What could we do to improve?

Larger pool; improved locker room with more than one urinal and one stall; facility looks tired and could use a facelift.

What could we do to improve?

Good range of classes for adults and good efforts to educate members on relevant health and social services resources and issues. Plus kind, helpful front desk staff.

Poorly maintained infrastructure apparently because not enough money in operating budget. It takes forever for relatively minor problems to be repaired or broken equipment to be replaced. The water fitness instructors were struggling with the malfunctioning speaker for months last year. Apparently the Y did not have $99 to replace this equipment that was used for all the water fitness classes in the recreation pool. I finally bought the speaker and gave it to the Y.

I have long implored the Y to replace the lockers in women’s locker room. So many are broken, do not close fully, do not lock. The locker room is as much of a social space as the hallways and exercise spaces. Do not let this community-building space deteriorate further. On a positive note, the new shower heads are a welcome improvement. Is there more change to follow soon?

The programs are excellent. The gym is well-equipped and accessible to users throughout the day. Overall, it’s a clean, well-run facility that meets the needs of a multi-generational family: from summer camps through programs such as “Joints in Motion”, it’s been a great local resource for us.

What could we do to improve?

Weight room is still too small. A bigger space that could accommodate more people and a turf area would be a great addition. Also, there should be heavier kettlebells and a belt thst you can attach weight to.

Lastly, indoor basketball courts would be a great addition.

What could we do to improve?

Allow more swim lanes open in both pools instead of closing the whole pool for classes. Very frustrating that I cannot come at a certain time because whole pool is closed for classes.
