What do you like about your Y experience?

I take water aerobics on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The classes give me good aerobics, good resistance practice and good training. I wish the women's locker room had a spinner to spin the excess water from bathing suits.

What do you like about your Y experience?

It's an amazing community atmosphere, folks are supportive everyone is enthusiastic. When you arrive it's immediately apparent you are welcomed and with other folks who are all about family support, Christian values and betterment of your health. There is nothing else better. I look forward to spending time together everyday with my Y family. One of the other factors that doesn't have to be discussed is political values. Folks are more concerned with family values and I greatly appreciate that.

What do you like about your Y experience?

The classes and especially the trainers. If I could afford it, I would train several times a week! The HIIT and the Cardio Sculpt are my favorites after personal training.

It would be phenomenal if you would add a hip thrust machine so we can get the most out of the exercise. Also I know our Y is small and there is no room for Pilates machines but adding a class or two weekly of floor pilates with an experienced instructor would also be phenomenal. I would venture to guess it would attract new membership as Pilates seems to be rather expensive.

I have been a member for about a year and my health has improved exponentially allowing me to stop taking medication and no longer fear another stroke event. I treat my fitness care as a prescription and have great respect and gratitude for everyone around me that has contributed to my health journey.

One last comment. Out of simple respect for each other we should speak softly when discussing unsettling current events. I find it offensive to have to listen to the some of the political discourse, mainly among older white males. As a female, I want to feel safe at the YMCA.
