My experience at the Y has led to an overall improvement in every area of my life. I'm able to access fitness classes and equipment that is strengthening my body, elevating my mind and lifting my sprits. I feel strong and happy. My family and I are making friends and building community. It feels good to be connected.

After a short stint at another gym I was happy to come back to the YMCA - their programs, staff and overall atmosphere were big considerations in that decision.

The warm welcoming sense of community. The quality of the classes offered is A+ The sprawling room to workout. The professionally run pool. Xander. I witnessed him save a life making it look like it was easy. Haha -- he is excellent and has layers and volumes of walking information about swimming - He should be made the director of swimming. Rook is smart too but rarely around. The quality serenity, and variations of Kirsten's yoga classes are some of the best in town.
I visited in here 10 years ago and thought it looked run down and dumpy. Now I am a new member in 2024 and think it looks fresh and revitalized. The whites and the lost dingy beiges make it seem clean. People here are pretty friendly but are also serious about working out but don't chat too much. Not a big fan of all the kids being around and screaming but I do like the inclusion of individuals with special needs. Parents seem desperate for conversations but are usually distracted by their children offering an escape to get back to working out.
(You can share my first name First name removed, but please don't post my last name online. - thanx!)
