Member Testimonials
I love the instructors in the group classes. First name removed, in the early AM, is an experienced professional who continually
All the staff are friendly, helpful, and very professional.
I like the group exercise classes and the community that Nanci and Jan build around those classes. I have friends that I made in Jan's class 20 years ago that have become friends outside the Y. Jan and Nanci are really great at creating community.
It’s a safe place for my kids after school
Perfect place
It does wonders for both my mental and physical health
Easy, unpretentious atmosphere; friendly staff; great selection of equipment; clean. The Y supports the community.
that it's the only goodwill gym around.
Love Jan Hudson's Yoga Pulse and have attended some 9 years.
The people. The people here are excellent. This is what stands out and rocks the most here.
Great staff that is knowledgeable and friendly. Spacious workout area as well as other wonderful amenities. Also your monthly fees go towards helping support other great Y activities for children, older adults and the underprivileged.
The Y located on Shea is one of the best experiences I have had with any YMCA, and I have five comparisons. They truly have grasped the mission statement of service to the community. Visually you see the connection to the youth...and the involvement of everyone! The staff shines! The membership director, Edgar, is one of the most welcoming persons I have ever met. In the training department Brian E. has encompassed the role and is "point on" in executing with us in our personal training. Without exception, the staff is stellar, and I certainly wish I had the names of those professionals at the front desk that great you EACH and EVERY time you walk in. They are amazing. The pool staff was great through the summer and, unfortunately, the pool is closed until next year.
One important comparison is the Y in Carefree which has the vibe of this is a "club" with money and privilege. And while the demographics may be different (older population?) the front desk contact, Kathy, is cold and running a business versus service to the community. There are welcoming staff here as well, the guy with the beard and all of the volunteers! But still, not as a welcoming vibe. All of the pool staff in Carefree is amazing and I met one exceptional lifeguard, Emily, that goes above and beyond.
I have been a member for 18 years. I have been pretty happy with my experience there. I mainly use the basketball gym, but I will use the pool and workout gym
Josh is a wonderful personal trainer. He really cares how you are doing.Every session is different and thought out as to what would help me that day. I look forward to my sessions with Josh.
