Member Testimonials
Wide variety of activities to choose from. Excellent physical fitnesses facility with layers of options. Always friendly helpful staff.
My only recommendation is to make locker rooms larger because they get overcrowded easily during peak periods because the Tom Taylor YMCA has become so popular with locals.
Clean. Nice staff.
Awesome staff!
It looks like you got more 12lb. dumbbells- Thanks!!!
Please fix the rowing machines or tell us you can't. We pay membership dues and expect equipment to work.
love, love, love this facility, organization, and the amazing contributions the TTFY makes to our community. We have been members for a year. Muscle Up with Rana, Terri, and Katie have been more effective, fun, and transformative classes for me, and I am very disappointed that some are being replaced by Body Pump...In Muscle Up, the strength, mobility, weight training, is all PERFECT for a menopausal woman such as myself. Controlled movements have allowed me to build strength and increase my weights & reps- safely. No crazy cortisol spikes and no injuries. I am hoping you keep Katie & bring Terri back thank you for still having Rana do Muscle Up.
I've discovered Benicia's (dance) zumba class plus your Thai Chi classes. Now, I'm thinking about adding yoga. You're a great community builder- thanks!
Why change what worked? ? NO, chair yoga didn't work in the gym and doesn't work now- too big, too loud. Won't attend..
I'm very disappointed with the planned schedule changes for circuit training on T & Th. It wrecks my schedule for M-W-F classes.
Do not like the new days for silver fit classes. Circuit training will now not be available on T & Th, I can't do Wed.
They're changing days and timing of circuit class- not OK. This class is perfect for osteo- to accommodate changes I would have to change all of my volunteer work.
Adult pickleball ages seem to have changed? We had several "new" players that are very young and inexperienced. Their games went on for a very long time- aprox. 12-14 of our regular group had to wait forever to play.
I am a 5 am swimmer m-f and a later swimmer on the weekends. I also take the Saturday TRX class . Karen is am amazing teacher So helpful and enthusiastic. Martin is great as well .
I realize it is hard to keep lifeguards and get them to go in early .
Please have someone to remember to turn on the steam room in the women’s locker room everyday . That has been an issue lately especially on Saturday.
Also the lockers in the women’s locker room need to be steam cleaned . They are gross . I bring cleaning supplies from home so I can clean a locker .
I have been a member since January 2010.
I am so grateful for the Y and programs that are offered and the inclusion atmosphere.
Keep up the good work and work on the few issues .
One more thing there needs to be a lifeguard campaign so that members understand all the duties the like guards perform and that they are the first responders at the facility. We need a lifeguard appreciation day !!
Also members need to know that what the life guard says is the rule .
Friendly, the elevator, and questions answered promptly.
Parking is still tough, but has improved recently.
Swimming class for my daughter was a great experience. She loves it and kept doing it. It was just great. Love it!
Plenty of help when I need assistance or when reporting equipment issues
On the whole, a friendly and very helpful staff. Outstanding facilities and excellent programs for seniors.
The Y is always clean, machines work well and staff is friendly. The steam room is a wonderful bonus. The pool runs smoothly with attentive lifeguards.
I would like to see better enforcement for people sitting on machines while scrolling on their phones. To me, it is just a willful disregard for rules of community. While I understand that fashions change over time, young girls especially seem to wear gym attain that leaves little room for modesty. The YMCA is not a place for displaying the body.
The facility itself.
The staff is friendly.
The programs are varied, especially for seniors.
Many medical plans include free Y membership.
I like the fact that all ages and abilities are included.
I like the monthly sample classes yoga, line dancing and ti chi . I also enjoy the different people in the classes old and young . Oh I forgot the pickle ball class informative and fun.
My family and I are charter members of the Y. You will likely find one of us here each day of the workweek. I, as well as many of the people who come here, schedule our lives around the classes/instructors and types of workouts we do & that keep us coming back each and every week for years. That fellowship and routine is how we stay healthy & why we love the Y.
Monday, Wednesday & Friday 9:30AM Muscle up classes with Rana & Terri are one of those victories. The classes are cherished by everyone in the VERY FULL gymnasium and we all have seen remarkable results. That kind of fellowship is what I expect & look forward to. Today, that group of strong, dedicated, happy, healthy members were exhibiting a mix of tears, frustration & anger after being shown a "new schedule" that feels as if it treats members like we all just show up and take whatever class happens to be going on.
This is not how it works.
Not only have the classes moved, they have changed instructors, name of the class, days of the week, and time slot.
Basically, everything that keeps us all coming back on a regular schedule, rain or shine. A schedule change is a very big deal and the new one has been ok with absolutely no one I have spoken to. Literally, members tend to schedule doctors' appointments, groceries, events, etc. around the workout schedule that keeps them healthy in body & mind. This willy-nilly disruption of people's lives is not ok. It was not broken - please stop "FIXING" it.
I LOVE!! SurgeFit. Excited there is a larger spread for it for Mondays. I need to be SurgeFit in the gym. Because should stay Tuesday in gym and SurgeFit in morning at 10:45. No one can do SurgeFit in a row
The 6 pole used for pickleball are stored in the left-hand corner of the equipment room in the gym. It is difficult, especially for women, to pull them out when equipment is blocking them. The poles are heavy and must be lifted out of their designated holes. Can they relocated to a safer and more accessible location? Thank you.
Just went to the body pump kickoff class and it was amazing! The instructors were great about showing correct form and motivating us to lift more! I had a great time and will definitely feel sore tomorrow!
Really enjoyed the Les Mills Body Pump Heavy kick off class!
Great instructors and fantastic music. Can’t wait to attend class in September.
Many things, but right now I want to plead for new electric outlets in the women’s locker room, they are old and not gripping plugs. I’ve asked for this change for about a year now. What will it take to change them? Should I donate new plugs?
Thank you for looking into this.
I have (finally) felt successful doing weight training and it's because of Katie and the muscle up class at 8:15am on Wed. and Fri. I have osteoporosis (and i'm 65) the large class in the gym didn't work for me. I hope the class will still be available as you move forward with new classes. I love her workouts and careful routines- and fun music!!
It's frustrating for my teens to come workout and all the spaces being occupied by camps. One gym should be available during classes so there is a space for everyone to work out. I prefer the privacy & use of mirrors for surge strength. Please stop and watch class when we're in the main gym which is uncomfortable. Please keep surge fit in upstairs rooms.
You can see this Y is well loved just by showing up to the packed parking lot. When you enter, you are warmly greeted every time -- the staff at the front desk are all so pleasant and kind.
The equipment I've used is in excellent condition and works well, so they clearly maintain things. It's clean and cheerful inside. Looking forward to attending some of the AOA events soon.
