What do you like about our programs and activities?

Love water aerobics with Tasha on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday…and Melissa on Friday… Several of women & me won’t go to Eliana’s class on Monday & Wednesday—- she is Not a water aerobics instructor at all - not friendly & class is just awful. Most of us would attend classes every day if there was a competent instructor….
I find the staff friendly & helpful—especially Tanya at front desk.
I wish there was some free instruction on using the new machines.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Weight room area at the Euclid branch is too congested. Please rearrange the weight machines near the windows of the pool. Too crowded. Also, please fix the cardio machines faster. One of the stairmaster machines has been out of service for months. That’s unacceptable.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I would say overall it’s a great place and would recommend it. One critique would be to clean the pool and sauna area. It needs pressure washing badly.
