Great so far
The friendships made. Available pool to exercise in.
Great staff, equipment always clean and available
I like the vast array of workout equipment, and also the full court basketball gym and pool.
The equipment is just what I am looking for. The pool is great. My only wish would be having time in the gym area to shoot hoops with my kids. Always has people playing a basketball game and no room for us to shoot.
FRIENDLY STAFF, AND DIFFERENT CLASSES FOR SENIORS!!!
Nice staff. Clean facility, including the Men's locker room.
The facility

I love the people and friendships I have established. Very warm and welcoming everytime I enter the door.
Very friendly staff & people. All make you feel welcome.
I needed a gym that had a daycare I could use while I work out and the Y has been amazing. My son has never been in daycare so I was anxious how it would go but they have been so great. There have been times that the front desk ladies will walk around with my son and take him in the basketball court because he’s not quite adjusted to the daycare yet but they do that so I can get a full hour to get my workout in and honestly they have been a godsend! As a new/first time mom, it is so nice to just have an hour to workout and it wouldn’t be possible without them!
