Love our experience at the Y. Don't appreciate an employee calling us out for a dress code policy. We were not in denim We had cargo shorts on. Not denim. Made us leave and change clothes. I understand there is a policy for that material, but we were not in violation.

I do appreciate you keeping the gym at cool temps.

I wish the classes were not crammed into the small rooms. You can't even move in there.

This is a great "hidden gem", but not so hidden. The community feel is alive and kicking from all of the local people, including the snow birds. The Assistant Directors, desk staff, and instructors are great. The Executive Director, not so much; she exceeds at trying to be hidden and unapproachable, which is a disappointment to the testimony of how these other people have made this a great place to be a part of.

Great facility. I enjoy handball with my friends however, I also enjoy the rest of the facility and amenities that are available.
I also appreciate the Y’s commitment to youth activities and development.

I love the classes, the cardio equipment and the staff. The only thing I would change is to open an hour earlier on the weekends.

I've already recommended the Y to others. I've selected the Egym circuit training program as a good option for me. This program allows a complete workout in 22 minutes using 12 different machines. Friendly and helpful staff. Positive and happy spirits from other members. I'm glad I joined.

I like the friendly people at the front desk, I like the instructors and I like the friends I make at the Y. Plus exercise three times a week helps keep us healthy.

I like the variety of classes. I go 5 days a week to various classes. Deana’s Mixed Fit is my favorite, but it gets way too crowded unless we’re in the gym. I am looking forward to Melody’s Group power class.
The class sizes can be a big issue. Many times it’s hard finding a place where you have enough space without hitting others. I often go way early just to get a spot. That’s my biggest issue with the Y.

Good equipment
Competent, friendly staff… other than that drill sergeant of a ‘personal trainer.’ It makes me cringe to listen to him abuse his clients. It’s way too DI, and degrading for a facility with Christian roots. Kind, frank encouragement & praise works just as well and eliminates the power-trip macho exploitation vibe.
If it were up to me, I’d fire that guy.
