Love the separate lap pool!
The Y is very clean and well managed. Great walking track, pool area. The programs are amazing and there are programs for young and older individuals.
Fit my schedule. Challenging for adults of all ages.
Variety of classes and the different times that are available.
Silver Sneakers classes
I don't use any programs.
The Y has a multitude of programs for all ages. I participate in the water aerobics. For the most part the instructors are wonderful. There is one bad apple but he is an anomaly. the rest of the instructors are top notch. There is nice variety. Your desk support always makes people feel welcomed.
I love the overall cleanliness and state of the facility. We enjoy the pool and use it often. I can’t speak to the fitness classes yet as I haven’t taken any but look forward to it. The childcare is a fantastic option as I have 3 kiddos.
Great clean environment with multiple areas and activities to stay healthy working out with friendly staff and friends!

Variety of exercise equipment and programs.
All the instructors are knowledgeable and kind. Staff are all helpful. Facility is clean!
I enjoy using the walking track
I enjoy the facility because it gives me a opportunity to meet older people also because the place is always clean. The one thing that needs attention is the speed of the cars entering and leaving the parking area. They go too fast . Little children trail along behind the parents and they don’t pay attention. You need to occasionally put up a sign for drivers to slow down entering and leaving the parking area.
Your facility and equipments are always well maintained and clean. YMCA staff is very friendly and helpful! Your pickleball activity is so inviting, great exercise, and fun to play and meet people.
Clean and availability
Staff members are nice. Especially, I would like to give a shout out to Tom!
Though I hope the there could be more laps for swimming…
Plenty of new machines and the friendliness of the staff.
All facilities are clean and maintenance is up to date. Staff are always friendly and welcome. I am also able to add my parents' membership for a few months when they are here to visit and stay with me.
Wonderful facility and friendly staff. I exercise as an individual and appreciate the equipment and especially the pool. My wife goes in twice a week to group exercise-a 60 mile round trip!
Aquatics
Yoga and Pilates

My favorite part of the Whitaker YMCA is Pilates Reformer classes (Pam and Monika are amazing!) and group yoga classes (Mary, Dorainne, and Colleen are awesome!). Anything that starts between 8 and 8:30am is perfect because that it's too early so I can get the kids to school and not too late so I can still make it to work at a reasonable time. I am disappointed though that there is no 8:15am pilates reformer class option anymore. We need more 8, 8:15, or 830am pilates reformer classes! Unfortunately I had to go from 2 classes a week to just 1 because there is not another offering at that time. I would love to see more options because these classes are amazing!!
