There's a multitude of activities offered at various times! Step and tone with Elgin is the favorite class offered.
I only use the Carver YMCA for the gym. Overall, I like it. I like that it is not too crowded in the mornings and that it is equipped with basic weightlifting equipment. I also prefer to use the YMCA as my gym because I support your mission.
However, some of the gear is getting a bit worn-out and could really use a replacement - specifically some of the bars that are used with the lat pull down machine. There is one that is so worn out that the grip area has been replaced with electrical tape that is now fraying. While I might tolerate this at home, I expect slightly better for a place that I pay a monthly subscription to.
Also, there are some mornings when the weight area is not that large, and with 4-5 people it can get crowded. It would be nice to have somewhere else to go other than the fitness track. The activity room that can be entered from the main exercise room is never used in the morning, and it is always locked. Why can we not have access to this room for use in the mornings?
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to provide feedback.
