Patty's yoga classes are the best! She is very aware of the various abilities of her students and takes individual experience into account when leading her classes. Patty is approachable for one-on-one instruction, kind, and accommodating. And- she knows her stuff! RF

Great instructors and you are staying safe
During the pandemic, the accommodations for social distancing and requirements for masks except during some exercise, make me feel comfortable.
I think the instructors are excellent and the wide variety of classes offered means there is something for everyone. More classes will return when we are able to be inside more. I like that they moved some classes outside and I hope that some will continue to be held outside even when the virus subsides.
The knowledgeable staff is always helpful and I think of them as friends. The hours of operation are really good.
I only use the pool right now. I like the Covid protocols the Y has put in place and the warmth and generosity of the staff.
The variety of classes and the exercise areas with good equipment.
The staff is doing an excellent job during the pandemic.

Activities for all ages.
