Member Testimonials
The friendliness
Nice weight room and spa
I am still very much a beginner on my fitness journey. I mostly have been attending the group classes which have been extremely helpful with having some guidance and accountability in my endeavors. I particularly enjoy the Tuesday morning dance class.
They have free orientations to help you learn to use the equipment and become more confident in exercising on your own, which I plan to take advantage of soon; free counseling services for the community, whether or not you are a member; childcare available for families with young children while their adults are using the facilities; and sometimes have food available in their food pantry and resources available for when they do not.
Everyone has been super helpful and kind, staff and members alike. I have never once felt judged, only welcomed.
The YMCA is for everyone and an asset to the community. I am proud to be a member.

The Staff are friendly and helpful with questions. If they don't know the answer, they'll find out. The YMCA has something to offer almost everyone. Members are able to share many experiences with other members including: exercise classes, travel, helping those who need assistance, water exercise classes, swimming lessons, child care, Personal Training. The list goes on.

diverse classes offered
The pool area and hot tub area are much cleaner than they were when I last belonged. I like the pool exercise classes, the strengthening class and the lap swimming. I have not tried the massage chair yet, but it's on my list.
Yoga and cycle. I would love an 8 or 9 am every day!!! The instructors are the reason I come back
Classes.
However pool too busy, can't swim laps
I like the variety of classes to get strength, stretching and aerobic exercise.
The facilities are nice and my kids love going to swim lessons. I especially want to give a shoutout to one of the instructors named Elliot. I have absolutely LOVED him working with my 4 year old son and actively seek out his classes for my son. He is so calm and kind with the kids while providing structure and keeping the kids engaged. We love Elliot and appreciate his work with our child!
