I like the exercise classes, and the fact that everybody faces the mirror, unlike the NW Y. The hours are good, the parking lot is plowed, the staff is friendly, equipment usually works. Iβve been a member for 40 years and YMCA North Area has served my family well.
I just use the pool and locker room. So far I can get into a lane for lap swimming with little trouble. Although I am disappointed that all lap lanes were taken away on Sunday mornings.
Just that it has more to offer a person than just weights and cardio equipment. I enjoy the basketball courts and racquetball areas several times a week. Along with my light weight workout and jumping rope for cardio. No dreading the gym here.
Everyone is friendly and enjoy the variety of classes and the Egym
The environment is very enjoyable safe and enjoyable
It is easier to get than my old gym.
The variety of events is incredibly varied
