Dance classes
Variety of programs. Helpful, capable staff.
It's more the people than the programs for me
The facility has a lot to offer as far as programs and classes. The equipment seems good. When it's busy, it's hard to get on some of the machines. The trainers seem knowledgeable and helpful. It's a gym.
In particular the swim program for my 5 year old has been fantastic and we've only been in about 4 classes. She is enjoying it so much! And they coaches give great advice on practice.
I like the Y because it’s close to my home and very easy to access. The staff is very nice and helpful.

Helpful and fun
The instructor is good and the room is the right size and the sound is good
The locker room is always clean, all the lockers are large and the equipment is well maintained.
Great classes and great community. However it would be nice if there was a way to keep people from sitting on the weight machines while they text. It leaves other people waiting to use those machines.
Love Julia’s classes
