| - The Y is new, clean, and in a very convenient location right near the library. They have a wide variety of exercise equipment, treadmills, and classes available. I do enjoy a good deal of the group workout classes... Zumba is always a lot of fun (if you're looking for a GREAT workout, go to one of Dana or Terryn's classes!) and spinning is a great choice as well! There are definitely regulars in these classes so there's a nice group dynamic going on and it's fun to workout with people you know. It's also great to have a pool in which you can swim laps! As a "swammer" (former swimmer), I still like to get in the pool every once in awhile.
Those are the pros. As far as cons go, I wish there was a bigger variety of class times and types. Barre classes are great, but that class has been discontinued. I'd also like to try Pilates, hot yoga, and other trendy classes. It's also slightly irritating to go to a class scheduled with one teacher but be surprised with a less-than-desirable one (I have walked out of Zumba with Alyssa... There's no point to stay in a class where there's no energy!). Finally, the pool schedule is so tightly packed, it's hard to find open swim times.
Overall, the NoRo Y is a great, convenient place to work up a sweat and I'll keep coming back!
