We had checked 3 different Ys and between them we get all we were looking for: pickleball, egym, free weights and classes. We’ll be visiting several on a regular basis.

YMCA East is a warm and welcoming place. Fitness and activity teachers facilitate community and foster positive relationships. This is a great place to learn new skills and to make new friends.

I’ve been a member for years. I haven’t gone in person much since Covid to the gym, where I used to attend four days a week before Covid. I have two married daughters and both of their families are members. I love the swimming opportunities for my two grandsons. Sammy was an awesome teacher and really helped my six-year-old grandson Braden. Now we feel very happy to have Becca because Sammy is leaving for college. My grandson had one lesson with Becca and I met her as well and she was just lovely.

There are plenty of things to choose from to accommodate everyone. Staff is very helpful

The weight machines are not being cleaned, or things that are left on the machines are not being cleaned.

Available machines

It would be nice to have stationary wipes for cleaning equipment instead of the paper towel and spray.

I live on the other side of town and usually go to Northwest. I come to Hal Welsh sometimes for art workshops, or to meet with the Laurie’s Hope group. Any friends or family that ask about the classes or workshops I have done, I always recommend getting involved with the YMCA

The beauty and cleanliness of the place, as well as the staff, are absolutely wonderful; many of my friends recommended joining, and I always see them here.

Cleanliness of the facility is a top priority. The women's shower rooms are sometimes not as well kept up. I would recommend it to anyone, like myself who doesn't mind being around the noise and mess of children--inclusivelness is why I love the Y

Mostly, I'm a fan of this YMCA, and all that they offer. The facilities are nicer than some of the others in the area, and the breadth of programs offered is wonderful for the wide range of ages who visit. My daughter has been in swim lessons with the Y for the past two years, and spent time visiting the pool primarily at the Northwest YMCA for two years before that. We made the switch to Hal Welsh because my daughter has been attending school in the area. Every single interaction I ever had with someone on the pool staff at Northwest was wonderful. I always felt very safe having my daughter in every pool, from the therapy pool to the lazy river. My experience with the teachers and pool staff at Hal Welsh has been underwhelming, and as of this past Tuesday, absolutely unacceptable. A parent had to jump into the pool to pull his child out of the water because they had started slipping under and panicking in water too deep for them, while the lifeguard on duty did nothing. Frankly, at this point, I'm considering the longer drive to go back to a pool I trust.

The women’s locker room is professionally cleaned at all times

Facilities need to be updated. It looks dated.

The staff and facilities are great, and I very much appreciate the e-gym.

Very nice facility, helpful staff, and great atmosphere overall.

The hot tub tiles are losing a significant amount of amount of grout which is floating and settled at the bottom of the tub and was stuck to my skin when I showered after. Inside the shower area closest to the saunas I noticed what appeared to be black mold on the ceiling above the middle shower stall. I did not use any other areas of the building at that time.

The people in the reception area were very helpful.

I like everything about the Hal Welsh East YMCA! It's always clean, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly and the LiveStrong program is helping me get stronger after cancer. I'll continue after the twelve weeks are finished with LiveStrong.

I wish there were even more ops for seniors. How about that front part having a really comfortble chair or two, and some reading lamps or whatnot?COuld there be tea, coffee and Iced tea all the time there (charge a fee if needed; that would be
no big problem!_) I also think of other things. One could be made to feel welcome; some of the Staff do that but not all.
The bingo group or Bridge could be "more outreaching" because tho I know those groups exist, I've been relectant to try to join because I sense they
might prove intimidating. Know that may be "silly" but I feel that somehow, at present.THanks for asking all this!!

I loved the hot tub

Staff very friendly and helpful

It was great they added space for kids 7-12 not having that made us leave, with it available we came back. It would be better with more options but at least it's something.

Great! Happy to have found the place where i enjoy it all

Place is clean. I never met any people at work at that mean not even the people that go there that’s a good atmosphere there.
