I've been coming here for years, and while it is a great service to this small community to have a…read moreplace where one can exercise, I must complain about the way it is run lately. The front desk is often unmanned, and I have seen numerous teenage non-members enter and use the weight room without any of the staff being aware of their presence. But the worst aspect is that there is often no lifeguard on duty, particularly in the early morning. The management of this Y must start running this place in a more professional manner.

I've been riding and racing bikes for a loooong time, and am now am in my mid-50s and hoping not to…read moreslow down. I've used many different approaches and plans, but recently have been doing what I call "racing on hope" -- just hoping that I get faster for some reason, but not having any confidence that I'd do so. This year, though, I worked with Hunter, and am riding faster than I have in years, maybe decades. He put together a focused plan to get me ready for a specific event -- Tour de Tucson -- including tightened-up base, build, prep and race phases. The workouts were clear, always with context and explanations; the interval sessions were TOUGH -- but always just tough enough that I could just complete them; and by the time race day rolled around I felt primed and ready. I had my best day on the bike in years, outriding guys much younger than me, and even hit my best 10-minute power in the middle of the 100-mile event. But the best part was Hunter's personal approach. Yes, I received clearly laid-out workouts that popped up on my bike computer, like I had a coach whispering in my ear throughout the workout. But I also received texts and calls from Hunter checking in, and then the day before my event he called and walked me through prep and execution, calming my nerves and making me feel even more confident. I just emailed Hunter letting him know I'm re-upping for a full-year plan!

She has an extensive anatomy knowledge that she applies in each class and her alignment cues are great. She has a nice gentle, yet challenging vinyassa class.
