What do you like about our programs and activities?

I enjoy the classes that you offer. My only issue is that there need to be some equipment updates. I am specifically talking about body pump.

The class schedule and variety of classes available. I also appreciate some of the other events, like speakers /discussions available for seniors after senior fitness class, although I am rarely able to participate.

It is NOT OK to use my name publicly.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

i Like the small workout room, but should be more then one bench in the room when multiple people need to use the bench. also the orange matts look dirty and grundgy. if they are clean the aure sont look like it. new matts would-be a nice upgrade. there should be a limit on hownlong one person can use rhe machines.
But so far i enjoy going to the ymca to workout.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I just like the people who work there as the facilities are kept clean and I don't play pickle ball or basketball, but so what. The cleanliness of the facility brings me back.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love the change & new app to reserve classes. I believe it gives everyone an equal chance of reserving a class of their interest. The rearranging of some of equipment is no bad, different & good.

GOOD JOB! WAY TO GO.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I personally love your classes. I have been taking line dance and Dynamic Dance classes for over ten years. Charles Reynolds and Margaret Grubbs both do an excellent job as instructors. Lynn Marcuse also works very hard to fill in when necessary. All three of them make everyone feel welcome and valued.
I was very happy to find I could add my partner onto my membership. He likes to work out on the machines. We both enjoy using one of your empty rooms to practice our ballroom dancing.
I want to add that all of your staff members are extremely friendly and caring. They go above and beyond being helpful and accommodating everyone's needs.
Many wonderful friendships have been made at the Y. I don't ever want to live in this community without Franz Ross YMCA!
