The facility is terrific, the classes are great, and the staff is wonderful and friendly.
I’ve never been to this facility.
Swimming pool area is very cold back to women changing room.
I love the variety of classes I can take that are included in my membership
The facility is
Clean and friendly
Everyone is so helpful and friendly. One thing that I personally do not care for is a life guard that wears pajama pants on the job. Very unprofessional.
Clean pool and nice staff
Angela is a very knowledgeable and helpful instructor. The bone density for boomers class is the only reason I attend the YMCA and it's been a very good class for me.
Cleanliness of facilities, excellent instructors, courteous, friendly and welcoming staff make my day every time I’m at the YMCA. Thank you all. I appreciate you. ❤️
Friendly staff, clean facility, lots to choose from
Purchase more equipment (weights and sturdy chairs) for the Bone Density for Boomers class. Angela and Makayla are excellent inspirational teachers. Classes are growing weekly. It amazes me that you don’t provide adequate equipment for your most successful classes! Flimsy chairs are unsafe. People must bring their own equipment. YMCA can do better than this! Support your best teachers!
I love the classes and how friendly everyone is.
Great classes like Tai Chi
Clean. friendly, fun helpful
everyone is friendly and helpful
More rec swim hours.
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.
