Love you

Experienced, welcoming instructors. Melissa immediately made us feel welcome and is organized and clear. I loved seeing her work with children--she has a calm demeanor that eases scared little ones. I observed them many times relaxing under her guidance and learning along with her.
Our child was placed in Kamaki's group on the first day, and I was impressed with him to say the least. He loves what he does, and I was grateful to see his respect for and ability to communicate with the kids. He looks each child in the eye and greets them as humans with individual needs and personalities. My child was a little nervous, but after getting in the water with him and him talking to her with such awareness and sensitivity, she warmed up and had a great experience.
Kamaki's demeanor with this students has had an impact on me! I'm also a teacher and seeing how he handled a few situations has affected how I think about my classroom. One of the children in the group was splashing my child intentionally, and after repeated kind requests to not splash others from Kamaki, Kamaki calmly placed himself between the splashing child and my child and continued the instruction, thus effectively ending the distracting behavior. During that 30-minute session, the child who was splashing also yelled in Kamaki's ear a couple of times, and grabbed Kamaki's face and squeezed hard. In every instance, Kamaki remained calm, asserting a leadership role but with utter respect and kindness for the child. After the last hard-squeeze-to-the-face moment, Kamaki gave the child a choice that was worded with such kindness. I wish I could remember verbatim what he said, but it was along the lines of, "it looks like you are not as interested in the lesson right now. Would you like to go back with your parents or would you like to continue with the lesson?" And the child calmed down and was attentive the rest of the session.
I shared these observations with a new teacher at my institution who was having a hard time with a disruptive student, and now we occasionally remind each other to channel Kamaki!
Really great instructors.
My son loved it and it helps calms his energy level

Exceptionally Friendly staff, the best out of all the YMCA I have been too. Wonderful splash water park. I come with 2 little kids and the pool staff open the door for me. They help get life jackets. They also are so sweet with the kids. I love this YMCA they treat us like family! My time is precious when I go to the gym and they let me utilize every minute until they close! I appreciate you guys so much. I just finished my triathlon and I want to thank you for letting me train without kicking me out early. 😀 keep smiling my friends! we will drive the extra to go go this super wonderful staff <3. Thank you
Love it!!!
My Y experience has been a very welcoming experience from the moment I walk in the door, the wonderful workers who keep the locker rooms so clean, the life guards who for the most part are so friendly and helpful. Previously I did work with trainers and had a fantastic experience with them all. In fact the last one I worked with emailed me lists of my exercises I could continue with when the pandemic shutdown occurred and I have been doing them ever since. I only use the pool now for water aerobics, haven't returned to the gym.
Plenty of machines available. I really like the treadmills that have the card games on them.
The staff is awesome, especially the front desk and the pool staff!!! I have met wonderful friends through the classes at the YMCA.
The friendly customer service ....the flexibility hours and the overall experience is great!!
I like the pools.
I do wish that showering prior to entry was enforced.
Then, the pools would require less chemicals.
I like the water & group classes & the fact that once you pay, you have access to everything.
Staff are always friendly and helpful. Facility is always clean and in good repair. Accessible hours.
I love the equipment, and the staff! The locker rooms need a facelift, though.
Clean and secure
