Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Nice facility. I am trying to resume my swimming regimen now that my grandchildren have learned to swim on their own (with supervision). I want to get back to at least 5 days/week!

I love the Y! As a young mom of 2 I love the drop in childcare. I bring my children for about 35 minutes and am able to get a nice work out in

You have everything I need in the gym. I am a senior and find it very affordable. I cycle three times a week, well worth the monthly fee!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

It is a really great facility with a wide variety of space for many kinds of work outs. The classes are positive and welcoming. The space is clean and very user friendly. It is easy to see how much it feeds to the community at various levels.

I will say the lay out of the building takes some getting use to but the staff are always helpful.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Like the variety of programs offered for everyone in my family, over 60, children in 30s, grandkids.

I also appreciate Darios and their staff. Delicious snacks and helpful as my grandson gas an hour between activities and it's nice to get something warm to refuel between activities.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Great way to consistently reinforce swimming skills. An area for improvement is the variability in quality of the instructors. Some are just going through the motions. But once I figured out which those were I could schedule my child to avoid those instructors. The other area for improvement is class size, or more specifically instructor to student ratio. The ratio is good at the preschool level, but at school age there can sometimes be too many kids per instructor on days when the full class shows up.

What do you like about our program and activities?

The pools and locker rooms are very clean, and some of the lifeguards are friendly.

We are in the parent child swim class, and the teachers are mediocre at best. They don’t have great rapport with the babies/toddlers, and they seem to be just stuck with the assignment rather than someone who enjoys working with the age group. Can we get some parents of toddlers teaching???

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Overall the facilities are great. I do have two points of feedback. First, it would be very helpful if the back weight room was open more often as it would really impact the congestion in the main room. Second, the men’s locker room is really subpar. The showers are often lacking soap and are not particularly clean. The overall locker room has temperature issues. I find the rest of the facility to be top notch and I truly enjoy the place. Also, the staff is always friendly and helpful.
