None of the classes are geared towards working people. I miss Sat yoga.
The staff is always friendly and helpful. The facility is spotless, reasonably cool and comfortable. Managers are open to members ideas and thoughts about minimizing bottlenecks with equipment use. Equipment is maintained well, with insight realtime help for minor issues. Most members seem to enjoy their time at the facility.
One improvement would be to have a stronger internet signal to reach podcasts or news broadcasts on my devices. It is pretty weak, and signal is often lost
The facility is very well managed. The employees are friendly and helpful, the facility is always clean and has top notch equipment. It offers so much for the cost of the membership.
The most welcoming staff greet me every time I walk through the door. They are awesome!
This is a wonderful venue for making friends while working out.
My instructors are awesome
Quit moving equipment around. It is so irritating to find equipment keeps getting moved when you just get used to its location.
My daughter loves her swim lessons, but the class fills up very quickly. I wish there are some more weekend classes available.
It depends on the age. Younger kids yes, but once they are a little older it can be boring
Once inside, everything is a 10! The usual morning greeter is a delightful woman. I find the Y and restroom very clean and the atmosphere to be friendly and positive. Chair yoga is great, and both instructor Ashley and classmates are excellent and friendly. We all have a bond. The only negative is parking availability.
The staff are all super friendly and encouraging, I applaud them for hanging tough as my 7mo learns not to scream the whole time that I am not in the room.
My sons level 2 instructor is amazing- tall fella in the pink shirt with glasses has really encouraged my son to be brave and my son is super receptive to him. My daughters? Level 2, Let’s them free play after 20 minutes and minimally engages the kids. My kid just gets dragged through the water and has not developed much in her skills. Level one is a mix of either capable coaches or baby coaches. Variation makes it hard to predict success.
The staff are friendly and helpful. I enjoy the pool, Tai Chi classes, and weights.
Because everyone who works there is so kind and friendly! The instructors are amazing especially Ashley who teaches chair yoga!
I really like that there's a wide variety of people represented amongst those of us who are utilizing the Plum Street Y. It feels like an accepting place for everyone.
I've been swimming laps at the Y for several months. I am a distance swimmer and paid close attention to the schedule. But I found that on any given day, the lap lanes would be used by folks who can't swim, or I'd be asked to move to accommodate people with special needs, right in the middle of a set. It was frustrating and very often I was with those same swimmers who don't know how to share a lane. On the upside, the Y was a godsend these past months because I've been training for an open water swim and needed to get time almost daily in the water. But I wonder if you could modify the "lap" schedule a bit so that athletes and dedicated lap swimmers could actually lap swim at given times, and that folks who want to recreate or just float, could have a different time. There were a lot of people going into my lane, or kicking me in the leg or arm.
the y is a very open and friendly place to all people; just wish you had more parking at the Shelton location have had to go home no parking.
The pools, the friendly and competent staff, the available locker rooms, plenty of parking, the maintenance.
The gymnastics class had no instruction, the facilitator just told the kids to go do some things by name, but it was my kiddos first time so she didn’t know what any of the words meant so I had to demonstrate like 4 different movements in a row and the teacher didn’t show them at all which I thought was weird. (Crab walks, bear walk, somersaults or rolls, star jumps, etc)
I appreciate having a place I know I can go to work out in a positive, comfortable environment
The staff are always freindly, the facility is always clean and it has all the equiopment I need for my workouts.
My husband and I visit the Plum street location 3 times a week. Every time we are met with friendly staff and the equipment is kept up even though it gets a lot of use.
I believe in the mission of the Y and work each time I am there and when I speak about the Y to others to say that loud and clear. The Y is a welcoming place to all and helps all to live well.
I really enjoy the advanced Tai Chi class. CHeryl is a wonderful instructor & I enjoy all the members of this class. I look forward to seeing everyone & participating twice a week. I leave feeling healthy & happy.
Affordable, very clean,variety of classes, friendly staff and good instructors.
