We just became members, but Kaitlyn was so amazing with my 4 y.o. He has some extra needs, and she made him feel so special and excited during our "tour". He is typically very nervous in new environments, she raced him on the track (more than once) and was just so sweet. He can't stop talking about coming to the Y. Rene was also generous and kind. She quickly helped process my financial aid and connected personally with my son and I. She also sent me home with stickers to help hype my son up even more. So excited to be here!
Everyone is very friendly and so willing to help locate the proper place to go…and give information about the many classes offered. They made me feel very comfortable as a beginner user of the YMCA PROGRAM.
Love Ignite on m/w/f 9:30 AM. We were informed today that no more mat on the floor exercises (abs) due to safety concerns. We must have mat exercises on the ground. My personal experience is BAD knees, so it takes me awhile to get down and up, but I still need to do the AB work.
the silver and fit class with Sarah is quite good, but moving it to 8:00 AM is an inconvenience for me. The time is being changed for Sarah's convenience. One hour is perfect for my age and stamina. She just needs to keep it within the limits by shortening one or two repetitions.
Basic was working in the Kid’s drop-in room and honestly-he’s the greatest person ever! As a teacher, I note environmental impact and management differently than most. Basco is tuned into the kids in a way that only veteran teachers and parents are. But he did it without having built a strong relationship with the kids. Holy Hannah! That’s a gift! He was differentiating his energy and meeting each kid where they were at. My kiddo has autism and a fair amount of social anxiety and he diffused it so fast. She was swept into the space and the group instantly became a mini family in seconds. They were all doing different activities but Basco was in and out of all of them. One kid wanted to just wait the 6 minutes until his family came-and that was honored and still this kid was routinely included. How long was I there to witness this happening? Only 5 minutes! Seriously…clone this man. He is amazing! He should be training your kid’s staff.
