The Stowe YMCA is a pretty good gym overall. They have a nice assortment of group fitness classes,…read morefree weights and machines, cardio equipment, and other miscellany including a nice big pool that I don't plan to use. The good: two flat benches, an incline and a decline bench, a squat rack and a power cage, a wide array of dumbbells along with a deadlifting platform and plenty of barbells allow for any weightlifter to achieve his or her goals. I wouldn't mind seeing them get rid of their Smith machine and replacing it with another power cage. They've got plenty of cardio equipment including the usual suspects of ellipticals, treadmills, stationary cycles, stair steppers, and rowing machines. Their group classes are good and effective, though they seem to be inordinately full of middle-aged housewives with implants for whatever reason. The bad: Hours. Specifically their weekend hours. They close at 6 on Saturday and 5:30 on Sunday. Staying open until their weekday closing time of 8:30 would be a godsend for people who have busy weekends but still want to squeeze their workout in. The cardio room is too small for the number of machines they have, and kind of gross. I see far too many people use the equipment, not wipe it down, and I don't ever see the staff cleaning it either. Their wifi signal SUCKS. It's either extremely slow or completely non-functional. This is extremely low hanging fruit and I'm sure would make me and many other people happy if they were to remedy it. It doesn't help that this Y is located in somewhat of a dead zone for Verizon service so if I can't get on the wifi, I can barely stream music. All in all it's a good place to work out and the benefits do outweigh the negatives. I will continue to spend too much money to come here.

That goes a long way with me because it's hard to find businesses that care about you as a customer, as soon as I get myself together and can travel I will definitely be going back here and supporting them. If you are looking for somewhere that is quiet and reputable and very clean plus friendly this is the place for you to sign up at. I just want to thank them again they have definitely earned my loyalty to their company and my word of mouth about how awesome their business is and reputable.

The place was clean and serene. I purchased the Deluxe Sauna package which included a private sauna session, paraffin wax for hands and feet, a one-hour massage, a facial, and complimentary wine, and a small gift basket filled with specialty soaps and lotion. Service all around was spectacular and Ms. Debra (owner) was personable and very attentive - she did my facial and her hands are magical! I left feeling pampered and very relaxed. Will definitely return again and recommend this BLACK-OWNED spot to all my family and friends.

I truly love them both. The moment you walk in, everything feels calm, grounded, and completely zen. Over the past year, I've seen several different massage therapists -- not because I didn't love any of them, but because I genuinely wanted to experience them all. Every single one was wonderful. But after happily "researching," I've officially settled on my absolute favorite... Samantha! Now I book with Samantha every time for the most heavenly 80-minute massage, followed by 30 perfectly peaceful minutes in their sauna. It's become my little monthly ritual, and I look forward to it every visit. The pressure, the ambiance, the warmth -- it's always just right. Already counting down to my next appointment.

I was once a member at the Y in a different county so I was doing a lot of comparisons to see if I would like it before I committed. I found the staff to be friendly. The facility was clean. The locker room to the pool needed to be cleaned and the shower curtains need to be replaced immediately. The equipment was clean and neat and the floors look very nice. The boat area was neat and the path at the lake was nice. There were a lot of people working on and watching the football games as this was a Sunday. There were a few teenagers inside but the majority were grown adults. Not sure it will be the same during the week but I'll see. The parking lot was neat and no crowds of people. Seems like a mature crowd was there. I saw older seniors and millennials working out. Middle aged men and women. I saw a lot of younger adults in the yoga room. So, I look forward to beginning my workout journey at this facility.
