Hillcrest is more than just the Y. My friends And enjoy a peacefull energizing workout amongst other members. There is a range of adults from young to old, and I have lots of engaging conversations and pep talk to enlighten me on life and strengten my excercise routine . There are a variety of field trips and many friendly diverse activites we even enjoy food classes to engage us with healthy cooking techniques.

Variety. However I wish you had an early class 1 or 2 days a week, perhaps around 7:30.
I enjoy the Water Aerobics class. Good for the body but doesn't hurt knees or back like other excercises

As someone who recently relocated to this area, the Hillcrest YMCA has provided me with a sense of family and community. I was warmly welcomed - and continue to be cared for - by the amazing Member Service Representatives at the front desk. As a Silver Sneaker member, I have found a vast array of classes which fit my needs and wants, in addition to the "regular" classes and activities. Although this particular facility is "old school" and does not have all the "bells and whistles" that a newer campus may have, it is a comfortable building which feels like home to me. I've made many friends among my classmates, as well as the various staff members. Although my health and well-being are important to me, the people surrounding me are even more important than the exercise classes, fitness room and pool. In this age of increasing social isolation by both young and old alike, I feel that the sense of community which the Y can provide to all ages needs to be actively promoted as much as, or even more than the fitness programs and activities.
*Note to the PR or media person who may be reading this … a blitz campaign is needed to promote the YMCA as a place of social and community action, not just a place where we used to take swimming lessons when we were eight years old.
Open gym
