What do you like about your Y experience?

I love the variety of classes and the fact that you can utilize the exercise rooms when a class is not in session. It would be great if information about the computer kiosk outside of the aerobics room was explained via an email link.
My favorite classes are Mixxed Fit and Cardio Dance.
The gymnasiums are well kept and my teenage boys love playing basketball in there when it is not overrun by pickleball players during open/family gym.
The pool area is great during open swim and the water seems to be kept clean.
The play area for kids is well run and the staff are very nice. They recognize my daughter every time she comes to hang out. I love how the team members keep on top of kids who are coughing with mask wearing and ensure cleanliness.
We love our Dancel YMCA!

What do you like about your Y experience?

I was hesitant to invest in a gym membership due to the lack of child care services at other gyms. I was so excited to sign up at the Y because of the stay and play. It’s such a helpful benefit. I’m so thankful for the workers that watch our children for us while we workout!
