I really like the Les Mills Body Pump class and that it is at no cost to the member.
Also…everyone who works at the Athenaeum Y is so nice. It sort of feels like family.
Support of local community and exceptionally friendly staff.
I like working with my trainer. There is plenty of equipment. And that there is a high airy room with natural light. It’s never stuffy. And always really clean.
The Women’s changing room is nice.
Blain's classes
I don't attend any programs and only use the cardio machines, but I appreciate the friendliness of everyone who works for the Y, the cleanliness of the Y and all the measures that were and still are being taken due to Covid.
Friendly staff
I love the classes, and I love being able to go later in the evening after 9 pm
Great exercise equipment, hours & staff.
Body pump
We enjoy the classes we participate on a regular basis. There a couple of other classes such as cycling I might like to try but not comfortable with virtual classes.
I like that the Y is community minded and sponsor such activities like Breakfast with Santa.
Great blend of AOA classes with flexibility for different abilities. Personal trainers available to customize routine. Friendly atmosphere.
The selection is good and the staff is great.
Too many to mention.

Great and welcoming community. Morning group classes as early as 5:30 a.m. would be a bonus!
