Member Testimonials
I love coming to exercise with my older friends. We are keeping ourselves healthy and we have so much fun together!
Everyone there make me comfortable
Friendly staff, clean and up to date equipment. I love the downtown community and sense of belonging amidst diverse cultures that I encounter. I appreciate the staff consistently wiping down equipment and the lockers are clean, neat and in shape. I spend the winters in Chatanooga and they have the same feel, community.
I do wish there was a way to make the lobby more inviting to hang around and mingle, that is the one thing Chatannoga had. They had 200 bannanas for sale, $.50 each, and healthy food choices pre packeaged locally at a decent price, fresh in a cooler ( people are GOING to spend money to eat, why not make it at the Y. They had a fireplace and comfortable seating that invited the members to hang around and fellowship. Always laughter, conversations, friendships developing. I sit in the downtown lobby to read, but I am secluded away from the main lobby and don't see the "invitation" to hang out there.
The mini fitness activities for older adults.
I like the mature adults aerobic classes.

We (as a group) truly enjoy the program and kudos go out to two key people:

2) Wes (who diligently provides the speaker system, sets up/puts up the chairs,
and takes attendance.
