Teachers
The staff is amazing
I just participate in your water aerobics program. I like the Thursday and Friday teachers very much but no longer attend Mon-Wed because Carol teaches from inside the pool. No one can see her or hear her. I wish you could get Carol to teach from the deck like the other teachers. Thanks.
Love the EGYM program!
senior friendly.
The only program I participate in is the Parkinson's exercise class. I like it because the instructor is warm, supportive, and keeps things moving--enough to give you a real workout. There are also two brief breaks in the class which allow for a chance to meet other participants. The class feels like a small community.
I like your classes, the e-gym, and the pool.
The variety of classes and the hours available. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean facility and ability to use any "Y"
Good gym equipment. I don't do any of the programs.
The best community based place into overall wellness for all ages!
1 best aquatic facilities in the SC network.
2. of these, the warm water rec pool is essential.
I am 75, somewhat athletic and an ardent pickleball player. Everyone my age deals with maintenance and body repair issues — arthritis, joint replacements, potential depression/isolation, and often a sudden, terrifying medical dx. Every physical procedure I’ve had — knee replacements, cataract surgery, etc. — requires mind-bending and often soul-destroying patience, I.e., isolation and depression. The rec pool in particular is how I make it back to the court and competitive play as well as dealing with chronic arthritis pain and pain-related insomnia — an evening swim, lap swim to build up endurance, deep water and rec pool aerobics to build strength. At the PA Y, in the pool and on the pb court, I find those essential role models for smart aging. In the first two years I moved here and started playing pickleball regularly, I reversed osteopenia. This almost NEVER happens. (I had triple check the DEXA scan results.) During the 3 1/3 years I’ve been here, I’ve undergone the usual olde personne body fixes and had one shocking and scaring medical dx (fine now). My fallback, always, was the aquatic complex and the pickleball court. (I started pb at PA.). Part of the reassurance is having a full range of classes — trx, yoga, Les Mills, etc. for the road forward and a network of clubs. For seniors and particularly senior women. this range of options equates with survival. Special shout-out to Chris, Simon and your lifeguards, to Carol and Heather. I see and appreciate the new stability brought about by Laura, new exec director, the clarity and communication skills of Chris, head of the aquatic facility. Your front desk Guy w Beard once said a kind word when I was straggling in, just beat down from weeks of recovery from {}#*!
cataract surgeries: I couldn’t swim, but I could walk the water. It made my day. Now I’m 100%.
Friendly staff, clean pool and changing rooms, flexible pool schedule
I have met many wonderful people there. The classes help me keep my body strong. The leaders are helpful. The Y seems to be the center of my daily life and connections with people.

Good variety of strength equipment, also fitness classes.
Lots of variation. A very popular exercise class for seniors. Probably could use more of this. The eGym because once you're in the circuit you don't have to stand and wait for others. Hours are good.
