Very little to no instruction

Very pleasant environment.

Everyone is nice and friendly.

I have attended the water aerobics class a few times, but it seems to be too large to find a good spot and the locker room is too busy to change comfortably. Maybe more class times are indicated?

Im disappointed that I will lose payment coverage for fitness programs, now that im losing my united Healthcare advantage plan.

I find the staff helpful and knowledgeable. There are times that organization and communication problems are present, but that's life. Everyone adjusts and does what need to correct the situation. That's more valuable than anything.

The Y has an incredible staff and so many great classes like YOGA, Strengthening etc. I have already recommended two friends to join and they have—unfortunately for me though they are in Tacoma. But they love it.
I’m so glad I joined the Y—it has been a fantastic experience thus far!

Pool/pool area is too cold.
Not enough handicap parking.

I've been a member for 23 years. The Y is not just a gym, but a fixture of the community in areas across the US, and I'm proud to be a part of it.

We sometimes have trouble signing her up. There is sometimes small disconnect between the front desk and scheduling.

good classes, friendly atmosphire, clean place over all.

I believe the Y is a great place to to work towards many goals.
It exposes you to many different types of people.
I have made many friends that I now socialize with outside of the Y.

staff is always super friendly and attentive. this is the only childcare setting our 15 month old experiences, and our toddler is in a good mood heading in and leaving.

Awesome jujitsu sensei

I would not recommend this YMCA to someone with small children. The kid zone is too chaotic and understaffed for the small children that are being watched there. At times there has been 3 - 4 babies as well as 10 or more kids in the space with only 2 adults. I feel like babies should not be in there at all, as it stretches the staff too thin and makes it so they are unable to supervise or do activities with the kids.

Friendly staff that is there with a smile. Teachers that know what they are doing.

I love that feel like I belong

Having children using the Y as their hangout is frustrating. There is constant yelling and running around and there are always kids in the restrooms standing around talking. If this continues, will probably cancel membership.

Like to see not all this other stuff and celebrations go on that don’t pertain to what the Y stood for. Get back to the basics in Christ.
$ not spent in maintenance. Like pool things , pool swimsuit spinner off woman’s locker room has not been replaced for months.

There are a lot of activities to choose from!

I like the classes and the teachers. I HAVE recommended the Y to friends

Always friendly

The Shelton Y staff are great, equipment is modern and in very nice condition, everything is clean. I just wish there were more classes, like HIIT, dance, adult swim exercise. But I also understand that it’s a small community so there are logistical/demand challenges!

the facility is clean and staff are nice.

Women's locker room needs to be larger to accomodate the number of individuals using it throughout the day. The pool often has hair and other debris floating in it. Swimsuit spinner on women's side has been out of service for MONTHS. One of the water aerobics instructors does not appear to have an organized thoughtful routine, causing increased risk of injury.

I love the Tai chi Quan class. I also like the swimming pool. However I would like more times to swim laps than 8AM.

Clean, friendly, great equipment. Just need more classes. Wish the Y participated with other YMCA where your card would work when visiting.

Instructors she’s members are wonderful.

Everyone who works there is kind and welcoming. Everyone is welcome there. It is a safe space. The class instructors are helpful and kind. I am learning new things. Shelton Family YMCA gives me so many things to do. Ari Greene is amazing. I love the connection there.

The staff is always friendly, the facilities are clean, and the equipment is well maintained.

You have the best employees. Every one is friendly, helpful, professional, courteous.

I see Shelton Y as a very welcoming place with many options for all persons.

It is a wonderful facility with top notch equipment that is well maintained man’s clean.

I enjoy the exercise options at The Y, however, I really do not like the fact that they were open on Memorial Day, however, closed on Juneteenth. They definitely don’t have their priorities straight. There wouldn’t be a Juneteenth if all the men and women hadn’t died for our freedom. They just want to be woke.

This place is Amazing you so feel wanted and everyone is willing to help out.

Pool is outdoors, which kept my kid in the pool during the lesson nicely. However, when entering/ exit they were shivering pretty hard

Too big of age gap between the kids in the class and instructor was extremely quiet and did not speak loud enough or grab the kids attention for the young age that they were.

YMCA supports senior activities

I've never been there

I love the sense of community, commitment to living your best life, making new friends.

Everyone really emphasizes inclusion and welcome

Everyone is welcoming! The lifeguards do their job. The music is fun when it is free swim and family friendly. Good family appropriate atmosphore. Great experience to be in an outdoor covered pool.

I felt welcomed from everyone I met. Exer cise with others is great at my age.

Great service and well-maintained facilities

My son loves the tumble bugs class and getting to play with other kids and coach Amber!

It works for me as a senior to take the senior options especially RIP. I have mentioned it to other people.

The activity was Miss advertised was not structured and did not send clear message to the children regarding the different types of activities and exercise

We really enjoyed Amber as our instructor

I appreciate that you have stepped up and are offering more programs for seniors.

Our family have been participants of multiple youth programs over the last couple of years. The variety is great but the follow through from instructors lacks.
The programs need more of a planor curriculum, so to speak. We don't use the programs as a babysitter, and feel that a lot of parents do, which means our kids don't get to progress in the programs no matter how hard they try or stay focused on the instructor. Homeschool PE has been a staple in our routine but it needs much more structure and new ideas and games for the kids to play. We really enjoy having the Y and the programs you offer, but they need some attention.
