Assistance
I've only been a member for a couple of weeks but really enjoy it so far
Overall courteousness of the staff, wide variety of activities and equipment, nice pool
This was my first time at the Taylor YMCA for many years. It has changed a lot! I have both positive and negative impressions from the visit.
The positive ones: 1.) Parking is good. 2.) The facility is large and every square inch seems to be utilized. Lack of equipment is NOT a problem! 3,) Taylor still has a working Men's steam room -- this alone is a good reason to return!
The negative ones: 1.) The upper floor is chopped up; newer facilities like the Kraft Y are more open and have much more natural light. 2.) Even though the men's locker room is very spacious, the lockers themselves are not. My locker bag, which fits in every other full height locker I have used, was about an inch too long for these lockers, so I had to empty it out and put it above the locker. At least you have full height lockers instead of the totally useless half-height ones.
In the mixed category, the downstairs staff was friendly and engaging, but the upstairs staff mostly seemed to talk among themselves. I observed almost no engagement with between the upstairs staff and the patrons.
The pool
I love the pooI and the water fitness classes. All the instructors are excellent! I also like being able to bring my grandchildren to swim.The dome is terrific and makes it so nice to be able to come all year round.
I’ve attended a few other classes, yoga and Pilates and would like to do them more often. It can be a challenge to get a spot in those classes!
The instructors I’ve encountered there are also excellent!
I really love the Thrive classes. So far I have been pretty lucky to be able to sign for the classes I go to.
The Thrive classes and the instructors.
Consistency of staff they do a great job
I like the feeling of community…. The qualified instructors and staff, the friendliness of the front desk staff, the diversity of class offerings, and the mission.
What I don’t like is the app! It’s so clunky to use. :-(
Close to home
Plenty of workout equipment in good working order
Lots of classes
Friendly staff
Everything but especially the instructors at Taylor. I also go to morrisville aquatics center for fitness classes and Taylor's instructors are heads and tails better, especially Nan, Romaine, Donna and Stephanie.
Took off one star for the awful pool locker room. Gross and no privacy whatsoever
Also... whoever is in charge of keeping group fitness center clean needs to vacuum every nook and cranny. When we get down on the floor, there is
hair everywhere. Yuck.
Love the staff. Love the facilities. Always clean. Great selection of equipment and the facility as a whole has great amenities. Also a great value for the cost. Also everyone is friendly, it’s a great community.
Really appreciate the amount of volleyball you provide. It serves a fairly large group of people, both men and women. It's nice to see gym time given to a sport other than basketball.
We enjoyed being able to keep our training up while running half marathons. Though we don’t run that far anymore we do try to maintain our fitness and increase our flexibility with training and excercise programs at the Y. During the summer we enjoy a few hours a day poolside!
The thrive instructors give guidance to those of a mature age which is appreciated by many. They also have time to answer questions.
Although there is Chair Yoga, I also wish there was Mat yoga geared to folks less flexible and using more props to widen the pose agenda
I also enjoy the Zumba and kickboxing.
Staff have always be open and professional. It is a welcoming place although the track is a little dark and depressing. - ask art students to create a project to brighten things up.
Clean & organized, friendly & helpful staff, lots of amenities, great programs…
Friendly environment.
Taylor Y is a very safe and friendly space. It's a diverse community and everyone seems to be welcome and included. Really like my yoga classes and teachers there.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is laid back. My son loves camp there in the summers. He also participates in the Leadership club. It has been very rewarding for him. The facilities are always clean and equipment is consistently replaced for newer equipment.
Great staff and equipment. Love the new earlier hours too.
My only complaint is that the upstairs weight room is soooo hot.
Convenient, safe environment that my daughter loves. Some staff turnover at times but supportive supervisors fill in as needed
Excellent staff at front desk. Excellent instructions m-f at 5:45 or 6 am for the classes at the Taylor Y.
Great classes and friendly staff!
Love the place! Such a great vibe. So friendly and unpretentious.
