Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

As a Y member for many years, I have been continually impressed with the Y's responsiveness. If pickleball is in demand, there are pickleball courts, teams. The Y has expanded it's yoga and Pilates programs with more classes lead by excellent, caring instructors as well as props such as eye pads, blankets... For those using the equipment, there are updated machines. The facility is clean and the culture is friendly and welcoming. You can find the director at the front desk interacting with members. There is community and also opportunity to give back with food and clothing drives. Yes I always recommend the Y.

It's a community resource. You get together with others to try to be healthier and it's heart warming that you get to see children while you're there.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Up until this week, I would have said excellent.

For an unknown reason, last Tues. a whole class of us showed up for an 11:00 Fit for life class to learn there was no teacher. WE suggested maybe a substile could be supplied; a tape could be projected to work from. No suggestion was even considered and stil,l no reason given.

I speak for myself, but others felt the same: Why could no one give us a reason, create a substitute, or supply a tape, video for us to work from or at least be up front about a reason the class was cancelled with no notification.

It has helped me so much with my healing process. It has made me some new friends. It has made me not afraid of everything. It has taught me I can do it, I might not always succeed. But the staff is so warm and helpful. I hope I can keep my wellness journey on the right track.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Clean, well-lit, full of people who are having a good time being fit. Good to see so many young people "hanging out" in a safe space, getting some exercise, seeing friends. I always come away from the Y feeling cheerful, not to mention it keeps me fit!
