The family vibes
Pool, gym
The YMCA is great. In saying that I would love if there were classes for toddlers or even in the afternoon to be able to pop in and use a room to have a playgroup, especially in the winter months where there is very little to offer for this age group .
Activities for all ages.
Location, meets my needs and friendly staff.
I like the variety of programs. There appropriate things to do for my husband and I, our grown children and our grandchildren. Having a local YMCA helps keep our entire family healthy.
Classes. Support and kindness of staff i.e. desk staff.
