★★★★Ashley MooreWe were at the soccer field. Located behind the building. Parking is good, bring your own chairs as there is only 1 pavilion.
★★★★C LatineGreat staff and facilities. New machines in gym. Have not participated in personal training but hear very good things from others. Zumba classes are fun and very well attended. From what I’ve observed many members gather for coffee and social time. Good selection of classes, although scheduling is more aligned with members with working hours. There are a couple days with midday classes geared toward retiree schedules, there could be more. While there are outdoor walking paths in towns nearby but there is no outdoor walking path at the facility itself which could also be beneficial when weather permits and if there is outdoor space to do so.
★★★★★Kristin HarrisAbsolutely love this place. The professional trainer Tara has guided me into the right direction to change my life.
★★★★★CassandraLove it, able to join a volleyball team at low cost. My daughter didn't get on the team at school, so without missing a beat is on a team at The Y
★★★★★Elizabeth LGreat facility! Always neat and clean. Every staff member I've come in contact with has been friendly and helpful. I haven't spent much time in the main gym so I cannot comment on that but the group classes have been amazing. Instructors are always very motivating. I think the thing I appreciate most is when the instructor watches your form while exercising because I'm there to get healthier, not injured! To anyone thinking about trying a group class, I encourage you to try it! I haven't found anyone yet that is there to look cute or impress others. Everyone I come in contact with is there to work hard. We leave hot, sweaty messes! For my first time trying classes, I got there a little early and introduced myself to the instructor and told her I was new. Each time she explained right off that I should do what I could and not to try to keep up with her or anyone else. The instructor or another class member always helped me get the needed equipment from the supply room so I didn't have to hunt around trying to figure things out. After just a few weeks, you start seeing familiar faces and feeling like part of a group. Just an all around great atmosphere.
