Equipment in good working order
Kids program
We like the activities for our kids: access to the pool, swim lessons, parents night out and other sports classes.
People are courteous, clean equipments, convenient hours
Being greeted in a warm manner when I arrive and being told to have a good day/evening when I leave.
The physical plant and equipment, convenience and accessibility, and, especially, the responsive, courteous, competent, and friendly staff (kudos to Jamal in the exercise area).

The warm water pool
Friendly people, great facilities, competent instructors!
Friendly and helpful staff. Free kids programs and the variety of workout activities including pickel ball and yoga.
I like the workout area and the various machines/weights for resistance training and cardio. I have not taken advantage of any classes recently. Many tend to be overcrowded.
I love the instructors: Tricia and Janet. They lead an invigorating class that is popular with many of the Y members.
I enjoy the genuine welcome from Y staff as I check in.
Although I have been in the area for 40 years, June 2023 was the first time I stopped by looking for excercise classes. I found a jewel of an organization.
They frequently upgrade the equipment and keep things clean.
Everyone is so friendly. There are plenty pieces of equipment, and lots of wipes to use. My questions are answered very well. I love the fire feature as you walk in.
Family friendly environment
Everyone is friendly and helpful. The facility is always clean. I appreciate all of the new machines in the gym. The only negative thing is having only 1 leg extension machine. Since removing the second leg extension machine, there is always a line or it is difficult to get.
It was a very very nice space. But parking wasn’t
My son really enjoyed the fun day camp. It was filled with so many fun activities, he can’t wait to go back again. Everyone has been helpful with any questions we have. We also enjoyed the open swim. Overall we are happy we joined the Y!
I like the people who work a the Y. The equipment is excellent, and the temperature is just right.
Friendly people, pickleball, and good equipment
I love everything about the Dancel Y. I love the lap swim and workout gym. I did CrossFit for 10 years and I can do everything at the Y and it’s only 5 minutes away. Everyone is so helpful and kind! I love it. Thank you!
