Accessibility
Love Pilates with Lauren! I enjoy lifting and using the treadmills.
Very nice
The members are smiling as is the front desk, especially Sammy. Sammy is helpful, professional, very friendly, and courteous.
I like the pool for exercising
Variety, class instructors
I only use the indoor pool because I have severe osteo-arthritis, and the only exercise I can do is deep-water aerobics. I used to like to do the water aerobic classes, but what works best for me now is to do my own aerobics in the water at 5:00 am.
Everyone is friendly and inviting. Pickleball is the main reason I’m there.
Please wash your water fountains. I forgot my water bottle and was kind of afraid to drink from the fountain…not clean.
What's not to like? There's something for everyone
I had a transplant of my liver almost 3 years ago. When I was first released from the hospital after months of therapy and treatments the only thing I could do was swim. The RC door YMCA in Burlington was perfect for me they had an indoor heated pool where I could do therapy exercise and get back into some form of good shape. If it hadn't been for that one thing I don't know what shape I'd be in today. My doctors were pleasantly surprised at how well I did by the second year. I give all the credit to the YMCA especially the RC Durr YMCA in Burlington. Plus the staff there were very helpful especially Parker and Carrie.
I like the water aerobics classes. God instructors and fellowship.
Parking is OK most of the time. Easy check in. Everyone is nice and greet members at the door. Don't like to have to sign up before but every club is doing pre class registrations. Nice classrooms but the baseboards need to be cleaned, at least the larger room. The dust bunnies are thick! And they have been for MONTHS! They were missed in the end of August cleaning.
I like the instructors. Wish there were more aerobic type classes like step aerobics or even more aerobic activity beyond just weightlifting and balance. I miss Stacy Morris's step and mixed aerobic classes. I used to take 2-3 classes in a row like 8:15, 9:00 and 10:15 to make my driving trip more worthwhile. I do stay for both the power lift and balance classes.
I've never been in the pools.
The YMCA childcare programs have been great. They work well with my work schedule and being able to send my oldest son there on days his school is closed has been super helpful. I am very appreciative!
Variety of options and times to fit every work/school schedule.
I like
The Skees center where I participate has a variety of activities that keep my week interesting.
I especially enjoy the art on Monday, the bridge game and bingo on Wednesday, and the bingo on Friday. And once a month there is Mexican Train (dominoes), and the activity on this second Thursday of the month sometimes varies to various card games. We generally have six to eight participants on this particular day and all enjoy the change-up.
The directors at our center are very hospitable and accommodate the various needs of the senior participants, sometimes a challenging event, but Jeanie and Teresa are very capable and adaptive to the instant situations.
Weights / aerobic
I like swimming and being able to reserve a lane.
Pickleball
Outstanding staff and instructors.
