What do you like about our programs and activities?

The area where you can work out with the free weights, the dumbbells and the machines is large and has a lot of equipment, which is all good. I enjoy playing pickle ball in the gym on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like being able to go to the Y early in the morning to work out. However, one day last week the Y was closed at my usual time. I and other members waited a while to see if any staff would show up to open the Y. I also walked up to the door to see if any explanation was posted. There was not. Later that day, I called the Y to ensure there were not new operating hours. The lady that answered my call said, "It was closed for an event last night." She also said that it was posted on the doors and in the locker rooms for a week prior. I didn't recall any postings. Nor did the staff say anything to me when I left the Y the day before and said, "See you tomorrow."
Since there were many of us waiting at the Y that morning, I think the communications of the "planned" closure was less that effective.
