Did my first workout yesterday. I plan on joining my entire family here because they have weight benches and machines I need, the exercise classes my wife loves, and even a rock wall, swimming pool, and basketball courts for my kids. And free childcare for kids under 10! All around a great family gym filled with activities for all ages!
I am very happy at the Dancel Y. Great facilities, classes, teachers, staff, and other guests. A very welcoming and inclusive vibe. Plus, tons of outreach programs to the community that make my heart sing. :) Thanks for the good work and keep it up!
