I'm very comfortable here
I think the Briggs location can do better at kids zone, I have a baby, and honestly 4of5 times I leave my baby they all look exhausted and bored to be there and help, in fact they call me to get my baby back cause he’s having a hard time, the thing is that they don’t want to do much so kids have quality time and so the parents can do some workouts
Great variety of classes as well as good instructors. Love having open time for PICKLEBALL from Monday through Friday - 7AM - 10 AM.
Need more classes for kids with discounts for families with discounted memberships.
I was warmly greeted by the class instructor on my first date of attendance at Water Exercise in the Briggs Activity Pool. I greatly enjoyed the class and have been attending at least once per week since then. Great low-impact water exercise.
Seems like parking at both locations will be worse in the future.
Cleanliness and maintenance
Repaint the gym so it isn't so bright. The Shelton Y is much easier to see the ball when playing pickleball because they have gray colored walls.
Lap swimming is severely restricted during the time when I was most needed between 4:00 and 7:00 for working adults. Not even one lane is reserved. And it should be. I can't run bike or do most walking activities because of my feet so lap is the only activity that helps and I can't swim at 8:00 p.m. when I have to work the next day. You should do online reservations for one lane swimming for at least three people during the peak hours for working adults.
I love
Feels like a supportive community for all
It’s a clean, well kept facility
I would for sure for the classes, however, I know some people have said the weight room is small and depending on times hard to get in there. I have also had friends tell me for the price they can go to other gyms
Too many young kids (13-17) in the weight room. And they use it as a social hour with poor behavior.
> You let people sit on equipment while on their cell phones!!!
> PUT UP SIGNS - "DO NOT SIT ON EQUIPMENT WHILE ON CELL PHONES"
Friendly staff
Swimming pools. Staff
F words spoken regularly in the the weight lifting area, that is so crude. Could here it all over the room.
The pool is cold, needs to up the temp of the water.
The gym floor needs consistent cleaning before classes begin! I have a class on Mondays at 9 and the floor is filthy. I also wonder if it is EVER wet mopped. My teacher sometimes ends class with stretching on the floor and I definitely don’t do that. There were a couple of times that a staff member brought in a mop then left so one of the attendees mopped the floor.
Nothing you can do but facility needs to expand! Facility is not big enough for the numbers. Parking is very difficult during prime time hours.
I love the variety of classes also convenience to where I live
The showers cleanliness of the mens shower area is not as clean as other Ymcas we have gone to. Some of the patrons are very rude.
I just have one thing that I wish was modified, and that is the hot tube hours. The hot tube is not open very often in the evenings Mon. thru Fri. Is there a possibility to have the hot tube open more often?
I enjoy the front desk staff who usually say hello, even if very busy with other folks. I also adore my Tai Chi classes.
This is a class that people of any age can do and if anyone one needs help the teacher is quick to do so! She also gives alternative exercises to each activity. She is an amazing person who cares for everyone in the class!
