It was a lot harder than I anticipated; some of the poses really make you stretch and work your whole body, but there are a lot of variations to moves to fit your comfort level! I really liked how I felt afterwards. Their drop-in prices for classes are not very expensive, nor are the memberships should you choose to go regularly. A great establishment with great teachers!

They offer free mats, blocks, straps or you can bring your own, they just ask you to wipe down/ sanitize the things you use before you head out. Their schedules change monthly so check out their website for current classes being offered. They have a coat room where you can leave anything like jackets, shoes, purses and phone if needed. They accept cash or card for drop in classes, no sign up necessary for drop in classes. Great location and plenty of parking.

There are only 3 lanes available; and if you go anytime after work, good luck getting access to the single lane that they condense lap swimmers down to due to swim lessons taking precedence. There are weird "safety breaks" that occur throughout the day and the last time I was there, I was in my final 25 lengths to my 2 mi swim and was told I had to get out because the lifeguard "deserved a break" (her words, not mine). Mind you, I was the ONLY person in the entire aquatics area at this time. And, she was wearing street clothes; not even a swim suit. I assured her I was of no concern to her and asked if I could finish my training. She suggested I "read the signs" As soon as my training comes to an end, I will be leaving this location. Their lack of employees, specifically lifeguards, should not negatively impact paying members. If I could submit more complaints, I would.

If you wish to go to the main beach, that's an additional $12 if you are not a resident of Crystal Lake. The grounds are immaculate, very well maintained, and the bathrooms are clean. There are two lakes, multiple pavilions that you can rent ahead of time. Lots of picnic tables for you to sit down. Near the bar and grill while you can't go in the water, you can take your drink and sit on one of the cheers on the beach. You can watch people practice on their WaveRunner. Swing on the swings at the bar and listen to great music. I did not have any food here. I did have an amazing Mojito. The bartender was a young man looking to join the Barrington police force. Polite, kind and also had great customer service skills. The reason why I didn't give it five stars is that there are absolutely no markings anywhere as to what trail you are on, how long of a trail it is, and where there may be porta potties. There aren't any maps or QR codes and it was a bit confusing as I came upon several wise and the trail to decide which way to go as I had limited time there. Given the fact that everything is so nicely taken care of I don't know how they can't have at least some markings on the trails that they have there. One of the workers sent me direction and it literally just took me to a pavilion. They have kayaks, canoes, paddle boats and SUP boards. They also offer lessons for SUP depending on the day. Lots of people fishing. Amazing Place! Please add signage for the trails! The pop and water machine near the beach entrance did not work. Hopefully those are checked daily to repair.

Buuut sometimes I need a good crack to release the tightness and Amy is your girl for that. 2. It's easy in and out. The wait is minimal and the adjustment is quick. If you're busy this is a great plus. 3. The atmosphere they provide is calm and caring. You really feel good being in their space. And you know they care about you. That's priceless. 4. They have a nutritionist, Carrie, that brings a whole other realm of wellness. I've done the brain span test and it's given me great info as to the health of my body & brain and what I could do about it. 5. They carry a very high quality line of supplements to support your wellness. It's chosen by Carrie and heather and you know it's vetted as effective and clean. And they are reasonably priced. 6.

As I got older I enjoyed the weight room, indoor track, sauna, and eventually, now that I have kids of my own, REALLY enjoy the daily childcare. There is truly something here for every age group. Not to mention the staff are over and above friendly and I feel like every time I come I'm family. When I was a kid I definitely took for granted how lucky we are to have a facility like this. I didn't know any different. But now after traveling a lot for work and using other Y facilities, I realize how great this location is--not to mention it's the 6th biggest one in the U.S.! They have lots of programs and classes for every fitness level if that is your thing, and have events throughout the year too. They do so much good for our community and my wife and I can't say enough good things about the Y. Plus it's very affordable for everything they offer.
