Great instructors and classes
I rarely come to the Hal Welsh East Area Family YMCA on a Friday morning, but it was my daughter's 15th birthday and she wanted to start it off there with a workout and sauna.
It was energizing to see the activities for all ages. Truly loved walking through the Y and seeing the programs in action: the art studio, multiple groups in the pool, fitness classes, childcare...just so much going on.
And as a bonus I got to run into Liz Scheibel, one of our best volunteers!
Keep up the good work, all!
Good classes
I enjoy the classes, I like the water classes. I work, so I come in the afternoon/evening and weekendds. I would love to see more Barre classes offered. I am also enjoyed the new EGYM!
I love everything about it, except the confusion of trying to find the days in classes in Pickleball courts and everybody’s got a different answer
great staff, very accommodating. I've been playing unified kickball with Advocates Inc. members and DSP's for years!
