the weight room is quite good, however, I've made a request for a new piece of equipment and no one responded to me. Here is the request for the hip thruster along with the bars and accessories. Thank you!

I've only been a member for about a week, but three classes I've been attending regularly have already greatly helped my hip condition, balance (I hope!--I have had some falls recently) general fitness and overall disposition: Enhance fitness; stretch and balance; adaptive fitness (in the pool w/Carolyn) and Zumba Gold. I'm really enjoying the facility, the instructors and people I've met in my classes.

Well, now that you ask, I am not so sure what I like about them. I really do not have much to compare them to. Maybe I should look around a little and see what I can find. I'll get back to you some time.

I think you should seriously consider organizing a Singles Club- you could probably recruit single members to organize. I think it would greatly increase your appeal to the 30 plus folks who inhabit/work in this town and are still trying to find that special someone.in the few hours they have to spare.

Health, nutrition, fitness topics, potlucks, hikes, volunteer activities. You don't have to discriminate against non-singles to put on these events.

IT is a very well run Y in general.

Bathroom cleanliness can be improved, mainly the showers area. But patrons also need to help.

Good pools for swimming, enough lifeguards! Some are good about enforcing rules (diplomatically), but several too timid & pretend they don’t see an issue, looking away. Can you pls. train them a little better? Thank you! 😉

Also, why do lessons go on 12-1 PM Sundays (“adult individual swim”) in therapy pool?? I’ve talked to several bothered by this. It just makes pool that much more crowded/difficult to move around in.

Some have health issues/disabilities & is not easy to avoid bumping into kids, as they are unpredictable at times (by nature). A lesson w/ 1 teacher & 1-2 kids moving around quickly (and not in a straight line usually), is not a good idea to blend with “adult individual swim”.

Local location, friendly staff and availability of stations to work out are important to me and the Ross Road YMCA has all these things. I am starting again after a long break and I only use the treadmill at this point. I hope to use other facilities once I get going in a few weeks.

I do have several suggestions about your activities:

l. The lap pool is too cold. It will be great if it's 2-3 degrees higher. My husband and several of my friends feel the same way. Also, the temperature is uneven from one side of the pool to the other end. I was swimming in the pool the other day and towards the lifeguard side about 10 feet the water turned really cold, I got a cold afterwards and am still recuperating.

2. I know you probably will suggest for me to use the warm pool. It is too small and not designed for lap swim. There are often too crowded too.

3. Since you upgrade the cross trainer machines, I can only use 11, 12, and 13. And I also noticed there are people waiting for them. The new machines has an angle and it's like walking on high heels, very uncomfortable. Can you do something about that?
