Member Testimonials
I enjoy Anne Foerster's aquatic exercise classes very much. She's an excellent instructor, allows individuals to go at their own pace but always encourages us to do more. She's very friendly and accommodating, adding several classes over the last year or so. Anne is a real asset for the aquatic dept. and they Y as a whole.
The lifeguards need to do a better job of keeping families/children out of the shallow end of the pool during the Monday evening class.
The last time the pool was closed for maintenance I could tell that some significant and much-needed cleaning had been done, which is not always the case. Also, the lighting was improved in the women's locker room and surrounding areas.
The front desk staff are usually very polite and welcoming.
The programs that they have for family's.
I am a SYAC member. The comradery with other SYAC members is wonderful. The staff is always friendly and helpful. If you work downtown, it is so much more than an athletic club.
I especially enjoy the dedicated yoga room. Small group, great instructors. Very friendly staff.
Fantastic fun group exercise classes in a beautiful facility.
Not far to drive from my house.
Plenty of different machines to use.
The pool temperature is perfect for water fitness classes. Shower pressure is awesome. Friendly people.

My husband & I walk the track 3-4 times a week, and often use the equipment room too. It is a great place (especially in the winter months) to continue our exercising routines when it is NOT good weather outside.
Clean, plenty of equipment, good instructors, welcoming to all
Closeness and cleanliness.
Clean, Convenient and Friendly People
Love all the water aerobics classes and there Teachers.
The East Area Y is a welcoming place with a hugely diverse population where peoples of all ages and backgrounds co-mingle to play and enhance their physical and mental health. Many languages can be heard and enjoyed. Friends can easily be made, and social barriers can be broken. The many programs and diverse activities are open to all to be enjoyed. The group activity leaders and personal trainers are so good. What is not to like?
Staff and other Y attendees are friendly. The Y is big enough for me but not so vast that I feel lost when I enter. The pool water is a comfortable temperature. The sauna is inside the women's locker room so that I can use it after showering.
