I feel better, healthier, more alert after I exercise. I am not an exerciser by nature. I like to sit, read, but I was getting too sedate, and, frankly, dull.
What I like best about the Y is that it has real people my age, my shape, not beautiful 20-somethings. My teacher is knowledgeable, friendly, and the classmates have become friends. I exercise now as much to see them as I do to stretch muscle groups. It is easy to keep coming back to my swim class, so I am not likely to revert to bad habits.
I love the Y.
Responsive staff, good facilities, varied class offerings distinguish this Y. The bldg & facilities are open many hours, both early & late. People are willing to help each other here - you will make friends @ this Y.
Love the lap pool even though the times avail have been lessened with lack of life guards!
Also the senior classes are filled with such supportive, wise, and diverse members .
It’s a social time while also strengthening my body.
Variety of programs/equipment/people. Place to meet & talk with various members of the community with no "agenda". We just happen to be sitting next to each other & begin talking about whatever.
