What do you like about our programs and activities?

The multiple classes geared towards every fitness level. Activity offerings and fun tournaments. The virtual exercise room. Friendly staff. The three-day pass that allowed my daughters home for Christmas to see what their Mom's Y was all about. No pounding music! One can listen to one's own music or podcast while exercising and not compete sound-wise with loud rock music. Only complain: I was sorry to see the Food Bank donation bin taken away after Christmas. I was getting into the habit of brining something every time I go to the Y (at least three times a week). Y, you do a great job.

I love the group exercises for the old folks. And starting the classes around 11 / 11:30 is PERFECT.

Love the lap pool, rowers, and treadmills. Very pleasant staff. I wish the sign up for classes was not so difficult - I won't stay up til midnight to get into a yoga class!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Need to put up signs to remind people to not stay on machines for extended periods of time.
No phones while on the machine would take care of that.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I personally don't participate in any of the programs, I just like all the wide variety of all the equipment and a chance to go down to the gym on weekends and run around,and shoot basketball. And the aquatics are good, in fact most all if not all the competition doesn't even have any. My wife is still frustrated though ,trying to sign up for cycling and programs and it seems they're always full. And people get very territorial about the bikes and for that matter other equipment around the y like they own it or something! I think there needs to be a notice that you don't own the equipment it is the property of the Y, and if you leave it then you're leaving it wide open for somebody else to come and use it! Instead of somebody coming up to my wife or me and yelling at us, that they were using that equipment and we need to get out of their way! Really?
