Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

The children's programs are great. We do gymnastics and swimming. It's also appreciated and a great feature to have the childcare room when you work out. (That said, it seems some can abuse this option.)

IMPROVEMENT NEEDED HERE: Work out areas for adults and teens can get very busy at times. I have noticed that some adults are not very nice to teens. Also, there are many adults and teens who could use some direct instruction on the proper protocol of using weights and machines. ( for example: Don't sit on machines on your phone; more than one person can use a machine at a time!) Having a gym protocol class and/or posted expectations would be helpful for gym users and a great way to be sure everyone gets to work out in an efficient, comfortable manner.

Can't wait to have the changing rooms done.

You have asked me this very survey not long ago. Is there any reason you want me to take it over again?

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

The facilities are very clean and enjoyable to use. Equipment is abundant throughout. Pool availability is a big plus even if i am not always taking advantage of it. Rooms are orderly. Equipment well maintained. Support staff are congenial and helpful. Receptionist are friendly and welcoming.

Small problem with some of the new touchscreens on the treadmills capacity to use the touch screen is diminishing over time based on general use and possibly use of moist cleanser pads to clean them. Generally, the previous screens were less difficult to have function, meaning the number of times that one needs to touch (hit) the card in solitaire for it to 'move' is increasing over time to a level of discouragement that I've stopped using the solitaire function. With the need to physically move the cards on the touch screen when playing Klondike version it is more difficult to play the game. Often, especially dealing with the 'aces' format at the top, moving the card even to exact position does not effect a completion of the effort. Seemingly minor concerns, but I really prefer the previous screens that were available on all the machines.

Close to home. 84 and need proper exercise. Might be an idea to have more social things for elderly...simple coffee meet or whatever. I for one am super- shy! Looking forward to trying the pool.

It is a great community and good resources. In addition, the Y helps the community in so many ways. I see it as an organization much bigger than just a resource for good health
