Love water aerobics classes and body pump so far. The community is amazing. The teachers reach out to you and welcome you. All around, great experience.
I love the downtown Y. It is so pretty inside, with tons of natural light. The TVs and music are not too loud or distracting. There's lots of equipment and I rarely have to wait to lift what I want to lift. I love the sauna. The locker room and showers are always clean. Parking has never been a problem and it's free (with validation). My whole family likes coming together.
I use the weight machines and free weights mostly.
The only issue I have is lately some of the weight machines are in disrepair and need some minor servicing, like replacing worn out or missing foam handles.
I like these machines very much, even if they are older technology or out of date.
Please restore them to their previous conditions of several months ago.
I've been going to Michelle's HIIT class for 3 years. And it's fantastic. I like that it's not a "third-party" program. She makes the class and doesn't follow someone else's program.
D. Bradley McWilliams YMCA is my home gym, but once or twice every week, I will drop into Tellepsen Downtown Y.
Downtown is convenient for me on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Enjoy the indoor track in hot summer months. Parking issues are much better now!
