What do you like about your Soundview Famly YMCA Membership experience?

I rely on access to the competition pool for lap swimming, using the pool 3-4 times per week. It's very important to me, and I am grateful for it.

Subject: Quere about signage

Hello,
I am writing about the sign near the entrance of the Soundview YMCA informing everyone about "Judeo-Christian values" . I am Buddhist and I know that many other Soundview members are of other faiths, or of no traditional faith. Elevating two religions above all other beliefs makes everyone else feel like second-class members of the Soundview YMCA.  We are being tolerated, but it's not really our YMCA.  Why is it necessary to do this, unless of-course that is the actual intent?

It also opens up the very large question of which Judeo-Christian values underly the Soundview YMCA? Same sex only marriage? Views on abortion?

Why would you want to do this and bring discord into a very non-discriminatory, all-welcoming environment?

Your respectfully,

First name removed

What could we do to improve?

More than once in past year classes were cancelled, and we were not notified. Classes also with notice get cancelled when school programs trump them. I understand that the membership includes a great deal of options, but when you join only for the classes and you show up to no class or it is cancelled because of other programs...then you feel as if you are paying for nothing because you are. I wish there was more insulation for noise between calming classes and excessively loud dance classes. Sometimes Zuba golden is too crowded and one has to keep dodging other dancers. Parking on some days is tight to find a space even when one car pools.

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

I love the Woodruff YMCA because of the wonderful, welcoming spa-like atmosphere and everyone is always so nice. They offer great classes, I come 4 times a week and take a couple of classes each day. The classes I take are yoga, active together, strength training, balance & flex and step. The teachers of the classes are amazing!

What could we do to improve?

It is too expensive. If insurance doesn’t pay for it, you have to devote a lot of time to the Y to get your money’s worth.

The pool area and the pool itself are very well maintained temperature wise. In my experience, this is rare. I find the lifeguards very nice and the people at the desk very efficient.

What do you like about your Fairfield YMCA Membership experience?

I LIKE THAT THE APP HAS ALL THE NECESS;ARY INFORMATION ON A DAILY BASIS. I LOVE THE THREE GALS AND ONE GUY WHOSE CLASSES I TAKE. THEY KNOW THEIR "STUFF" AND I GET A GOOD WORKOUT- SOME MORE INTENSE THAN OTHERS.
THE WELCOME STAFF ALWAYS HAVE A SMILE AND IT'S A WARM FEELING GOING IN TO WORK OUT.
THE TRAINERS AND/OR STAFF ARE ALWAYS READY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS WITHOUT EVER LOOKING LIKE I AM ANNOYING THEM.
I COME IN SMILING AND LEAVE IN THE SAME MANNER.
ALSO- IT IS CLEAN.
THE ONE ITEM I THINK THAT CAN USE A LITTLE SPRUCING UP- MORE WEIGHTS OF FIVE POUNDS AND UP. SOME OF THEM HAVE PIECES OF THEIR COVERING WORN OFF AND ARE BARE TO THE METAL. IF THERE IS A VERY FULL CLASS, IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO GET THE DIFFERENT WEIGHTS I WOULD LIKE TO USE, DEPENDING OBVIOUSLY ON THE CLASS.
