I love rpm cycle class! John Michael is awesome! I’m a teacher and they have good times!
Thank you very much for connecting the TV's to the stationary bicycles. I like everything about the Downtown Y. It's absolutely the best facility of it's kind, and I have seen a lot of them.
Instructors and facilities are both excellent.
I really like taking classes from Michelle and Ashley! I can only make Ashley’s rpm class on Saturdays.
I do wish Asley could teach her classes at 6 or 6:15 p.m.because I can’t make it to the y on time for her 5:30 rpm or pump class.
These 2 are the best in my book! They are the reason I go to the y! They are wonderful, knowledgeable and motivating.

large number of activities and equipment
Great safe swimming pools and water exercise classes!
Friendly staffs
Enjoy the pool and helpfulness from the staff.
I love the social aspect of heading to Tellepsen.
Staff is always very helpful and friendly. in fact they have gone above and beyond to help out more than once. Plenty of equipment and space in the workout areas.The private swim lessons have been fabulous. I have always hated swimming, but Olivia is an incredible teacher and has made it fun, so much so that I've actually gone swimming on my own. I'm sure I don't know about all the programs and activities yet, but the ones I've used have been great.
I love the atmosphere. I love everything about the Y. I love the many floors with many different things to do in each floor. I love the swimming pool and the variety of classes that are available.
Accessible, varied, inexpensive. I feel like I belong at the Y - it’s a good fit for me and I am more likely to work out because of this.
People, it’s clean
Are you planning to bring back the towels for wiping equipment? These are greatly missed and I will continue bringing a towel from home until you provide again.
Also, the use of paper towels to wipe the equipment seems quite wasteful and inconvenient. Of all the suggested CDC guidelines for gyms, it seems wiping the equipment after each use is the only one you have implemented. The machines are still crammed right next to each other. Masks are not required. There are no rules against social distancing. etc. And since wiping the equipment after each use is 100% the responsibility of the paying YMCA member, it seems a bit curious as to why this is the only guideline you are following.
Bring back the towels. Have YMCA personnel wiping off the equipment ... not the members.
Thanks.

Group exercise
Very delightful place to work out topknot equipment
Love the classes, clean gym & facility, and great customer service when you come in. John is very nice.
Really like the friendly staff, view from classrooms, and offerings. Would be nice to have HIIT in the evening - would be really great to have HIIT class that combines some strength work. So great to be able to have both strength and cardio in one class.
Front desk girl was cute af
Family friendly
I love this YMCA. Very clean, lots of space and equipment. Workers are always friendly!
Looking forward to seeing the gym return to normal Sunday hours! Gotta work out in the am before football :)
The facility is well equipped and clean. The steam room is wonderful. People are friendly and it's always safe. Plus parking!
I don't really use the programs or activities, but I love the equipment setup that the Tellepsen has: plenty of free weights (and squat racks), and the track is awesome.
Variety and times of activities
Different classes offered and indoor track
I use the weights and weight machines on the top floor about 2-3 per week.
The Y is a wonderful place for workouts and I enjoy going there.
Thank you for expanding the weekend hours.
I like the womans workout area. Its very peaceful.
