What do you like about your Y experience?

Best YMCA class instructors. The instructors are dedicated to teaching. Great work outs in the classes.
Would like more classes in January when the New Year Resolution people come in so the classes are not as crowded. when more people will be coming. hard to work out in a class when too full.
The limited on the number in the classes is really good.
Thank you!

What do you like about your Y experience?

I LOVE the way the warm water pool is utilized. Everyone is given access to the pool throughout the day because each interest group can use a different area of the pool AT THE SAME TIME. The friendly faces at the door also set the tone for the visit.

What do you like about your Y experience?

The kids seem to be learning a lot, it would be nice if there was a coach for each lane, since it seems each lane is at a different level, but I have been very impressed with the coaches so far.

What do you like about your Y experience?

In love love love my water classes at the Y! After decades of not being a regular exerciser, I finally found my niche. The teachers, the great music to get me moving and the sense of community have really made a difference in getting me out the door and into the pool many times a week. The water classes have been great on my joints, helped relieve my pain and made me more toned and happier. Thanks!

What do you like about your Y experience?

The karate program at Dancel has been an excellent opportunity for growth for my children. The instructors are very knowledgeable, experienced, and work very well with the karate students.

Both of my children who have participated in the program (for four years now) consistently amaze me with what they have learned from karate. In addition to learning intricate kata, they learn patience, focus, concentration, respect, and they have even learned a surprising amount of Japanese. Likewise, they have also gained confidence in themselves and in their ability to accomplish difficult things.

The instructors really value each child in their classes and enjoy sharing their guidance with their students. In particular, Sensei Allison, is a very caring and helpful teacher. My youngest child can sometimes become very frustrated and can get noticeably upset at making mistakes. However, Allison deftly brings out the best in my youngest and helps her to correctly see her accomplishments instead of any minor imperfection. Allison interacts with the karate students and cares for their well-being with the same concern and respect as if they were her own children. She truly is a class act and an undeniable asset to the Dancel karate family.

What do you like about your Y experience?

large variety of offerings, including 2 pools, of classes.

I don't know if this will be paid any attention to.... but, as much add I love the Y, i wish the shower areas would be POWER WASHED. I'm sure they would glisten afterwards, be more inviting, AND there would be fewer germs... mostly it would feel so much cleaner.

ADDITIONALLY, i belief it would save money down the road as tile wouldn't need to be replaced.
