What do you like about our programs and activities?

As a newer member, I have yet to participate in any of the programs offered. However, I highly recommend Jenna for the personalized program on the fitness equipment, designed to help me achieve my goals. It is amazing to have such a highly trained individual available to me, with an excellent manner, with members of my age bracket. Kudos to the Y!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The sculpt and pure core taught by Jan B. are awesome. And the Les Mills Shapes taught by Janet and Christine are also awesome. Jan B always has great music and she’s very fun. I like the sense of community at the YMCA. The front desk staff are friendly and always helpful. I’m sure there is more I could say, but I am so happy the YMCA is back and better than ever.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I am a 80 yr old male. I don't go to the classes but I do use the equipment. I enjoy the exercise and I usually come 4 times a week. My only suggestion is to stop members from going to a machine, completing 1 set and then sitting there on their phone. I've had to wait many times. Maybe a few signs on the equipment suggesting they leave their phone alone while using a machine. Others are waiting.
I wish you had more space so that more machines could be used.

Thanks for asking

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love the low impact fitness class on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. I love that you hold this class in the large gym. You need too. It’s so popular with a very large attendance.
It would be great if you added this class on Tuesday and Thursday as well.
Also, it would be wonderful if they devoted more time in this class for the hand held weight training. Time allotted in this class for weight training is appreciated but not enough.
