The equipment, fellowship,
The exercise facilities are great, and the staff are all pleasant and helpful. Only complaint is that the locker rooms are getting old and damaged (for instance some locker numbers are illegible), and facilities like the steam and sauna rooms are often out of order. Presumably when the new building comes on line, these problems will disappear..
The atmosphere—the reception staff are friendly.
Facility and amenities. Also, love the hours.
Love the downtown Y - heart of the community. Amazing staff, great facility, love the pool. Everyone is welcome and you can feel it.

Great people, good facilities. Just wish they opened earlier on Sundays and has kids zone on Sunday and weekday mornings.
Everything. My yoga instructor is awesome. She is a personal trainer for everyone, she remembers our “ailments” and gives us modifications. Swim instructors are great. I have made friends on the trac. Oh Brandon is awesome. Everyone at the welcome desk is friendly and welcoming. It’s all about the “Y”

The classes. The facility. The people. The ease and convenience of keeping active and in shape.
It’s just original for me! Although you keep hearing about moving, improvement etc, which I’m still for, but as it is; it’s original , still positive , productive and meeting the needs
Love this Y. It’s a community that doesn’t exist elsewhere. And Laurie’s classes are great.
Friendly staff. Variety of equipment and programs.
The staff and the instructors are wonderful!
I'm a veteran with the Gerofit program. I find your gym to have a safe environment. Your equipment allows for easy exercise.
The staff is very nice and helpful. I love the diversity of classes available to take! I really like the new equipment in the gym!-Cynthia Harris
Great,Friendly Staff!
Great staff, members, facility, thrive classes! Only problem is parking.
Everything except the longtime fact that the men’s wet area and steam/sauna are NOT cleaned enough. Often it is quite “smelly”. I am a multi decades member and in the last five years I have not ever seen an attendant clean no matter what time of day I visit. Sometimes I just leave.
It was close to my location, customer service was great, the class was awesome good instructor.
THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY AND COUTEROUS.
