair yoga instructor is beyond compare. She is fantastic
Total access to fitness.
I swim in the pool and the lifeguards are very friendly. since I don't wear a watch I base my time according to their shift change every 30 minutes. I wish that large clock on the back was a real clock though.
Thank you for fixing the front doors.

I am an active senior and I love the chair yoga and low impact aerobic classes with weights. The instructors are the very best and they both are perfect experiences for older adults
Friendly staff. Cloth towels for cleaning equipment. Clean.
I like the variety of equipment in the gym, the group classes and the many members I've come to know.
Workout facility is well-lit (unless a bulb is out) open and roomy. However it could be better temperature-regulated. It's often too warm, especially when a lot of people are working out or have just worked out. Some floor fans or a lot more fans on the ceiling and walls would help a lot, because they are what really cool us off.
Please bring back the lists of exercise classes and their description. I don't have a smartphone.
Please get the bottle filler at the water fountain by the workout room fixed.
Also, please get some new ID tags. Mine is well-used and falling apart, and, as I said, I don't have a smartphone. There may be others with smartphones that don't want to bring them into the Y while they workout also or others without them.
It would also be nice if you were open until 6:00 on weekends, like you used to be before Covid.
I also find the new elliptical machines make it really hard to read a book while working out. And they are very uncomfortable if you don't want to use the arm movement. One type tends to hit you with the arms when you try to turn the page of a book (if you can balance it in the very small space) and the other has nowhere comfortable to put your hands, although you can read on it. Just really uncomfortable on the arms & hands, often putting my hands to sleep.
I like coming and working out except I find it much less comfortable than it used to be and harder to access classes. The weights are much better since you switched the method of adding 5 or 10 lbs. to the machines.
What did you do with the little rack that held the smaller dumbbells? It was much more conveniently located, so you didn't have to bother someone working out on the apparatus where they are now located.
Thanks
The people in charge of the YMCA care for their patrons. There are many wonderful activities in which to choose with time frames that allow for choices. The trainers and leaders of exercises know very well there expertise and are experienced. It's a joy to be a member of the YMCA!
