I’m not active in your activities.
I’m only interested in the cardio and
Weight room
I used the treadmill, delt and pec machine, the lat machine and the ab machine. My goal is to strengthen my core and enable me to play golf. Your mix of machines is perfect. I was sorry to see the other Nautilus machine go away. I walk on the treadmill to increase my stamina.
I like the large pool for swimming laps. The weight/exercise machine room is large and has a wide variety of machines.
Since the Y is in a resort area, I would encourage resuming short term memberships (weekly and monthly memberships).
The locker rooms could be improved by adding temperature control shower valves and replacing the swimsuit spin dryers. (I can only speak about the men's locker room.
Equipment always maintained
Friendly and helpful staff. The fitness room has every exercise piece that meets my needs and beyond. Many classes/activities available for a great breath of ages. A real gem for all!

Good instructors
I like that many people are seniors and not young show-offs in the gym. Very comfortable atmosphere.
The kids love them!!
The programs are for every age. I have seen seniors with wheelchairs and walkers at the Y
and Mothers with babies also. The staff is always helpful and the bldg.is always clean.
We have been at the Y many years and always been happy

Everything
I really enjoy spending time with Family at the Y. My granddaughter can swim or play basketball while me, my daughter and son in law can work out in the gym. I love all the programs there are available for kids. My granddaughter has done dance, basketball, swimming, gymnastics at various times over the past few years. Coming to the Y is a fun time for all of us.
There are so many programs that I enjoy. I love the yoga instructors, I always get a rigorous yet relaxing workout. I can set my pace and level of difficulty. If I need to take it easy I do modifications. If I feel like a challenge, I can do harder positions.
Power pump is always fun and I feel like I gave my all after every single workout. I feel I worked out every single muscle, its a very thorough and full body workout. I find weight lifting boring. But the music, instructor Leanne, the group setting, the pace all make me look forward to the workout.
The swimming instructors are devoted to teaching and thus my son has progressed very quickly. I was nervous about putting my son in swimming lessons because he is such a dare devil but they were able to respectfully guide him to where he learned quickly and followed the rules.
Zumba is such a fun workout after a stressful work day. I look forward to it because I don't have to think and can be silly but also feel I get a full workout.
TRX also has great music and a great challenging workout.
The treadmills and cycle bikes are always working. Cycle classes are always fun. I leave the work out drenched in sweat and feeling accomplished after every class.
I joined because of the daycare. Patty is amazing with my son. Respectful and interested in the kids learning and having fun. She is a treasure and I wish she worked more.
My son is enjoying and looks forward to the toddler dance class. I am happy that the instructor and kids in the class make my son feel welcome. I am pleased the class is gender friendly as dance has been traditionally for girls.
The YMCA has numerous resources for my son and I. I probably forgot some but we are very grateful. The staff is always friendly and kind. Even the staff at the front door always acknowledges ad greets my son with a big smile and is always helpful.
The classes are well done but could use more. Also a lot of the equipment has been removed and replaced with other equipment the is not as functional and repetitive .
swimming pool, fitness center, cycling class
There are a wide variety of classes.
We appreciate the whole staff from the front desk to the pool and the life guards.
I hesitate to name names because I would probably leave someone out.
I recently had some health issues and in the pool I feel friendly cautious eyes watching me.
Also the wonderful music generously turned on for me.
Thank you all so much.
