I am a new member. My looong feedback here is a result of the survey that the Y emailed to me after I joined as a member... 1) I enjoyed one morning senior class so far and found everyone helpful by setting me up with the equipment being used. The class was fun and challenging. I liked this incentive to rise early and to adjust my sleeping schedule. 2) I had a limited ROM from disuse of my left leg- too much sitting after retiring years ago. By using the plastic steps and risers, I've regained most of my step climbing ability. I also like using the dumbbells in that room and the mirrors to check my form. 3) I like the ARC Trainer and it provides a terrific workout while building endurance. I then generally use a few more arm and leg machines, stretch on the simple but effective Precor bench-like aid, and then walk on a treadmill to cool down or use the upstairs track. 4) I appreciate the hours that the gym is available, although an extra hour or two until closing on Sundays would be nice to have. 5) The Y appears to be clean, and I can see staff working during operating hours. 6) I am excited about having registered for pickleball lessons in early June. They will be conducted at t

I’ve been going to the YMCA for years, since I was a kid and I’ve never seen it this bad. This has gotten completely out of hand. No matter what time I come, the parking lot is jam-packed. I’m not exaggerating when I say I spend 10–15 minutes driving in circles just to find a parking spot. That alone is ridiculous for a paid membership. Then I walk inside and every single machine is taken. At that point, it’s already a waste of time. What really pushes this over the edge is the equipment. Downstairs there are six treadmills, and only TWO work. The others have been broken for over a year. How is that acceptable? Benches and seats are ripped apart, worn down, and clearly neglected. The weights and machines look like they haven’t been replaced since the early 1990s. I’m paying a lot of money every month just to stand around waiting for machines or leave without even getting an effective workout. That’s not what a gym membership is supposed to be. The place is overcrowded, under-maintained, and outdated, yet nothing seems to change. Unbelievable!!!
