I like that you have various programs. However, at the YMCA I came from, most of the programs were included in your membership. Here, there seems to be a fee. Really enjoy coming to this YMCA. Staff are friendly and helpful and the w/o options are plentiful. My only complaints are the temperature--it's typically way too cold for me. In addition, I'm finding that numerous individuals like to do multiple sets on machines rather than let others work in.
The French Creek Y is first and foremost, a beautiful, efficient, fully modern facility. It's also staffed by a lot of wonderful people. I can't recommend it enough!
I'm a senior who has only taken advantage of the gym so far; I can say that everything is clean and orderly and with only a few exceptions the machines are in good working order.
Martha (Strength & Balance), Jessica (Silver Sneakers), Danielle (Chair Yoga), Phyllis (Strength & Balance, Tap Dance, Tai Chi Easy), Brittney (Cardio Dance), Amanda (AOA Fitness and Strength, BOOM), Moira (Zumba Gold), and Michelle (Pilates + Barre: Tried this class twice) have good classes. E-gym continues to be a useful add-on to classes. The gym is clean as usual. Hiking club is essentially a self-directed program based on YMCA scheduling, but it does get us outside. Availability of newspapers gives us something to think about other than exercise. The coffee supply runs out at times.
Lately I enjoy the bus trips offered, the pool and the pickle-ball. The FCY is relatively new building, nicely designed, clean** - pleasant to visit.
** This is common maintenance item in many buildings: check the return air grilles, they are in need of cleaning, not only unhealthy but also impacts the performance of heating/cooling system. Usually high or in the ceiling, thus out of reach of cleaning crew and out of their scope of work.
