Great vibes and a wonderful place for the whole family! We enjoy our workouts, playing pickleball, hitting the sauna, and spending time in the pool and spa. Something for all seasons!
I like a clean, friendly facility. Central Y is that
I have been participating in the arthritis water exercise class for three years. The instructor is Pat Wolfe. The class has helped me exercise my whole body. I can run, move and flex in the water. I appreciate the family atmosphere Pat has created in the decades she has taught this class. It’s my home three times a week!
I like the spin class. Thanks for the new bikes. Good choice of classes. Wt room never too crowded. I go often swimming downtown. It is nice because i live downtown.
Nice environment. Friendly.
Helpful staff, variety of exercise options, extended hours, weekend hours.
Trainers are highly knowledgeable about the needs of the senior population and provide very accommodating exercises for our needs. They are highest caliber professionals and really work to learn and use our names.
I just joined so I’m not familiar with all you have to offer, but so far so good!
Friendly welcoming staff, activities for all levels, and wide variety of options.
Heather is an instructor who is knowledgeable, inspirational , concerned about our health, and makes her classes worth getting out of bed early to attend. I’m sure I’m much healthier due to her efforts. Also, she has a delightful personality that makes her classes enjoyable.
the enjoyable fitness classes, the knowledgeable & friendly instructor, the approachable and helpful front desk staff, and last but not least, the clean and nicely designed facility.
I like the mix of ages and people from all walks of life.
I love the flexibility and number of classes that you offer for group fitness. The instructors are really nice and the people that come are as well.
Paula is a great teacher.
My wife (Delva) and I began going to the 'Y' in 2002, right after I retired from 40 years of teaching. My wife had a number of health issues related to polio and respiratory weakness (and more recently, congestive heart failure). Her doctor recommended that she get low impact exercise to improve her mobility and range of motion, particularly for her arthritic finger joints. We decided to try the stretching water exercises at the 'Y'. That's when we fell in love with Pat! The water activities were just what she needed... and she really enjoyed the social aspects also. I would jog in place while doing the stretching exercises in order to reach my aerobic rate. The last several years Delva was not able attend due to caution because her lungs were getting too weak and she did not want to catch any respiratory "bugs." She died of congestive heart failure on November 12, 2024. I've started back to Pat's class now and continue to jog during the stretching exercises...but I look over at Delva's favorite corner in the shallow end (she was only 4' 11") and tear up a little, not seeing her there, chatting away with someone.
community and instructors
I’ve been a member for several years before the pandemic and a couple years after the pandemic eased. I like that the Y is not fancy. I don’t feel out of place by being older. The emphasis in group fitness is on community and fun. I do wish there were more options for dance-based exercise. Zumba is OK, but I would love to see something like Jazzercise (with its weights and more rigorously trained instructors), ballet, jazz dance, etc.
The facility is always clean and well-maintained, and staffed by helpful friendly people.
Love the classes and the STAFF best of ALL. Truly a good group of people.
I enjoy being in the water, doing exercises that improve my flexibility. The camaraderie is wonderful.
Nice place for family , good health and nice staff
