Very friendly staff

Availability

Variety (though I wish there was evening water aerobics), staff and atmosphere!

Steam room

Had a great yoga class with a really good teacher in a very nice, large space.

The lifeguards are nice and they don’t interfere with the swimmers. Very pleasant atmosphere which is a huge plus. Very nice there!!

I don't start till tomorrow. This weekend my 7mo old grandson started swim class. Mother and son enjoyed the class so much
Tomorrow I will start w/ Silver Sneakers Circuit,
Strength training g at 10:15. Then chair yoga at11:30.I plan to also take a swimming course.

Great staff. Members are very nice as well

I was very happy to hear the steam room and sauna were back in operation!

People are great

GNY is a great facility...great staff, lot's of friendly members - I love it there but I do have one small issue that while very important to some of us, still will not keep us from coming to the Y. The issue is the surface of the lone remaining racquetball court floor - it's extraordinarily slippery and badly in need of refinishing. As slippery as it is makes it like playing on ice - there is no grip between the floor and the shoe making it dangerous to try to move fast, turn, change directions etc, all of which make racquetball the fast, fun and to a large extent aerobic sport that it is. The cost of refinishing the floor would be relatively low with the "return on investment" conversely high. I'd be happy to speak with anyone at the Y about this if someone would like to speak to me? My name is Name removed and my cell number is Phone number removed. Thank you - and rest assured that I love the facility - slippery floor or not but would use it much more if it was "not"

I just joined so haven't tried any yet, but am looking forward to this.

Professional all the way

I haven't used the programs, but I like the updates that have been made to the fitness center. Especially the flooring that was installed.

I have never encountered any but positive staff.

I am happy.

Great workout equipment. Clean facilities. Nice people

Various activities throughout the day. The facility is clean.

I am currently only going to the Friday dance fitness class, so I cannot comment on other programs. Zmara does an excellent job with her instructions, and makes the class a lot of fun.

Not as crowded as other gyms

Great classes where you meet some wonderful people.

My opinion of the Gamble-Nippert Y had gotten pretty negative during the months when it appeared that there would no longer be a sauna and the steam room was unavailable much of the time. These two accommodations are an important part of my workout.

But now they are both working. Moreover, they are functioning properly, with appropriate temperatures. This is a big deal to me. I appreciate very much that you have attended to this.

Also, it seems to me that the weight and spin machines in the exercise room are being maintained more consistently of late.

I'm not that familiar with most of your other programs, but you are doing a very good job with the things that matter to me.

The people are friendly and facilities clean.

They have made me stronger and I have fun exercising

Group ex instructors

I’m a senior citizen…..especially like the Silver Sneaker classes. I just wish there were more offered.

Pool and yoga

Everything

I basically just go swimming

Lot of equipment in weight room, plus other things to do.
