I would like to give a special shout out to Ruben, who has filled in for Bea a few times. He is an excellent instructor and i makes exercising fun We all appreciate his good nature and encouragement and hope he will be around for a very long time. The 'Y' is very fortunate to have him and so are we.

Pleasant staff, always willing to help, very clean, great programs for seniors, love my water fitness classes with Scott. Scott is an excellent teacher.
I love that it's a smaller YMCA and already I feel like I know some of the staff. So nice.
I enjoy the exercise and swimming in the pool
The renovation is a major positive.
Lately, the y seems to be cleaner.
Classes are great.
They appear to a wide range of people with varied interest and abilities.
Everyone is very helpful!
Roubins is an outstanding swim teacher - we have been really amazed at the personal attention he's given us and our daughter. He's thoughtful, engaged, and confident. He's gone out of his way to communicate with us on issues we've had with our daughter specifically in the pool, and we're so thankful for his willingness to work with us. He's a gem. We would recommend the YMCA to anyone for swim classes!
The variety of classes and hours offer so many options!!
I love all of your programs and classes! You've added classes which is amazing. If I miss one there is always an opportunity to sign up for another shortly after!!
Thank you!!!!
Rubens is a very good swimming coach
We like kids volleyball class and coach Henry personally; as well as swim classes with Rubens
We love swim classes! My son has made great progress. The only downfall is the water is very cold. This makes it hard for my toddler to want to go to class. Will the water temp be a littler warmer now that we are entering the colder months?
Safe and effective classes. My child children love it. Friendly staff- Rubens is the best!
Ruebens is a fantastic teacher! My daughter is only 10 mo, but loves going to swimming with and Ruebens makes it a ton of fun for them.
I love the aqua classes for adults and for kids. Roubins is great!
I like the teacher's genuine engagement with the kids.

We love the instructors that we've gotten to know. Kate and Roubbins have been great! They are very patient, fun, and skilled at keeping the kids engaged and safe.
We love the parent child swim class and it’s a good introduction to swimming though there were a few times where the pool was cold 🥶 so we had to leave early.
fun and variety of exercises
Group exercise classes, especially Veronica Brooks and Allys zumba classes
There is a wide variety of activities for people of all ages across all of the centers in our network.
I really enjoy the classes I have taken like Stay Fit, Pilates & Barre Dance Fusion. The renovated gym is so clean and updated with relaxing colors. Everyone is really friendly.
I love Bee who does the class!
