Good place！

I love the early pool hours. I appreciate that the pool opens at 5:30 allowing individuals like myself to be able to get an early swim in before work. I also appreciate how kid friendly the aquatics center is with the splash pad and indoor water activities. The gym equipment is also fairly new. Recently, before the end of the lockdown/masking measures, my wife appreciated the exercise classes being streamed and still being streamed so she can participate even when the class is full.

I like the Ymca facility . But it could be larger. The pool needs to be made larger and the weight room should be larger. I tried to get in touch with the Manager for 3 months and cannot with regards to Programming particularly a summer basketball program for girls in High School with some big names to come in. No response. I was very disappointed .

Great place to be!

Everyone is helpful and friendly I haven't gotten to try any programs or activities yet

Equipment is very diverse and I can adjust my routine based upon what is there

Love the variety of classes. The instructors are all very good, very helpful and encouraging!

Variety

I like that your exercise equipment has little TVs in them. Makes the time go buy much faster.

Everything is safe and clean!

For me, the Silver Sneaker program is of paramount importance in my life. During the Covid year, my health and mobility deteriorated. For months I watched my e-mail to see when it might open up again, but I never saw any notice. The last week in June 2021, a friend of mine informed me about the resumption of a register-only class, and I did just that. I am working hard to build myself back. I desperately need the class for my whole health. I have connected with many new friends and look forward to adding more.

I am disturbed, however, that attendance is limited to first-come-first-served much smaller attendance. I have seen no explanation as to why we are relegated to half a gym where hearing is difficult and to a limited number of chairs. Are we not returning to the big activity room? Pre-Covid our class regularly attended 50-60 Senior citizens. What are the Y circumstances that require Senior members to lack the services that are so critical to our ability to live independently and in reasonably good health? Are there any plans to once again emphasize Senior health and well-being? I do love the Y and am hoping to see Seniors experiencing the full Silver Sneaker emphasis.

Pleasant. Easy to use.

My work schedule is erratic. I can only come in the early morning and then I swim. Beautiful pool!

Flexibility and availability

I first went to Whitaker to take advantage of the walking track on the second floor -- 16 laps equals about a mile, though I always wish the track was longer because 16 circuits seem impossibly long for a mile.

Whitaker is a beautiful facility. The staff always greet me by name when I wave my membership card in the reader.

This week I began attending the aqua fitness classes. I have balance issues and have to be careful not to slip and fall in wet areas, but to my delight I found that Whitaker's aqua area floors are concrete and nearly slip proof.

The aqua fitness instructors have all been wonderful, and the repeat members clearly enjoy the classes. I'm looking forward to taking David Cubine's tai chi at Whitaker next month.
