Member Testimonials
The staff and facilities are excellent.
I like the variety of classes available and the equipment offered.
1.Hours of operation; variety of equipment/programs; staff professionalism & courtesy; condition of facility.
I have been a member at the R.D. Fowler YMCA since 2003. After attending my first class, water aerobics and Cathy Kolb was the instructor, I knew that I would enjoy taking classes at the Y.
I know that things have changed after the pandemic. I wish we still had the instructors that were there prior to the pandemic. I also miss the familiar faces of the office staff and the front desk.
I have been doing Lin Roy’s chair yoga classes for awhile and I also used to do her regular yoga classes. I always feel great after her classes and we love her sense of humor. If Kim and Charly will be teaching her classes I’ll be happy.
The class choices are good. I used to receive emails about changes at the Y. I didn’t know about the life long learning meetings until I saw the flyer on the bulletin board. I also learned about the grief sharing group and caregivers group the same way. Did the life long learning group replace the senior lunch and learn? I’d like to receive emails about the changes that will be happening at the Y. For me the exercise classes aren’t the only important thing about the Y.
Awesome step class. And thank you for having gymnastics for kids!
Something for everyone… Clean, friendly employees, nice atmosphere !
Plenty of family options to pick from
there is so much equipment you never have to wait and its always clean
I like having access to Wellness Center for strengthening and the pool for aerobic workout.
Wish there was more availability of lap lanes for 4 pm and later. Very competitive for lanes; few are available.
Pool water too cold for my grandchildren to enjoy much, unfortunately. How do the children in lessons keep from getting quite cold while waiting for a turn?!
The rest of my comments were given on the survey-- I couldn't get back to the page asking about what could be done to improve, but those comments are in the survey info provided.
Pickleball and workout classes that are offered there.
Your programs are affordable and family friendly. I appreciate how you don't try to push selling memberships like many other athletic clubs do.
Melinda is a wonderful mentor
I enjoy meeting with her monthly and having her expert guidance
Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Facility is well maintained
I love the pool !
We will all try to be patient as times and activities change.
There is a variety of programs. I love being able to reserve a lane to swim.
Fantastic group ex instructors, helpful staff
The instructors are great. We do need to market better. When can we specifically start "Weight Loss for Life"? I have been told shortly for 3 years. BETH Girmay can teach and is excellent. I have a number who keep asking me when. We need to keep soap in the showers in the men's showers. I can't speak for the women's. We have the absolute best number of people for pickleball thanks a GREAT deal to our leader, Katie Block Furlough. Let's us this and have a meeting to see how we can use this group to raise money and use it for pickleball and others areas.
Great class instruction, clean facility, great equipment
The gym. I do miss all the familiar faces that left or were let go during the pandemic
Very good
Coach program is so helpful!
Love the Pickleball open gym time.
I really like the play center. My kids are always excited to go while I work out.
The gym was awesome, my children and I got a great workout. We also enjoyed using the indoor track!
there seems to be a variety of group classes
I think you guys have really stepped it up!!! Everything from the new cardio machines to the new track. Hoping to get some new weight machines soon as well. But your staff has been amazing and I’m really impressed with the upgrades!
I like that the pool is 85 degrees which makes it warm enough to get into the pool.
They say that infrared sauna is good for the brain etc. Please make the dry sauna into infared.
Whatever you need to get in shape is available for you. I am see good results.
I enjoy the pool and saunas and workout equipment.
