What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like the aerobic class options for older, active members. That said, I stopped going this year while snowbirds were here and you increased the class size. It felt dangerous to have so many people moving in that size room. I hope you will reduce the number allowed to register/participate.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Love the selection of group exercise & strength classes, especially the small one for women. Exercise machines are updated and available. The Y is a Friendly and clean facility. Though there are some ongoing issues with pool & AC temperatures, members are aware of efforts to address them.
Close to home with lots of easy parking. Insurance started covering my membership, which helps offset the expense of my private group class.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I use the weights and pool, which I like both.

I’m not sure if this survey is going to ask for improvements so I’ll share them here.

The weights need improved maintenance with keeping dumbbell weights tight and pins in the machines. I can’t figure out why people like to take pins for the weight stacks. The Smith machines need maintenance on their bearings as well.
