I like that the classes are easy to follow and that you do what you can without being pushed into doing more than you think you can. The classes are well timed. The ease of signing up for classes is very easy to do. The staff is very nice and easy to talk to. The staff makes it fun.

The Silversneakers Classes, plus being able to come 5 days a week. Not having Kim's classes times we had before, I've had to take classes at the Healthy Living Center YMCA. I would do more classes but times are scheduled same time so not able to do that. But I feel working out kinks since COVID19. I did bring a guest this lady week and she's signing up this week......
Flexibility, safety & cleanliness
