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!!

I enjoy the group classes, the sauna, the steam room, and taking my kids to the pool. The Y is clean and the staff are welcoming.
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. The facilities are great and offer a wide range of things to do and are always cleaned and maintained well. I've only been a member for a little over a month but I have every intention of staying.
Friendly people, clean facility, great equipment

I like that there are separate dressing rooms for families and males and females. I think there are incredible events for people of all ages.
