Accessibility and instructor experience
The y is a comfortable place to exercise. Friendly professional staff. I also enjoy the convenient
Hours during the week and weekend. They offer many choices of classes.
The variety of programs and the quality of personnel makes going to the "Y" a good experience that is a bright spot in the day.
I recently participated in the LiveStrong program which was excellent. Courtney and Jeff were very enthusiastic and encouraging and made it fun. Highly recommend it to other cancer survivors. I also appreciate the chair yoga classes as I’m still recovering from heart surgery but am really looking forward to joining some of the many options for pickleball. The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful.
I love the classes. I look forward to coming to the Y every day. The classes are motivated and fun. The instructors are great.
I prefer working out in the early am prior to going to work, so the 6am classes work for me and I also like the sat am class. Love all the instructors too.
always clean and great hours. I also enjoy all the child activities in the summertime. Very welcoming and sweet people.
My favorites are zumba and ballroom line dancing.
Basketball court. Nice staff.
Love Pickleball class
Good teachers , varied H2O programs.
I like the community atmosphere. The locker room situation needs significant improvement as it’s extremely stressful before/after class with everyone going through the narrow family locker room and no available changing space for a cold and wet toddler.
Jessica was an amazing instructor for the LGI recertification. The facility was clean and the lifeguard was attentive. What more could I ask for?
Great variety of programming. Classes are so popular that it is often very difficult to get into them so hopefully more classes will be added when construction is complete.
Seems to be well organized, well run, and my daughter loves her swim instructor.
Staff is very good. Owen is awesome with my kids and I think if a child feels comfortable with the instructor, they will be more comfortable in the water.
Friendly, objective feedback
I really love the water exercise, you feel so good when you finish.
I love the group ex classes. The availability of claaaea is excellent . The instructors are all professional and motivating. Overall, classes are diverse and intense.
It would be awesome to have more classes scheduled and definitely more bikes as class limits are too small. Increasing both would enable more people to participate in classes.
