Member Testimonials
Great facility with a lot of options. Love the indoor pickleball.
Continues to be a nice place to work out. Very helpful and friendly staff.
I have noticed that the fitness center needs a deep clean. Many areas, including the machines, that aren't cleaned during the general, superficial dusting or mopping are getting quite dirty.

The friendly staff and variety of options
I have been a member of the Y for years but only used it sporadically, due to work and the distance from my home. Then in July 2021. I retired and a friend said you should come to Cardio Dance with Janet. Wow!! Janet's class is so much fun and I have met so many Wonderful people! For a year now, I have been dancing in the mornings at least 4 days a week. It has helped me so much with my transition from work to retirement while I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. I'll get there eventually, in the meanwhile I'll continue to dance and hopefully take some other classes at the Y along the way.
Ver good place
I absolutely enjoy the Aqua Zumba classes. It's awesome. The people are so nice and friendly.
The water is nice and warm and I don't want to get out.
Clean and uncrowded women's locker and pool lanes!!
Enjoy the water aerobics.
Staff is very friendly & helpful, always there to answer questions! Would like to say that members are sometimes not so thoughtful when working out, on their phones, talking quite loudly, turn phone off or turn down your conversation!
Friendly people great staff and excellent programs
Patrons and staff very friendly! Classes fun and challenging. Pickleball the best st!!
My kids love parents' night out! The staff always does an amazing job keeping our kids safe and having fun, especially Erin!
There are a couple thing I have noticed. Sometimes in the sauna is people stretching out and exercising. The other is the use of cell phones on the equipment. Both of these are very inconsiderate, especially when asked to work in or to make room.
I value the camaraderie among my classmates in the pool.
I do, however, wish that there would be closer monitoring of the lockers in the women's area. Often lately and getting worse: I find a single shampoo bottle, or a left over piece of clothing, like someone is "saving" their locker- not good when swim folks need a place and a locker.....
Great equipment, wonderful staff and activity to please everyone.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Big shout out to Mr. Anthony for always keeping an extra eye on my kid.
Variety of classes, excellent instructors, reasonable rates, EV chargers for electric vehicles.
Professional and efficient.
