Thank you.
The staff is friendly, polite and helpful. The pool is kept clean and the weightroom is clean as well. They notify us well in advance of any closures.
The group exercise classes that are offered at Ragsdale are great. The instructors and workouts are great. The timing is good for me, although I'd like more HIIT classes in the evenings.
I like that I’m greeted in the morning with warm smiles and friendly banter.
Love the workout equipment, exercise classes and staff. Also the walking track has been good when outdoor weather is bad/ hot.
Clean accessible facilities especially the lap pool and basketball courts that many other facilities don’t have.
I Love this Y. Feels like family...feels like home.
I enjoy the Silver Sneakers classes, because it is low impact and I enjoy the fellowship. I have met so many great people.
Exercise programs and the times available to exercise
Time, excellent coaches/instructors
I was very impressed with the dedication of the staff and the organization of this YMCA. I would like to mention Justine in particular.
Like the way Justine runs the swimming lessons.
The Director Marlee and her staff are very helpful and knowledgable. My daughter enjoys the afterschool program and loves that she gets to swim once a week. I appreciate the easy of knowing they are picking her up from school, helping with her homework, and helping her build strong social skills. The Ragsdale YMCA is a great place!
Love the silver sneakers classes
They have everything for every age
My kids love the swimming. The staff has been amazing and have seen the confidence and skill sets my girl has acquired. The staff always receives you with a smiling face and always interact happily with child to overcome skill sets hurdles as they move to different levels. Not, only this the supervisor make sure that the acquired skill is learned, practiced and confident before new level certifications are granted. Set the bar higher for kids. Definitely, there have been some challenges around though 2023 swim sessions were very well organized with student to trainer ratio for good attention. Cheers and Good Luck to YMCA Aquatic Team

Justine has been an excellent communicator. She responds to emails quickly and promptly lets us know if there are changes to schedules or closures to the pool. Our child's instructor (Ms. Riley) has been fabulous and has made an impression on our child.
In trying to get the initial lessons scheduled, I called/e-mailed multiple ymca facilities and other programs not affiliated with the ymca. Justine was the fastest to respond and the most flexible with our schedule. I would highly recommend the aquatics programs at the Ragsdale YMCA to anyone!
