The kids zone is theoretically a great resource for childcare while parents are at the Y. However, the two times we've used it the center was clearly understaffed and overworked.
Even though I'm a full member, it is hard to register for classes and programs before they are full. Swim classes full before I get a review from the instructor doesn't help. Registration for children's sports teams as soon as they open and they are not placed on a team.
Friendly, inclusive
My son had a blast Quinalt is wonderful with kids!! Also great employee always very friendly and knows us when we walk in!
Great staff
The staff are lovely, the facilities are clean, I've been able to be more active than I have been in years.
The swim lessons are great.
It's so helpful to have childcare while I work out!
Our instructor is great! What I am finding is the swim coach for the teen boys is so loud and aggressive. He yells constantly-It's distracting and I can't imagine instruction for my child going well with that level of distraction.
Getting into the lessons I want and levels I need for my children is difficult, I would like if more sessions were opened. The instructor for level 1 changed 3x in 3 weeks, which makes building trust difficult.
Appreciate the different levels and assessments at the end of each session.
Always friendly staff and clean facility. Enjoyable being there!
Although the swim classes are good, signing up can drive you nuts! 5am on the 15th of the month or you miss oportunity in the limited slots. Plus when the 15th rolls around we don’t yet know if they are moving up or staying in the level. I’m hoping to get in next month…
I teach a water exercise class. Lifeguards frequently are so slow to move lanes we start late. They also do nothing about others getting into pool while the class is ongoing and are distractive to the class.
I find the expectations and skills covered by different instructors varies significantly. We had an instructor (Grant) recommend my daughter move up to level 5. Because we had to sign up for the next month before the session ended, I had already signed up for another session of level 4. At the end of that session, Alex recommended continuing level 4. Same kid, different expectations based on instructors. Grant was a fantastic teacher and my daughter improved significantly in just four weeks with him. I have not found any of the other instructors to be up to his caliber. I think kids will rise to the occasion when their teachers have higher expectations. I feel many instructors are going through the motions. I also wish there was a way to sign up for more than a month at a time. I would sign up for the whole year if I could.
The instructor is absolutely great! But with 5 kids all learning how to swim at a very basic level it is too much for one instructor to handle. The life guards are available but there are usually 3 separate classes going on in the same pool at once. May want to consider smaller class sizes for safety and effectiveness of the lessons.
The childcare hours are limited on the weekends, when I need care the most (honestly, I wish the facility was open later on weekends too). I'd also like to see more diverse cardio equipment. For example, an assualt bike would be ideal.
Check in is slow, cable reception and channels sub par fuzzy most of the time not enough equipment and room for price of membership
Y staffs very kindly and helpful 🤩🤩🤩
Always clean and greeted with I smile. The pickleball crowd is friendly.
My kids love going to the activity pool but the three or four times we've gone( We recently joined this summer) the pool was soo cold. I have no desire to go back. I'm not sure if keeping the pool that cool was just a summer thing or the norm. I'm waiting to see before I cancel my membership.
I like that the people are kind. There are a lot of people like me there. There are a lot of options for me.
Machines (those without options) are broken or inoperable for too long. Currently it's the shoulder/back machine.
I feel the Y is a quality resource for me during many phases of my life. I look forward to introducing my children to the Y as a resource and I look forward to utilizing the Y during advanced age.
I am back after a break from the Y. It seems more senior friendly that when I was involved before. Parking has improved and I have a great instructor for Tai ji quan in Judi.
