I enjoy my Yoga class, Strength and Balance, Water Aerobics, the gym and of course some of the excursions.
I also like the fact that I get to to meet other ladies like me and make friends.
I would like to join the Zumba class but it is not for seniors. It is too fast and calls for jumping sometimes.
nothing to not like.
I enjoy the classes and activities for Seniors.
Geauga YMCA has promoted MahJong to seniors as a way to build social bonds and keep our brains sharp.
I use only the fitness center at this time, but find the equipment I need is there.
I love the Active Older Adult Classes and Tai Chi
Sue and Melanie are great instructors. !!!!
I like that I can do the class as hard as I want or as gently as I want, depending on what's going on in my life. The people in class are fun too and fun is very important!!
I'll say this:
During Sue's class when she takes a little water break and we're done with the weights, some people like to put their weights away in the weight room.
One day not long ago, Lana came in during the short breather break and stood in front of the weight room and admonished everyone to go back to their seats, and that they aren't allowed to put their weights away during the break because it's a "safety hazard."
She made these special ADULTS feel like children who needed to be scolded. She lost the respect of the seniors, I can tell you that much. She did it in a shaming way.
Shame on you, Lana, for treating older adults like children that need scolded. YOU need to be scolded for that behavior! The class talks about it with disgust. Like we need to be told what to do in that tone and in that way by some perky little snip of an "authority figure."
We've been around the block long before Lana was born and have endured enough BS. Her behavior was uncalled-for.
*Furthermore, if it's a safety hazard to put weights away during the break, why is it ok after and before class? Makes no sense.
Other than that incident I love the Y and the front desk staff and Diane and the classes and am really grateful for this treasure in my neighborhood!!
I love the pool classes! Wish we had more and Volleyball in pool on Friday morning would be nice.
good only issue is you need worker(s) in exercise room on saturday/sundays to help
We like the people most of all. We have mentioned and we know others have as well about addressing those who drop the weights when using them. They need signs put up by the weight machines. Hard on people’s ears especially with those who already have hearing issues.
Thanks
I appreciate the various yoga classes. I also appreciate the ability to use the pool at numerous times throughout the day.
Love the Silver Sneaker classes! Excellent instructors, and so very popular. I've made many new friends, and enjoy staying fit!
I haven't participated in any structured activities or programs, but I went to use the equipment in the weight room and it had everything I needed. A good variety of machines, plenty of weights and other equipment - all in a very spacious room. I hate working out in super crowded spaces, but this was just perfect. I will be back.
Wide variety of programs.
Water aerobics is my favorite
