Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

The LVO Y is one of the best facilities I have ever been a member of. Staff are supported and in turn engage with the membership.
There is a routine update of equipment, and when a piece of equipment requires repair it is taken care of promptly.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I mainly swim laps. The pool is well maintained and the mens locker room is always clean. The staff is friendly and I always feel welcome. I take my grandson to the pool on occasion, the new family rooms are a welcome addition especially with the new lockers. I was most impressed that they were able to maintain the space during the construction.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I have always loved the Y!! I'm grateful that after a hiatus over covid, where I lost my habit and then the classes and instructors changed, I'm back. I LOVE Sarah McCormack and wish she had a dozen classes per week. That is the face of our YMCA! She brings love, joy and energy every day and it's impactful and inspiring! I would love a few more classes to chose from, maybe some later morning classes or more evening? All of the instructors, Ali, Kara, Lisa and Donna are outstanding, I've never been disappointed! I used to take Spin with Jo-An, so if you could lasso her back for a few classes, it would be fabulous. Those instructors are what lift the Y above all other options, and the greeters at the front desk, with their warm welcomes, make it such a joy to go there!

What do you like about our program and activities?

Addy and the instructors were extremely accommodating to us. Our son has unique learning challenges, but through discussion with Addy and the instructors we were able to keep him in group classes and saw him evolve from being scared of the water to easily submerging, swimming without flotation, and even earning his green wristband. Thank you!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Great, clean gym and space.

One important request is more baby changing tables and benches in the family locker rooms - there are lines of families waiting to use the very few rooms that accommodate younger children and babies

What do you like about our program and activities?

I like the flexibility in options for the different programs and activities. I love the inclusion and diversity that I see in the programs and activities as well. The coaches are amazing knowledgeable instructors and provide constructive feedback to my child. We are happy to have our child as a participant at your YMCA. As an adult that was enrolled at the YMCA organization as a child, I am happy that my child has the ability to attend as well.

Tanner who did the he orientation was great. He showed me a lot of the equipment and how to use it. It was not difficult at all. A lot of fun. I was impressed with how crowded and popular it is. I like the classes you offer. It’s clean and friendly. Pool beautiful. Liked the snack bar.
I already recommended it to my neighbor and I think she’ll join.
