I love that there is water volleyball at the Pearl Street Y. It really helps with my mobility. I've used other areas of the facility and have always met friendly people and helpful staff.

I appreciate the kindness of people working there. I am 86 and go there to be around people along with getting movement.
I go to Yin and chair yoga with Di. The best classes for me. Di is a gifted individual.
There are several classes that cater to senior citizens to help us remain strong and independent. The hours they are offered make if very easy for a senior citizen to attend. They even have great classes for those with disabilities which is awesome.
We come exclusively for Zumba Gold. I bring my special needs daughter and sister to these classes T, Th, and Saturdays. This class is their social life circle of friends. We chose this class specifically for the dance inspiration, Latin music and more relaxed pace as they both cannot do regular Zumba( too fast, too loud, too much butt shaking for the senior population to enjoy)
It has come to my attention that the Y will transition away from Zumba Gold to standard Zumba. I strongly disagree with that change because that class( even taken down a notch in speed) is not applicable or appropriate for Seniors and people with disabilities. Rethink your plans and consider seniors and the disabled as people worthy of their own ability appropriate classes. Shawn and Brennah Davidson
I like the friendly greeting and the instructors are great. I can find parking and it is an easy walk to the entrance on the south side of the building. There is a good verity of classes.
Friendly staff. Facility is available when I want it. However, your policy of allowing men in the women's locker room is very disturbing. If I had to use a locker room in order to do my exercise, I would find another facility. I would not recommend anyone with children use the Y.
Long time member; love the friendly family oriented atmosphere; all staff extremely helpful and kind. I just truly wish changes could be made to the new design with would allow for a primate men's sauna in the men's locker room. This is a big reason many men come to the Y, many must to enjoy a private sauna. The new design will be a major deterrent for many men to even come to the Y. I'm sure it isn't too late to make a change!
