I love this place because of the size, more than anything. I've been working to get back in shape after the military but, I'm not entirely comfortable in large crowds. The size, layout and available amenities really allow me to work out at ease, unlike many gyms that are just a single, open, crowded room. The TV's on the ellipticals make 30 min of cardio seem like 5 min and I can almost always find a relatively deserted corner for weight training with practically no wait for a machine. The separate lap pool and family pool means I rarely have to wait for a lane to swim laps and if I want to bring the kids for recreation, I don't have to wait for open swim. The staff has always been very friendly, helpful and attentive to any inappropriate behavior. Recently I was on a fixed weight machine and noticed a guy just sitting at a machine not working out. As fast as I realized this creep was just ogling a woman on a treadmill the attendant was already en route to handle it. Beyond the many great things that can be said about the Y, in general, a membership to this excellent facility grants access to the other facilities in the area. That's a pretty great value to me.
