I enjoy the lap pool. There is usually an empty lane, and if not, it’s a short wait.

Plenty of classes to choose from with enough notice. Open swimming in competition pool. However, people still need to learn how to share lanes and there should be more signage to promote this. I’ve been asking for this for over 10 years, but no one listens or does anything

Variety of classes good for older women. Lap swimming.

I believe the weight room and aerobic areas are well maintained.

I love that there is so much variety and levels of challenge in the classes. Strength training, especially the E-gym is a wonderful way to keep up with muscle building which is so important for us older folks. The socialization can't be beat! Yes, I would highly recommend this gym to anyone young or older.

I love the staff and atmosphere up in the gym! Every staff member I have spoken to is lovely and helpful.

I feel safe and protected in the gym at the WC Area YMCA, which is a nice feeling after a poor experience at my previous YMCA.

Thank you guys for all that you do!

Very extensive selection of fitness equipment and programs plus a wide range of activities for all age groups and a welcoming and helpful staff.

In addition to the teacher's care and elevated curriculum, the inclusion of a diverse range of sports and activities that are included in the Montessori program—yoga, swimming, zumba, music, spanish, etc. is an amazing bonus.

Tremendous Job!

I enjoy the classes so I can meet people I work out with and see if we have interests in common. It is important to have friends, and I cherish mine. The instructors are very well trained, fun and good at their subject. They never push you, always tell you to "listen to your body" and keep safe.

Variety especially.
Includes adaptive programs.

I love the pickleball courts! Wish there was a sign up for Friday evening since there are so many of us who come after work and we only get 2/4 courts - and the sign up sheets are always getting filled within 1-2 seconds. Otherwise love this YMCA location! New, clean gym equipment, warm pool and kind and responsive staff with a wide variety of classes available.

Instructors are great

I like your group exercise classes.

Nothing specific about the activities and programs, but I do appreciate the YMCA overall as well and the central message to the community.
