Member Testimonials
I use the Fitness Center exclusively. My wife also uses same, as well as taking Aqua Zumba classes on Mondays and Fridays. Both of us appreciate having such nice facilities and programs so readily available to us to help maintain our fitness.
Wide variety
So many options! Classes galore, rock climbing wall, childcare, great pool, and more.
Good choice of equipment and group ex classes
Great variety of programs
I mostly use the weight machines when I come to the YMCA. I love how easy they are to use and their accessibility when I go in the afternoon to use them.
I love NIA with Nancy and personal training with Randi!
The variety and frequency
I enjoy the Zumba Gold classes on Monday and Friday, and I also like the Friday balance and stretching class. I usually go twice a week to the gym, where I use six different machines and also a recumbent bike, which I ride first to warm me up before going to the various weight machines.
I find that I make friends among my various classmates. I like knowing that I'll see nice, friendly people there.
The trainers are knowledgable and helpful.
The Y feels like a safe, comfortable and cheerful place to be.

get better instructor for dance class
I really like the senior class. Enhance Fitness, and Leo has helped me a lot on the cardio equipment. My surgeon for my micro valve procedure prescribed continuous exercise to strengthen my heart.
Well organized and a good variety of kids programs.
Friendly helpful staff. There are ways to make suggestions if I have them.
Good instructors, variety of classes and activities

My only activity at the YMCA is the pool. I like the ability to do my own water aerobic routine in the "instructional" pool in the early morning hours. My husband uses the stationary bikes and the weights equipment to maintain leg/hip strength following hip surgery.
