honestly is not very many affordable programs, especially for myself . Single mother with four daughters on top of that I am not able to work a full 40 hours, so to find out that the YMCA has programs to help kids go back to school with school supplies and money for clothes and what not and they handpick who they want and yet I am not one of those people is kind of disappointing. Especially when I find out people who have gotten chosen, those families have a higher income than myself. At the main YMCA that I choose to go to along with my daughters are very helpful. Although I do not understand why there is a late fee within the first day./ week , and the late fee is almost as much as the membership. If people are having a hard time paying the membership, why are they not allowed a grace period of lease 5 to 10 business days to be able to make that payment without having to stress out about a late fee?

I love the 5:45 am Tuesday Cycle Strength class! I am sad to hear that our coach is leaving, but hope you find a replacement.
I would love to see more early morning classes, as well as after-work or Sunday classes. I would especially love to see a yoga class that I could attend (unfortunately, the yoga classes currently offered do not work for my schedule).

I really don't do any programs or activities, just use it as my gym.
I've belonged to 4-5 other fitness centers over the years, here and in NoVA. Manchester Y is my favorite - have been going the last 3 years. I like the casual and friendly vibe, the trainers and other staff are professional and welcoming. Lots of casual friendships are evident just about every time I'm there, and I have no set schedule. I've met lots of members for a first name passing friendship, and I like the diversity of the place. Oh, on basics, the equipment is newish and/or well maintained. Very few times is anything down for more than a few days.

I am a senior citizen. I enjoy all the programs centered around the senior community, water aerobics, and low impact exercise. I also like the opportunity for seniors who can tolerate more to be more active in the general environment. I enjoy seeing the school children in the learning to swim programs. I also enjoy looking in and smiling at the babies in the child care room. My granddaughter was a participant in this program and she absolutely loved it. She would say she was going to school while I was swimming.

Always clean, people are respectful.
One piece of feedback, there are so many elliptical machines, and there aren’t as many treadmills. My experience is that more people use the treadmills, and there are always empty ellipticals. I have had to wait to use a treadmill while a whole row of ellipticals are empty. I can’t use the ellipticals because of bad knees and it’s too intense for me, and if there is a way to switch some of the ellipticals out for more treadmills I think it would be beneficial.
Just want to add the staff is fantastic, and we enjoy our membership a lot. Thanks!
