They are all super friendly, body positive, and open to all kinds of folk who walk through the door. I have taken classes with people of all ages, sizes, and strength/ability. The instructors take extra care to make sure everyone gets the attention they need to master the right moves and they all owe it to Terri for training them. Some of the instructors are professional dancers while for others it's a hobby, but they are all talented and lovely people. I've improved so much and after trying other studios in the area, this is my ultimate favorite.

We just moved here from California where the Y really didn't have the presence it had here in…read moreUpstate. The Y was just there for convenience and little random programs (circus, after school, toddler sports). HOWEVER....here in Saratoga the YMCA is a culturrrre. We didn't get the hype at first until we actually joined. What a complete 180 from what I had envisioned in my head. Every possible thing is going on at this club-Swimming, 2 levels worth of gym space, 4 specialized gym spaces, a ton of activities and clubs--yes this is our 2nd home now. On top of that, the value you get for the family membership is beyond worth it. So excited to finally take the leap and join the Y. The facilities are clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the community is so welcoming.

I've been a YMCA member for over 15 years, with the last four spent at the Saratoga location. In…read morethat time, the staff has become like family--genuinely supporting me through personal and physical goals with compassion and consistency. My children have grown up at this Y. My son started his first job here nearly a year ago, and it's been a transformative experience. He is encouraged, recognized, and valued in a way that's helped him grow with confidence and pride in his work. It's rare to find such a positive and nurturing environment for teens entering the workforce. Both of my children have participated in the summer camp and sports programs. The attention to detail, the care, and the personal connections the staff make with each child are unmatched. They are always greeted by name, with joy and familiarity--it truly feels like family welcoming us every time we walk through the door. A special thank you to Kristie and Jenna, who have gone above and beyond from day one. Their presence has made a lasting impact on our family. Through difficult personal challenges over the past five years, this YMCA has been a steady source of peace, encouragement, and community for us. The facility is always clean, friendly, and full of opportunities for personal or family growth. This isn't just a place to work out--it's a safe space, a support system, and a vital part of our well-being. We are deeply thankful.

Wow! I've had over 100 massages and my session with Yasmine was one of the very best I've ever had…read more Yasmine is a skilled practitioner, and you can feel her warmth and passion from the very first touch. I appreciated how she dug in deep, but I never felt pain - she massaged my feet, but I never felt ticklish - she applied a lot of pressure, but never relied on elbows. Her facility is tranquil and relaxing, and was an easy walk from my hotel (the Saratoga Hilton). If I were ever in town again, I would visit Yasmine again in a heartbeat.

She is amazing, she makes you feel comfortable. The environment is welcoming and neat. But the real value is her skill as a massage therapist. She has an amazing talent and takes massage to the level of art. She works through the places on your body that are in distress, is very aware of you, how you are responding and what is working. She takes her time and has made me a believer, as well as a regular customer. I recommend everyone make massage a regular part of their Heath and physical routine, and there is no one better than Yazmine.

I normally wouldn't respond further, but several points in your response are simply not accurate…read more The bathroom supply issue was acknowledged by you at the time, and there were also lighting issues in there. These were not things parents imagined or "didn't see." I disagree that children being unable to properly dry their hands is not worth mentioning. In a children's facility, basic bathroom supplies such as toilet paper, working lights, and a way for children to dry their hands are reasonable expectations. I grew up dancing and spent years performing in ballet productions, recitals, and theater-style performances. I understand how rehearsals work, how costume changes work, and what it takes to put on a successful show. What I experienced at your studio was not typical of the many productions I have participated in over the years. Having a 7-year-old spend 4-5 hours at the venue after a full day of school for a single 2-minute rehearsal, with no costume changes, felt unreasonable and contributed to the overall sense of disorganization. I also recall that after the rehearsal, you addressed parents regarding the numerous complaints you had received about the length of the rehearsal. That conversation made it clear that you were aware of the concerns being raised at the time. Unfortunately, rather than acknowledging those concerns, the message came across as dismissive--much like your response to my review. The issue was never that parents didn't understand dance or theater. The issue was that many felt expecting young children to remain there for over four hours after school was unreasonable. Every performance environment can be stressful, but I have never experienced the level of disorganization and chaos that occurred here. Dismissing concerns by suggesting parents are simply unfamiliar with theater or dance is unfair and misses the point entirely. It's surprising to hear that this is the first time you've heard criticism. Just because concerns are ignored, disputed, or removed from public view does not mean they don't exist. I've personally spoken with many families who have left your studio and shared similar experiences. There are other reviews publicly available on Google for anyone to read and evaluate for themselves. We have since moved to another studio that is significantly more organized, professional, and responsive to families, and the difference has been remarkable. Since leaving, we've experienced how other studios in the area run dress rehearsals and performances. The difference in organization has been significant. Even studios that manage larger productions and competitive programs are able to run rehearsals efficiently and keep waiting time for young dancers to a minimum. It showed us that there are much more effective ways to organize these events. Constructive feedback is an opportunity for growth. The defensiveness in your response only reinforces many of the concerns that families have raised. Rather than acknowledging any of the feedback, much of your response was dismissive, defensive, and focused on explaining why parents' concerns were invalid.

One sister bailed so there were five of us. After he set each of us up on our bikes, we did a "warm up" on the TRX that quickly had us all in a full sweat. Then onto the bikes.

All the while he was enthusiastic and encouraged us in a positive, not shouty way and made sure we were all comfortable on our bikes. Highly recommend!
