Member Testimonials
I love the timing of spin class and the positive environment.
Lots of variety!
Great place to workout and meet other people who are interested in health and wellness on an individual and communal level!
The variety of classes. The fact that Coach Approach is included in the membership. The facility has free weights and machines (I wish there were more machines to exercise abdominals, specifically obliques).
Pool, steam, and whirlpool.
I use the group exercise classes and like how friendly the instructors are and how they make exercising easy and fun

Exercise classes and teachers/staff
So many exercise classes! A fabulous variety with THE BEST instructors. And the price is right, particularly for seniors.
Additionally, the diversity of our YMCA membership - such a gift to our community! Young and old, all shades, multiple nationalities, LGBTQ ...
And the staff - welcoming front-desk folks, membership recruiters, childcare providers, Wellness Center consultants and trainers.

That it opens so early and offers great programs (like Body Pump) when other centers are still closed. Great for early risers!
You have groups that fits everyone's level and needs. The teachers are very skilled and knowledgable about their areas.
Everything.
Variety of programs/classes.
It's a community - from the people that greet you at the front desk to the instructors, staff members and patrons - I feel like I belong at the DDY.
I like the environment. It's casual, but well-run. People are friendly. Machines are kept-up and the group classes are really good.
