For me personally, I have found a "family" of friends at the Boulder Y that enhance my Y time.
And they promote my positive feelings about maintaining my health and fitness.
I've been going to the Boulder YMCA, off and on depending where I was living, for many years Now I go there for light workouts and socializing. I enjoy my visits.
I like that I know the staff, there is a mix of ages, classes are good with great instructors, great child care options, sense of community and fellowship
The Boulder Y is well equipped and provides a safe and pleasant environment for working out. The personal trainers seem dedicated and knowledgeable and staff keep the facility clean and welcoming.
