I work with a personal trainer, Litha. He has helped me reach goals I never even thought were possible.

It went well overall. I would love some updates to facilities. Also, I did not appreciate having to pay to park. Everything else was great!

I think that the facilities are great. It is a clean facility. I think that I can always get the machines that I want. I feel like it is a comfortable place to exercise.

I have a personal trainer and my experience with the trainer is fantastic. I can't say enough nice things. They are awesome. They don't have anything that is broken in there. If something is broken, it usually takes them a day to fix it. The only problem is with their hours of availability. I work second shift so if it's 11 pm by the time I feel like going to the gym, they are not open, which is kind of a bummer. I would use their services again.

This is a very nice facility. The women's locker room is clean and pleasant. I am not a big one for using locker rooms, but am very comfortable here with working out at the Y in the morning, changing and showering there in preparation for work. The cycling classes on Monday and Wednesday nights are incredible. Intense exercise, loud music and inspiring instructions and encouragement from Maria, the instructor.

The only negative is that this Y doesn't have a pool, but it does have a wonderful old style basketball gym. The cardio equipment is separate from the weight machines which is nice. The staff is always friendly and willing to answer any questions about the equipment. The locker rooms are nice. Overall, it is a nice place to workout in.

I work out there during my lunch hour and find it to be a convenient location downtown. They have pretty good fitness classes and very good equipment. My only complaint is the locker rooms, especially the showers, could be a little cleaner but they have improved since they hired a new manager in the past year. The people there are very friendly and they are always looking for ways to improve their facilities and offerings.

The instructor was great, you see the lessons were for babies and toddlers 6 months to 3 years of age, and she was so great at making the little ones feel completely at ease with fun songs and activities. My son is definitely more comfortable with the water, and I'll be taking him back for lesson's in '07 and his brother in '08.

They provide low-income memberships. They provide three free meetings with a personal trainer. They have fun classes at convenient times. I really like this gym!
