So much variety
Very nice facility, lots of variety in programs for all, and plenty of parking
It’s senior friendly! But what is extremely disappointing are the new treadmills, which don’t allow easy tv access, most times no access at all. And the cardio room is very dirty. Machines are covered with dust and grime and carpet needs to be vacuumed. Inside of elevator doors are covered with some kind of grime. It never used to be like this. Very disappointing!
Hal Welsh East Area YMCA is a great facility to workout and join classes for exercises as well as for education like art classes and other hobbies. It has a wonderful social atmosphere. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There is a great sense of community here. I highly recommend it.
The variety of group ex class + community activities.
The people are friendly and knowledgeable about programs and equipment. The biggest thing about Hal Welsh YMCA is (THE PLACE IS CLEAN) and doesn’t smell! The pool is CLEAN! The locker rooms are CLEAN. The weight rooms and all the workout facilities are CLEAN! Thank you Mike Robinson.
The group playing pickleball and the new nets.
My wife and I use the Y frequently for individual workouts/exercise. I like the breadth of cardio and weight equipment that are offered. I also take advantage of the cycling classes frequently.
The facility is easy to access , continues to update equipment and facility. I do the group X classes snd the instructors are all excellent.
Everything!
The amenities, the equipment, mostly the people.
Having a community is so important.
I have been going to the Group Ex since 2013 and it has helped me tremendously in the rough and smooth times of life.
The instructors are so knowledgeable, encouraging and dependable.
The kids have been participating in the Y since they were 6 weeks old and continue to thrive in different programs.
Thank you for all you do- from the people that keep the facility running and clean to the front desk to the people that work behind the scenes.
