Member Testimonials
Staff is friendly.
I feel like I'm able to social distance and still work out.
When I check in the people at the computers are friendly and helpful. I am anxious for the front door to open because I take a senior van and have to stand outside of the side door for possibly a half an hour and there is nowhere to sit. I am disabled.
Being able to exercise, socialize and relax in the water all in one place. And the amazing staff.
Friendly, helpful staff!! It is such a pleasant experience from the front door reception to the lifeguards and everyone you meet along the way. So happy we joined!
We also love the pool, the perfectly hot sauna, and the bathing suit spinner!
Cleanness, activities start on time.
Close to my house
I’ve been a member of the Y since I was a kid, though I have been a member that attended various locations they have all had a family feel and consideration for community, as well as well equipped facilities/classes which separate them from other gyms.
Friendliness of staff and members.
Love the track and fitness room. Employees are always friendly.
Love the people there. The staff is always great.
Very pleasant and helpful staff
Great assortment of new and clean equipment with friendly staff! I'm really happy with that aspect. I wish the locker room and sauna had towels available and better body wash to shower afterwards.
First is the staff!! Great people.
Also like the pool.
The gym is not huge but they have all you need for your workout, they also have an extra room with tons of weights for free weights workouts.
Friendly employees, availability of varied exercise opportunities
There’s a variety of options for getting the exercise you need.

I like that the Y is family and community oriented. Staff is friendly and caring. When I exercise at the Y it is rarely crowded and it’s never noisy as it was at health clubs where I previously exercised.
