I went to use the pool while the Northwest Family Y pool was closed for maintenance. Everyone was pleasant and helpful about helping me to find my way around. The facility is clean. Great Y!
Some things at the Northwest Y that are not at McCleskey-East that are helpful are:
Grab bar in the shower
Shelf in the shower
More hooks in the dressing room
Coach Approach! I met with Shivi who listened to why, for the last 20 years, I have not been able to get into a routine to do upper body. This included how to start and not stop, something manageable and accountability. Shivi and I agreed on what my workout goals would be, and we already have a meeting set up to keep me accountable! My big goal is to have more weight bearing exercise, besides walking, to keep me off medication for osteoporosis.... and the really amazing piece... is that Coach Approach is at no extra cost with my membership.... I will let you know how I am doing in 3 months... just keeping myself accountable :-)
The YMCA is a safe and friendly workout facility for swimming laps exercise equipment and walking trails. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful for specific exercises.
