It's just a nice facility all together.
Love the classes! However I wish they didn't all start at the same time on the same night. For example, 3 classes all start at 6:30 on Tuesday. Would be nice if they were staggered so I would have options based on my work and evening schedule.
Many options for exercise and activities for the whole family
More conducive atmosphere as comparted to the last gymnasium all round compatibility
Love the place and the people.
Love Vicky Maybe’s Mobility class and the friendly staff.
I came to the early morning lap swim, all the lanes were full. 3 separate members adjusted themselves to make room for me in the lanes. I felt so welcome. Everyone knew each other and they were looking out for one another and happily accepted me into the YMCA family. I was seriously moved by the warmth and atmosphere!
Friendly service and we'll run group exercise classes.
Staff very helpful. Sorry to hear the silver sneakers program won't be honored any longer. Will anything be offered for older adults?
Doing the chair yoga is wonderful. Vickie is the reason why,as she is so friendly and kind! I really appreciate her and this class!
