Abby instructor for Senior Water Exercise--We lost Will to the new Preschool and I was worried that we would get some one who was disorganized and hard to follow. Abby is always prepared and keeps up the pace throughout the session. She's a gem!!

The Y is a great place. The staff are friendly and attentive and I never feel like I don't belong. I feel comfortable working out and don't feel judged or unwelcomed.

Pool walking track
It's like another family. I love it.
The sauna, steam room, and hot tub is quite a delight after work.
Please people at the front desk that are knowledgeable or if they don't know find out the answer. Clean environment and the people that work so hard to keep the place clean take pride in their work and are pleasant - and some even workout. Owen is very pleasant and helpful. Trainers are knowledgeable and great to work with - David.
Overall great experience.
I like that we are working out together as a family. We try to get to the Y 3-4 times a week and look forward to the two hours that’s just for us…. We enjoy the classes, pool, and the exercise equipment. The number one thing we love are the training options. Our son loves doing sports training with WJ.
