Repaint the gym so it isn't so bright. The Shelton Y is much easier to see the ball when playing pickleball because they have gray colored walls.

Lap swimming is severely restricted during the time when I was most needed between 4:00 and 7:00 for working adults. Not even one lane is reserved. And it should be. I can't run bike or do most walking activities because of my feet so lap is the only activity that helps and I can't swim at 8:00 p.m. when I have to work the next day. You should do online reservations for one lane swimming for at least three people during the peak hours for working adults.

I love

Feels like a supportive community for all

I'd like longer weekend hours. Another recumbent bike would be good. Keep the hand sanitizers filled!

At least two times in the past year the gym did not open at 5:00 as scheduled. It’s very disappointing to wake up early and go to workout only to find that staff didn’t show up.

Also, it appears you have hired someone with vision impairment to patch a hole in the drywall. I would expect such shoddy work in a developing country, not at the Olympia Y. Another stupid thing is the painting a parking spot with an ADA designation that does not comply with ADA requirements. Now you have created a parking spot that nobody will park in. Absolute stupidity.

It’s a clean, well kept facility

friendly staff, welcoming attitude, good classes

I’d rate higher, but parking is always an issue.

I would for sure for the classes, however, I know some people have said the weight room is small and depending on times hard to get in there. I have also had friends tell me for the price they can go to other gyms

Welcoming, clean space. Almost never crowded. Cons: machines are dated.

I generally do not recommend things to people. I do, however, let people know that the Y "works for me."

Friendly staff, close to where I live, access to treadmill and weight machines, also new massage and cryo chairs

Parking is often a problem, I sometimes give up and go home.

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.

age appropriate, good instruction, fun

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

Too many young kids (13-17) in the weight room. And they use it as a social hour with poor behavior.

> You let people sit on equipment while on their cell phones!!!

> PUT UP SIGNS - "DO NOT SIT ON EQUIPMENT WHILE ON CELL PHONES"

Friendly staff

Swimming pools. Staff

I like the convenience of the location, the size of the facility, the layout of the gym, the people who work there, and the recovery lounge.

It’sagreatplacetoexercise.

F words spoken regularly in the the weight lifting area, that is so crude. Could here it all over the room.

Parking??? It would be lovely to drive in and not worry about finding a free spot. Not the biggest crisis, but a little irritating. Otherwise, it’s a great place!

The pool is cold, needs to up the temp of the water.
