Cleanliness, Sense of community, Equipment, Giveback Mission
The first thing I want to do is say THANK YOU for opening at 5 AM during the week , and & 7 AM on Sundays . This extra time will benefit me greatly as far as being able to get a longer and more effective work out completed . It will ill also make it easier for me to get to work earlier in the morning .
I just joined is September of 2019 , I am very happy with everything at the Dancel Y at this time .

Membership benefits allow us to utilize facilities no matter where we are
I love that the Dancel Y provides a wealth of activities encompassing varied interests for various groups - kids, seniors, adults. All of these activities are included within the monthly cost. The only things I don't like about Dancel Y is parking and crowds during peak times.
#1 staff always ready to help.
Currently, I am working with a personal trainer at the Dancel Y. She is very patient and willing to help me in my continuing rehab post spinal fusion & knee replacement. I have also used the warm water pool for stretching & strengthening exercises. The water isn't as warm as the pool in the Columbia Athletic facility but still tolerable. I check online to determine how busy the facility is before I make the 25 minute trip. I need a parking spot near the building, so I wish there were more disability parking spots.
Friendly staff, first-rate equipment, and variety of classes.

I enjoy the spin classes.
I have been coming to the Sat 7:30 class for several years. I love Bob who started in the spring for this class. But it is too hard to get a bike now.
I am retired and I can switch to the class on Monday.
Need more instructors and more bikes.
I also use the gym and enjoy trying out new machines.
The staff is also very friendly and helpful.
