The y is a great place for stay at home parents! The kids zone is something my kids look forward to every day. The only thing that could make it better is if the kids zone was available on sundays and a little earlier in the afternoons

Coming back to the Y after the pandemic has been such a good choice. There are so many new classes & something for everybody no matter what level you are.

Water aerobics with Cyndi, exercise room
Variety of classes

The monthly fees are very expensive in my opinion. However, the staff is amazing! I also like the sauna at Plum location

I belong to Briggs & another gym. Briggs looks & feels much more clean & organized. The equipment is better at Briggs. & members, I’ve noticed wipe down the equipment after using it much more often than at other gym. Also, it appears that the members at Biggs put their equipment away after use more than at the other gym.
I appreciate at Briggs that the music is not too loud & it is just peaceful background music, rather than like at the other gym being too loud & NOT peaceful music. Over all, Briggs is just a more peaceful & relaxing gym to workout at, with good equipment & helpful staff. Thank you! :)

I like how kind the instructor was. I also liked how she went around to each child, and had a one on one experience.

This is a friendly and safe place. I use the activity pool and really enjoy the time. Everyone is kind and considerate. Very clean and well maintained.

The weight room, although air-conditioned, has little in the way of ventilation. A few fans for ventilation and evaporative cooling would make a huge difference.

Everyone is very friendly

I would recommend the Briggs Community YMCA to anyone who wants a welcoming and comfortable space to practice movement and exercise. It's a beautiful facility and I always look forward to my visits.

Spacious and welcoming. Clean. Parking is sometimes a challenge.

You leave feeling better than you did coming in. Passing a smile along to others makes a world of difference.

lgbtq affirming, no or very minimal tvs, pool

The children swim class schedules and offerings seem to get jerked around and changed with poor communication coupled with changes that feel like solutions that go look for problems. As a family with multiple children we work hard to align schedules and need options to do that. Current direction in swim program makes it literally impossible.

I'm likely to recommend this to a family member or friend because people are so nice, & they have a lot of different activities for people to do, & the locker rooms are so big that there's a lot of space for people to change.

The swim suit spinner in the women's locker room breaks every month. How about having three spinners so that one would always be avaialble.

I usually go to Plum because it's closer to my house but come to Brigg's for different hours and the pool. And the occasional unique class.

I usually go to Plum Street but I was running late so I went to Briggs. Several weight machines had teen boys just sitting on their phones, doing LONG rests between sets so I could not get to some machines without just standing around for a long time. It was uncomfortable and makes me not want to return. I will go to Plum.

I asked for months and months if not years for the concept 2 to be fixed. I used the Y as my main spot for winter training. All the membership fees that we spend and a single rowing machine couldn't be fixed in a timely manner. This is why we switched to The Valley. So many NEW and NICE rowing machines in pristine order.

Great scheduling, clean space, kind, cordial help

I enjoy being greeted in a very warm and inviting way. The staff is always willing to answer my questions and help me to feel comfortable in a very accepting atmosphere. Being older, I have difficulty hearing/understanding the instructor calling out her instructions during the exercise class; thinking an intercom system would be helpful.

I'm mostly coming for the yoga classes. I would like more time options for yoga, particularly on weekends and after 6 pm on weekdays. I can't make daytime classes for yoga on weekdays due to working from 9-5 m-f. I meant to add this to the plum street survey but the attendance for the classes I've gone to has been fairly low there, which makes the classes just a tad bit more awkward to attend.

The main pool temperature is too cool and I am looking for other options to go for water exercise. And lately the room housing the main pool is too cold as well, women’s showers are gross with cracked tiles and black old. Often not cleaned of gobs of hair.

It's great but I really don't want the pool more crowded.

Briggs and Plum are both great.
