I decided to try out Lancaster BJJ because of the website and how nice Mark was while I emailed him about my concerns training at a new place, etc. I don't go as often as I'd like because I am a student, but whenever I can go it is always valuable. Everyone is very nice and there's a great atmosphere. People who train at jiu-jitsu care about technique, form, and understand the importance of teamwork. Hurting your teammates gets you nowhere. I've learned so much during my short 2 months here and can't wait to keep training here throughout my four years of college!

My family and I have used several of this YMCA's services and have had an excellent experience with…read moreeach one. We started out just with the regular gym membership, which includes access to the indoor pool and a variety of free classes they offer, including Zumba, HIT, spin, and a few different levels of yoga. The machines have always been clean and in good functioning order in my experience, and I was especially excited to see they added a Jacob's Ladder to their line up of equipment. There's a semi private weights area, which helps keep the lifters away from the treadmills and ellipticals, and there's also a small dimly lit space for anyone looking to do some yoga or meditating on their own. The pool is used by local swim teams and ocassional lessons or aqua zumba, so be mindful of the location's posted schedule (online or at the front desk when you come in) before making plans to visit. Nothing more disappointing than wanting to do laps, only to find the space has been reserved for other activities. After those large activities, the shower rooms sometimes leave a little to be desired, but for the most part, they're decent. We were so impressed with the facilities, that we quickly extended our membership to include the outdoor pool, which is large and offers a variety of options for families -- there's a kiddie wading pool with neat features for little ones, a shallow area for new swimmers, a fun slide, diving boards, and a very large swimming area, usually with at least one lap lane roped off. There's limited food at the concession window (temper your expectations there), but they're OK with you bringing in your own food and snacks. We've even had pizza delivered on the nice days when we decided to stick around past lunch or dinner. My daughter has also participated in youth soccer and basketball teams here. The soccer fields are abundant, and the one that our group always used was in good shape. The basketball area is often split in two to accommodate large classes (like Zumba), but during basketball, they opened the full court up for the kids. It's a decent space, and I appreciate both the court-side bleacher seating they provide as well as the large windows so that parents can watch from the hallway. For the past two summers we've used the YMCA as a summer camp, and my daughter enjoys their activities and field trips. I appreciate that they get to swim every week and spend the majority of their time outside. Pricing is comparable to other summer programs and day cares we've used in the area. Just recently I've started working with one of the YMCA's trainers, and have been really pleased with my experience. They paired me up with an excellent instructor, Desi, who has worked with me to help strengthen my core and balance. She's introduced me to a bunch of different exercises, taught me to use a variety of tools (ball, bands, step-up boxes), and has personalized each session so I have a new routine and new things to work on every week. All around my schedule! All this and I didn't even mention the roller hockey ring, kids playground, on-site child care center, kids play room, or walking path that cuts through the property. This YMCA location really has a lot to offer local families and individuals!

Wow! There's so much…read moregoing on at this Y! I was here to conduct a PT test for my company, but I wished I had time for a swim, workout, or something after the fact. It's a bit of a maze finding your way around, but wow, the amenities are amazing. I'm a member of my local Y, which includes the use of about 10 locations, but this one is NOICE! For one, there are several pools. One for laps, another with 2 lap lanes and for swim lessons, and there's what looks like a little swim park for kids. There's another small pool that wasn't in use. I wasn't sure what that one was for. The indoor track is a bit small, but they keep it cool. A volleyball team was practicing on the basketball court below, which could be seen from the track. There's a big cardio room and to the side you'll find strength training machines and some free weights. There's also a large day care center on the left side of the building. So many kids came pouring out it must be a large space! The staff is very friendly and of course there's plenty of seating to sit in the front lobby. There are also high tables where several people were seated drinking coffee and on their computers. This is a very nice Y.

I've had three shoulder surgeries, breathing issues, and back issues. In dealing with these issues, EmPower has been by my side, on my side, helping me get strong again. Carla Beam, who is the General Manager at EmPower, has worked with me through all of my challenges, by altered my personal training sessions to meet my needs. She has worked with my physical therapist to ensure my workouts are helping my body and that I am not doing things to extend my recovery, which I probably would have if I was going to a 'normal' gym. As I write this review, we are three months into the COVID pandemic. Most of my friends are struggling to keep their strength training going, but I am actually getting stronger. When this all started, EmPower did not let their members miss a beat! Josh and Carla quickly started brainstorming and came up with a plan to keep members engaged and working out in their homes. They have offered live Zoom sessions many times throughout the week that have been awesome! I have been working out with EmPower about three times per week since this started, and I am amazed at the quality of every workout. I have very little equipment at home; however, Carla has come up with alternatives to using your typical gym equipment. And, every single workout has been different! I am very grateful to the EmPower family for helping me stay fit during these crazy times. EmPower is not just a gym, they are truly a personal training and wellness center. I am getting stronger every day because of EmPower!

Well, it's been 12 years since the JCC took out a no trespass order against me. My only 'crime'…read morewas to witness, over the course of 6 months, more than half a dozen instances where staff of the JCC daycare mistreated, both physically and verbally, young children under their care. My mistake was in trusting the then director, Randy Freeman, to do the right thing. What I should have done was to call Childline and let them handle it. Randy found none of emails of complaint valid, even relating to instances of mistreatment where I had other witnesses. The JCC was going through renovations as the time and they didn't want anything to jeopardize them, so they made up some nonsense about me. I'm not perfect; however, I stand behind my words and actions always. I recently thought about requesting the JCC remove the trespass order so I can go back. I need the pool like I need oxygen. However, after perusing pictures of the staff and the board, I decided I didn't wish to ever see these people again. 'Everyone is welcome'. Yea, except the righteous Jewish disabled war veteran. What a bunch of hypocrites.
