    I really like this gym and the exercise equipment's good, it's smaller gym the pool's great. I hate the locker room The showers are all open except for one that is nonfunctional. I need a stall, I had a stroke a year ago and need an enclosed area for balance and also for modesty. Also the swimsuit dryer doesn't work most of the time. The other YMCAs have several enclosed showers and then open showers. I don't understand why every single one of them except for one is wide open. I personally don't like to shower next to naked men, especially when I close my eyes to wash the soap out of my hair and fall over due to balance issues. Please fix the one and only enclosed shower.

    As a SENIOR this place is a GOD send to keep me moving and youthful❣️ Nessa is awesome she teaches several different classes. Mz. Billie, age 84, had this active 65 year old sweating as I worked through her aerobics class. I must say I love it. Thank you ladies for allowing newbies to fit in & not pointed out on my missteps🤩
