What do you like about your Y experience?

I love the staff members and teachers. I love the exercise equipment and classes you have available for us. I appreciate being able to bring my granddaughter to the pool for swim team practice and watch her swim. The front desk always has warm greetings to extend to all who enter. Bravo my Y, I am so thankful to have you to come to each week

What do you like about your Y experience?

Before my injury, I was enjoying the classes--Yoga and Yes. For about two months following my injury, I couldn't do anything because of the healing process. Now I want to get back into my physical activity. I was unable to do this for about 4 and 1/2 months.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Desk staff VERY helpful. Locker rooms well-designed and managed. Heated pool was critical to my choice to do rehab here and then join the Y, as TBI injury made my legs cold sensitive.

I am, however, surprised no wheelchair access to pool by ramp or lift. That's my only concern.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Pool availability. Really like Jeff’s 7am and 8 am water classes. His exercises work ALL major muscle groups and has helped tremendously with my land balance, joint and muscle flexibility. My orthopedic surgeons are surprised at how much strength I have after two knee replacements and a shoulder replacement in the last 4 years. My shoulder replacement was in March of 2024 and at my 1 year check the surgeon after testing my strength in my left arm said..”wow, that’s really strong”. So… kudos to Jeff for providing the variety of exercises necessary for me to rehab my joints back. You should advertise how water therapy benefits a person after joint replacement surgery

What do you like about your Y experience?

The summer specialty camps provide a good experience for our youngster. I will say, however, that there wasn't much choice this summer, and our girl was a bit disappointed with the fact that she didn't get to bring any of the experiments home.

What do you like about your Y experience?

The PiYo class was great! The instructor took time both before and after the class to check in with another new student and me. She also provided instructions during the class to help newcomers acclimate. I'll definitely be back!

What do you like about your Y experience?

Friendly and courteous staff.

What I don't like: Men's locker room carpets and tile floors need to ne thoroughly cleaned
on a daily basis. Presently, I feel that a far better job daily cleaning is necessary to maintain sanitary conditions in the locker room.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I was really hesitant to send my child to the Y for the summer. I heard a lot of ups and downs but took a chance and I am sure glad I did. My child has been having a blast this summer thanks to the Y. They did swim lesson for her, took her on field trips and she has non-stopped talked about how everyone is so kind to her. We will defiantly be putting her back in next summer.

What do you like about your Y experience?

This was my daughter’s second year at Camp Kekoka, and she already can’t wait to go back next summer! She always has so much fun with the wide variety of activities offered, makes friends she keeps in touch with throughout the year, and feels a real sense of community with her fellow campers. I love that the camp provides a safe, active, enjoyable experience at a price that doesn’t break the bank!
