Clean, new, well-equipped facility. All the staff are friendly. Members are friendly too. I think the positive messaging contributes to this. Pleasant atmosphere. But, I hate the woman’s bathroom. It’s too cold and not private (when the door opens), the floor is always wet, cold, cracked concrete, and the lockers are too skinny to hold a bag. On the main floor: Swap some of the unused cardio equipment for spin bikes and stair steppers. Make room for people using free weights and doing body weight exercises. The free weight area in front of the mirrors seems to be underutilized and could use reorganizing to allow the type of exercise particularly women seem to be trying to do in the nooks and crannies. Not all the yoga instructors seem to be qualified or prepared to teach. Have them keep their announcements to 1-2 minutes.

Very friendly staff and excellent instructors . I look forward to every class!

Too much of the limited workout area is dominated by the jungle gym PRX thing. Some people use it but most don't. I'm not sure where it could go but replacing it with machines for working your core would be good.

Love the YMCA for my healthy goals.

The Y has something for everyone. They are always open to suggestions to make a place for each of us in the community.

The layout of the lifting area is extremely sub optimal. Taking away the second rack and replacing with a smith machine of all things was a big mistake. The location of the stair masters being put where people regularly stretch is a big problem. There is also not a dedicated area that is actually big enough for people to get a mat and scratch. I have PT exercises that I need to do for my core and I’m regularly unable to get a spot to stretch because there is none. The ratio between legitimate lifting equipment and unused cardio equipment needs to be addressed. There are far too many unused Casio equipment that could be space that used for a power rack instead. I could go in and on but I expect that no changes will be done.

friendly staff, welcoming attitude, good classes

I enjoy my time working out at the Shelton YMCA, but coming and going, visually, could use a little bit of help. Ever since the Shelton YMCA opened the landscaping has slowly declined into the state that it is in right now. Some of the items that should be addressed are exposed irrigation, piping, weeds, lack of beauty, bark, and areas of exposed dirt, disorganized, art projects, littering the area, and recent heavy equipment activity that has left other areas unsightly. Recently a landscaper came in and cut down some trees and looks like built a path. The trees that were cut down and the area surrounding them were left unfinished. I have commented in the past about the exposed irrigation system, and lack of ground cover, but nothing has happened to date.

Staff is always so nice. My first experience with the Y,

It’sagreatplacetoexercise.

cool place to workout.

Take the Boomers for Bone Density class. Very helpful to stay flexible and mobil. All instructors are good but Angela is especially good

More cardio classes.

The Y has a great mix of members in the gym, from kids to retirees. It's clean, bright, has good equipment, and the staff is always friendly.

Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent facilities and hours are accomodating to both kids and adults.

The facility has excellent equipment and is extremely clean.

Great customer service, friendly staff, clean facility, lots of classes

All the associates are very friendly and helpful.

Pleasant place to exercise

I think the Boomers class led by Angela Cannon is the most excellant way to gain strength and balance. Her class is so popular we run out of weights. I

There are 1-2 members that take up a lot of "space" when they are in the gym. Loud grunting, banging the weights down, and lately I've noticed there is a lack of personal hygiene that fills the entire gym with an odor. I don't say this to judge them, but it makes for a much less welcoming environment for the rest of us. I don't believe a family gym is a place for people to be slamming weights down, and grunting loudly to disturb folks working out nearby.

I love the instructors!!
The locker room is cold & the floor is always wet, the pool area is cold & drafty.
More benches would be nice.
An additional clock that’s visible from the sink area would be so nice.
Wall mounted hairdryers would be a great addition, especially in the winter months. It’s not easy going out side to the parking lot in freezing weather with wet hair.

Lots of choices for exercise, friendly staff, clean, big asset to community

I like how welcome I feel. I like the camaraderie between the employees and the guests. It's always clean and there are lots of different activities that I can do. Where are you going and what are you smelling?

The Y is super clean, staff are friendly, professional and helpful, and the facility has everything needed to make progress on physical fitness and good health.
