Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I love my Y. The staff is friendly. The equipment is constantly being updated

I feel like it's the best fitness facility in the area and that it cares about me.

I usually exercise weekdays between 6-8 am. I like to row to get warmed up. Many members also like to row so these machines are busy. The new rowing machines are in the front windows. It's difficult to sit and row on these machines at this time of the morning because on any sunny days the sun is directly in my eyes. I've asked staff to lower the blinds and they do but not low enough to keep the sun out of my eyes. I've suggested rotating the equipment to face the other direction of get permission to lower the blinds a foot more. They said they would but I haven't seen any change yet.
Also most of the dispensers are out of cleaning wipes. I'm hoping they will be refilled this week. I like to clean any machine I use before and after in case the previous user hasn't done so. I feel that this little step may help me ward off extra colds and infections this winter.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

It’s a community lifeline in so many ways, and particularly for someone like me who is socially shy. I love the many friendly interactions I get to have regularly with other members.

There is such an excellent variety of fitness classes and experiences; terrific instructors; friendly and helpful staff. It’s a gorgeous facility and campus, and so clean and well maintained.

And there are many opportunities to play recreational pickleball, which was my main incentive to join in the first place… only to discover that my fitness and social worlds opened up expansively.

I then convinced my husband to join too. And after being a long-time member at another gym, he came to the Y and now feels as passionately as I do. Our combined membership is the best money we spend each month.
