I was there participating in the "Craze to Raise". I was so impressed with the entire YMCA team that pulled off an amazing fundraising event. I partcipated in the event, upon Donna's invitation. I really didn't know what I was getting myself into, but I figured a 3.5 hour workout that benefits our Annual Campaign, seemed like a GOOD THING -- and it was! Patty is amazing. Kudos to her for organizing and raising >$8K. All of the instructors were filled with positive energy and good vibes. And, the participants, over 100?! Wow. Thank you to Hal Welsh East Area Family YMCA for putting on this event. Greatful that I participated. THANK YOU.
The diversity. People of all ages, sizes, physical and mental abilities are involved and welcomed. Also lots of activities. Helpful staff.

Very friendly
Love the ceramics studio ! Nice folks!
I love taking classes at the Y, however, I do want to share that I am extremely disappointed that line dancing was discontinued. It was my very favorite and least boring class.
Many newcomers found it difficult but they also didn’t stick with it. And they most likely complained about it. They most likely had no dance experience either. We were a small group but a fun group. While it was not necessarily a super hard workout it had other benefits. Once you learned the dances it was so much fun! And it made you focus.
I love the aquatics center - lap and therapy pools and hot tub and the classes offered.
The welcoming staff and my cardio swim classes!!
So good for my health! Many, many ways to exercise---you can try them all until you find the ones that work for you. Choose the time you want to come, seven days a week. Supportive staff. Comfortable and happy atmosphere to walk into. Love to see the variety of people who come. Like the fact that art and music options exist. Appreciate the upbeat bulletin displays. Helps me to feel part of a community,
People and staff are very friendly, and helpful. Very kind staff and instructors.
I enjoy the many options for a workout. Facility is busy but clean. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

It's always very clean. Staff and patrons are courteous. At mid-day when I go, machines are always available. I can watch TV while working out.
I enjoy seeing the diversity of people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. What a great community asset!
