What do you like about your Y experience?

I love the warm water classes

I'd like to take the arthritis chair fitness when it starts in Jan but the folding chairs in that room are not comfortable and a little too low

Pleased check with Senior Cotizens before purchasing new ones. I'd like to make a suggestion on the fit

I hesitate to have any of my friends join because of the parking situation.. scary

The staff is always friendly and helpful

What do you like about your Y experience?

The large variety of activities and lessons available.
My only suggestion would be to cut down on the glare from the windows at the lower level pickle ball/basketball courts

What do you like about your Y experience?

Great gym, great staff, and a great atmosphere. My only complaint is the swimming pool schedule. On weekday afternoons, the swim team uses 4 of the 6 lanes, and another lane is often taken for 1 person to do a private lesson—leaving members with just one lane to share, sometimes with 5 people. At that point it’s too crowded to swim comfortably, and I usually end up getting out. I come to relax and enjoy my workout, not to feel stressed.

I mentioned this to the manager, but unfortunately nothing has changed.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Warm water classes. Staff at the front desk. Welcoming to everyone.

Many of us have Y memberships only to be able to come to the aqua classes. Please pay the water fitness and aqua zumba teachers enough to be able to attract and keep high quality teachers. I don't know if it's true, but the students believe the teachers are not paid very much.

Two of the EV charging units were inoperable when I was there Friday (one has been out of commission for weeks/months.)
