Member Testimonials
Variety of classes and first class instructors. Office help very friendly and helpful.
I like the group classes and the diversity of members.
We love everything..from the classes to the gym to the fitness machines and weights. We love the swimming pool, the monthly parent's night out and family events. It a great investment for anyone, especially families who are in need of these services and more!
Love the juice bar! Great pool and sauna. Nice gym. Nice wide open public areas.
What I'd like to see more of:
Steam room.
Quiet public room/reading room.
More electrical outlets for charging electronic devices in the public areas.
Keep up the great work!
Senior friendly. Lap lanes available early mornings weekdays along with senior friendly water exercise classes.
I love coming to my classes and I'm making friends
The Y is as good or better than private gyms.
I gives me what I need. The staff is friendly and helpful. The equipment is kept in good repair.
Atmosphere, facilities, friendly staff, coffee in morning
Pretty much everything. Except...wish the pool was available for more adult lap swim on weekends, and wish the new exercise machines had built-in fans like the old ones. But otherwise, I love Orokawa Y!
building is beautiful, activities are wonderful and people are friendly and welcoming.
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.
Very pleasant & easy membership enrollment.
Nice greeting from those at desk when you come in.
