What do you like about your Fairfield YMCA Membership experience?

Outstanding staff. Full array of well kept gym equipment. Excellent maintenance (albeit the men’s locker room is a bit dated).
All in all a very well managed facility and operation.
A privilege to be a supporting member.

What could we do to improve?

Better stand to put all the smaller sized weights . Paint the room one color one wall is blue and one is red?

What could we do to improve?

More classes— dance & moderate exercise at more times. Not nearly rnough offerred on Saturdays except very early. Now that I have to pay again — our insurance doesn’t give us free senior membership, I would like it to be more worth the cost— more choices.

What do you like about your Woodruff Family YMCA Membership experience?

I love the staff. They are fun, friendly and gracious. I am an older adult so I only utilize the gym and some zumba classes. But EVERYONE is wonderful. The facility is always clean. And there is always someone around if you have a question and need help. Definitely an A+ operation

What could we do to improve?

The entire place basically except the workout room needs to be upgraded. Go check out Westport and Greenwich. Your membership would sky rocket!

The men’s shower keeps running out of hot water. I am new to the club, when I asked how to use the TV on the elliptical machine four people tried ti help me and did not know how to use it.

What could we do to improve?

There needs to be more accessibility to lap swimming.
Increasingly more lanes are being occupied by classes, leaving fewer lanes and/or less time available for non-class lap swimmers to use. For example, currently, there is a triathlon class on Tuesdays from 7:30-8:30 leaving one lane, if at all. After the class, lanes are available but only for a 15 minute time slot which realistically makes no sense for anyone wanting to get any decent lap swimming done. I will not be driving down, changing my clothes only to swim for 15 mnutes, let's be real. Why not schedule these classes that allow for a realistic, practical amount of time such as 60 minutes at the VERY least, leaving at least 2 lanes during a class, at the VERY least. This week on Tuesday, it looks like there is virtually no lane available for non-class lap swimmers in the evening at all. What next? Fridays, are already (and have been) extremely limiting in pool usage and now Tuesdays are taken away. When does it end?

Personally, I pay my membership only to use the pool and it's really frustrating when that for which I pay for is increasingly getting difficult to access. I don't come in to use the gym. I don't need to pay $70+ to use a gym. I can do the same for $10 a month elsewhere. What I pay for is to use the pool. As someone with a full-time day job, I look forward to getting a solid amount of physical activity. But this is more than just a fitness routine, it's mental wellness. The pool is more than just a team sport warehouse, it is a source of health and wellness for many, not just myself,
