Member Testimonials
community oriented; variety of classes; everybody's friendly; great instructors!
It is a clean facility, the staff is helpful and welcoming and it provides many classes and opportunities to help you stay fit.
Had my first full workout and class today and it was wonderful. Looking forward to explore all the Y has to offer.
I like all of the class options available at Orakowa. The yoga instructors have all been so welcoming and encouraging despite my lack of experience or flexibility. The piyo instructor was great.
My husband prefers Parkville because it is less crowded and he prefers to use machines and free weights.
We are both happy with the option to use whatever location best meets our individual needs.
I hope to explore more classes.
They always have things for children to enjoy even during Spring Break.
The staff greets you at the door with a smile most times. In addition Mr. Marc is good at arranging activities that keep children busy and entertained.
I never learned to swim as a kid. Since my nephew wanted to learn to swim before he joined the Navy, I decide we would take lessons together. We started with Level 1/2. He left for the military shortly afterwards. I decided to continue with lessons 3/4. I am now starting my final lessons 5/6.
The instructors are great; Very attentive to teaching, and making sure we are progressing. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. It has been a great experience.
Nice variety of programs.
