We loved the camp songs, crafts, and new and old friends. She loves her camp leaders!

I wanted to get better balance and stronger walking. I also wanted to start lifting weights, Christine has done this and everything I’ve asked her about to improve my life style she has done.

The Y is small and needs another way to track for people with mobility issues

Yes, I would highly recommend coming to the YMCA facility once I actually made myself go. I haven’t felt this good in years working out is amazing. Going to the pool is amazing playing basketball and walking around the track is all great. I would recommend it not only is there a true community there but when you’re there, you feel like you really do belong to something and you meet other people that want it better themselves

Safe, clean, friendly environment

Ragsdale YMCA is a nice and clean facility. The 2nd floor track is a great amenity. I was impressed to see that the new sauna is properly sanitized 4 times per day. Where other area YMCAs are lacking in overall sanitation and cleanliness,Ragsdale stands out for providing its members with a clean place to visit.

Clean facilities. Diversity of equipment. Hot sauna that is clean, well lit and doesn't smell.

Excellent Staff and overall facility

I like the wide variety of programming for seniors, as
well as the great staff.

All is good. Classes are scheduled a bit too tightly as exiting afterwards is congested by the participants in the next class.
Amiable counter staff are pleasant to encounter yet seem to be often preoccupied.

The theme and the activities that went along be with the theme. Field trip to HPU Planterium was fun as well.

Camp was canceled without notice.

The Ragsdale Y is a large, well I -maintained facility. It is very complete in offering multitudes of options, classes, and activities for all ages. The staff is excellent in every way, and the communication is always timely.

Customer service, the facility is clean; upkeep timely.

Can the temperature of the water in the pool be increased? If not is because of sanitation?

Over the last year or so the water temperature is uncomfortably cooler. I know I am more water temperature sensitive than many but now it is a common complaint with many participating in aqua fitness classes. Also, recently the atmosphere inside with pool area is noticeably cooler with less humidity which contributes to the cooler feeling of the water. I know there is a temperature range goal for multi-use pools but something has changed to make many long-time participants in these classes notice and voice complaints about the water temperature.
I think it would be beneficial to those contemplating joining a class to have the class name actually be more representative of what exercises happen in the class and how strenuous the class is. "Yoga" replaced the name of the "stretch, flex and flow" class and it is not at all a description of the class. While the class is not an aerobic exercise class, aside from 3 yoga poses that are run thru very quickly, the class is not yoga. Perhaps a description that includes balance exercises, stretching and muscle toning.
Also, it would be a plus if there was more variety in the exercises done, more use of a variety of equipment (noodles, gloves, dumbbells, water bells, smilies, kick boards) and if instructors gave more reminders about correct body position, what muscle group is being worked, and modifications to make the exercise easier, harder or to protect a tender joint.

The trainer, Christine, is wonderful and makes sure to personalize my training. If I am having trouble in a certain area, she adjusts my program to address that.

Need more fans in room with exercise equipment

We finally get a deep water instructor on Monday and Wednesday that is working hard for us. Catherine has greatly improved and is trying so hard. On the other hand, the Friday class with Sarah is hardly worth the time in going.

My son has been part of the adaptive swim lessons for 10 years. We miss former Aquarics Director Justine Intiso. We knew there were going to be some hiccups when she left. It seems like we’re getting to the point where they’re ironed out.

The instructors are great. Dimitri, like all of our instructors over the years, does a great job with my son.

Thank you for offering this program.

Everyone is just great! My son loves it! The staff is very helpful!!

Easy to register!

I have benefited from having a personal trainer.

The camp was chaotic and disorganized. The staff was abrupt and didn’t seem very knowledgeable about camp activities.

Dressing rooms, women, are old and not very user friendly for women. Showers are old and not much privacy.

Excellent workout, great instructor!

I've been a member since it opened. I took a break when covid hit and recently came back. . The personal training is great and I would recommend if you can afford it.

Offerings, helpful courteous staff and clean facility. Thank you.

Good trainers and workout equipment, very convenient to Jamestown,

I was expecting much more data.

Being 75, I had started to notice physical limitations that concerned me. Bryan has been so helpful and the results have been tremendous. I am certainly stronger, my balance has improved and I really don’t experience those limitations much anymore. He is understanding and helps me get better every week but doesn’t push too much.
I also like the friendly atmosphere and enjoy seeing adults and kids of all ages participating.
And I also feel comfortable at the facility because it is so clean.

All the support from the staff

This training is exactly what I need at this age. My trainer plans my training according to weight or stretching needs.

Love water arobotics!! So fun and a good workout

The water is always cold and now the room itself is also colder then it was so when you get out of the cold water you are freezing

The staff are wonderful!! They make the check-in and check-out process easy and quick. My child always looks forward to the field trips they plan and swimming during the week.

This was our first experience with a summer camp and my son came home everyday excited for the next day! The activities, love from counselors, new friendships, and the field trip experience is worth every penny! Thank you so much for giving our boy a great week, full of fun. He was sent home with the camper of the week award and although the award is amazing, The handwritten notes, on the award from his counselors, made us so proud and meant so much to us as parents! Thank you all for EVERYTHING! We will be back for camp next year for sure!

We love the place, but we have a 9 year old. So we basically can not enjoy your services unless she comes and just walks a treadmill, which limits me to be beside her also. We have a six year old that gets to play in the kids area, but my nine year old is basically shunned from everywhere. Such a family place, but 9-12 year olds have no where to be. I can't enjoy a workout if I can't actually do my workout. I keep meaning to cancel.

My YMCA membership wasn’t taken into consideration. I had to pay full non member pricing. Then to top it off, the games are unorganized, kids are tackling each other.

Welcoming atmosphere, wide range of workout equipment, clean locker rooms. The music is great, too!

I appreciate the hospitality and the facilities are nice.

Welcoming staff. Clean facilities. Good exercise classes.

The program is designed to provide a variety of educational opportunities

My daughter came home so excited about camp each day. Actually more excited each day than before. It warmed our hearts to know how much fun and care Ragsdale YMCA has put into their program. This is my second time having a child in Camp Boomerang program. Camp Boomerang doesn’t miss!

Would like some more early morning, intense bootcamp classes! Even just a Monday and Friday classes would be great!

I like the pool, the clean and updated facilities and equipment, and the friendly staff.

Good price, lots of group classes, and friendly staff.

Our best instructors have left .

The instructors were informative, helpful, and easy to work with. I'm based in Raleigh, but if I need to re-up my certification again, I'd be willing to make the trip to Jamestown again.

Good instructors and the cleaners of the place.

I was told Ragsdale Y accepted the "Silver and Fit" senior program, but it does not. My husband, who has quit the Y, and I are very disappointed. More than likely, I will quit too.
