The availability, the simplicity and info on the machines, sanitizing, openness, and friendliness. I haven't been going very long, about a month, but am impressed and like what I see.
All
Love the pool! Lap swimming is my main activity, but I do bring my 2 year old granddaughter to play indoors and out on the splash pad. The weight room is top notch and personal training is an option I use regularly. I frequent all the Central KY YMCA's and Whitaker is my favorite.
I don't participate in classes often, but Yoga is my first choice and I have been encouraged by friends to do Pilates Reformer.
Great classes
The programs are well planned and implemented. The instructors, at least the ones that I have come in contact with, are informed and prepared for the classes they are instructing. The staff are friendly and always willing to help, The environment is first class and is set up to encourage physical fitness.

I believe the Whitaker Family YMCA is properly managed and staffed with people who show compassion, concern, and helpfulness to members and visitors. Activities and opportunities are available for all ages. The facility is clean and easily accessible from the main thoroughfare, Sir Barton.
All the things
I’d like more dance classes.
I'm retired so I enjoy that stationary bikes are readily available when I come.
I am pleased to say that I have found a friend in the Nu-Step Machine. It helps me to remain flexible at the age of 76 yrs. I have made acquaintance with some folks who.use this facility, also. The staff is friendly, and address me by my first.name. The Whitaker YMCA has become a second home for me.

Classes
I like spinning class. The instructors are great. Wish more classes

Love all your instructors. Amber always seems like she is having the best time!! I Just love it! I Love Heather and Colleen who stepped up to teach spin in the early morning!!
My only two annoyances are:
1) when people sit at a weight machine on their phone between sets. It's getting crowded and that seems unfair.
2) dropping bar bells in the performance room. Did your structural engineer tell you that your floor was built for that? The building will have major cracks over time.
Otherwise - I love the Y!!
