Member Testimonials
The staff are all amazing. They have something for all ages. Being 74, the thrive classes are just what I need to stay strong. I can utilize the chair if I need too. We have a great pool, which is opened 365 days a year. Weather permitting. When it is cold outside the pool is heated.
We have a 55 and over group, where we go out to eat. Go to museums, and went to the state fair, transportation is included.
Location to residence. Staff is extremely friendly and courteous. Equipment is well maintained and the facility is clean.
Most of all the classes the instructors and the people that work the front desk. A great place to go an work out and also meet nice people.
The staff is very friendly and helpful; the infrastructure is good and the schedule is fine
Love the Thrive classes, although some are very crowded. I always reserve a spot but apparently many people just come without reserving a spot. We frequently run out of chairs. I wish there was an indoor pool. The variation in the temperature of the outside pool does not work for me as my leukemia makes me very sensitive to cold. And of course it closes with every weather event.
Everything...classes, instructors, equipment, front desk personnel.
It’s a very positive environment and doesn’t seem overcrowded
I love the Water Aerobics and the instructors. I just wish that there was an indoor pool which I know is not possible but I love to swim and the weather is getting so cold. Yes the water is heated but it's just getting out in the cold is what's so horrible.🥶
I also believe that there should be cameras outside by the swimming pool in the summertime. I have seen strangers come in through the gates that did not check in. They were watching young girls and taking pictures of them and following them to the bathroom. Several times when I saw this, I went to the bathroom to make sure that those girls were Safe. I did report this to one of the administrators at the front desk.
I love the YMCA and it has helped me in so many ways with my indoor knee. It was the best therapy ever and I'm so thankful to God for the Water Aerobics class!
The treadmills and the upstairs weightlifting equipment. It is so crowded up there and it's hard to ever get a chance to get a chance on the machines, too many of these kids are looking at their phone while sitting on the equipment not actually using them. It's just frustrating..Thank you for everything you do for the YMCA. It's a wonderful place and I highly recommended to all my friends.🙌🏻💕
Well organized gym
Mostly everything is very good, the staff is very cordial and helpful. However, staff needs to monitor the equipment workout area to assure that clients who use the equipment clean/disinfect the equipment after use, especially now during cold/flu/covid . Also educate clients in protocol of using a work out areas, keep convo’s low and personal, the person on the equipment next to them does not need or care to hear their conversations.
Timely replies from the youth director addressing all my questions. Easy sign up. Reasonable pricing. Great coaching as well as team and skill development. It’s been a great learning and fun experience for my son.
Variety of classes and clean facility

Covenience and cleanliness and friendly staff.
Staff that works there.
The classes, instructors, other members and the puzzles.
Also that more fans were added to the flex room.
Things to work on:
cleaning the air vents. They are really dirty.
also I do not like people taking videos in class. I prefer my privacy.

Few surveys
Staff very professional and cleanliness of the gym
Just heard from Meg the Lower Body Blast on Thursday at 5:30 will be discontinued. Everyone in the class was disappointed to hear this news. She is a great instructor and YMCA should consider her for another similar class as a replacement.
Also, can you put a little more space between treadmills upstairs? The guy next to me was running and his sweat was hitting my arm, so I had to quit.

Cleanliness
Equipment
Comfortable lockers
