Member Testimonials
Alexander did something I’m extremely glad of… stopped piping music over the speaker system!!! Now, we can choose to work out without needing to drown out someone’s choice of music, or pumping our earbud volume UP to extreme level to tune out the Y’s choice of music.
Staff I’ve interacted with.have been awesome. They know the answers or get the answer from someone who knows or they will get back with you to follow up.
New and improved weight machines since I was last a member, years ago.
My orientation staff person was excellent. He actually helped me to like two weight machines that I thought I hated. He didn’t rush me or act impatient with my numerous questions.
gave me extra ideas for using two machines for an enhanced workout for my back,
and he even got me to use three machines in the back workout room, which I was hesitant to even consider. To top it off, he had a nice sense of humor!
I LIKE that you got back more Core Pilates classes.
Last time I was a member I was sore that you decreased Pilates classes down to nearly zero.
You offer Pickle ball. I love Pickleball, so I will give it a try at my very first opportunity!
Your bathrooms are just as clean and neat as I remember them being.
You have a new member eight week session, which I think is a great idea.
i will earn my Y shirt in eight weeks! Hope you have blue or yellow!
I like the facility and the people. The space is ample and allows me to workout without constantly waiting. Separately, the staff are friendly and helpful. All together, you all provide a welcoming atmosphere/environment.

I would recommend Alexander - warm, friendly environment, really nice women's locker room, sauna, good class offerings, I run into people I know. However,I have to confess that I've been going to the SE Y more than Alexander (even though it's significantly farther). The first issue is the parking situation I usually don't have an extra 20 minutes to come early enough to get parking. I I've arrived late, or even missed class, multiple times. I know it's temporary, but it's really turned me off, enough to mention it when friends ask me about the Y. (i.e. make SE your primary).
The other reason I've been going more to SE is that they have an outstanding mind/body program - well beyond yoga. The BodyBalance class is excellent. There are regular meditation classes, Tai Chi, and more. Alexander is where I go when I want to pound it out - there are many great weight, cardio classes etc. But I need to balance that out with quieter practices (other than straight yoga). I know pilates and barre are listed as Mind/Body - but as a long time practitioner of both - they are much more body than they are mind.
I'm sure parking will largely be solved after the construction - but it was never great to begin with. That said - I'm happy that I restarted my membership and think y'all are great.
I really wish you would post larger signs about the rudeness of members sitting and reading their phones on exercise machines. I wouldn't mind a total ban in shared exercise areas. Leave your phone in your locker!
