Member Testimonials
I love the chair yoga class. I think it is great that you provide programs and camps for kids who cannot afford it. Keep up the good work.
We recently signed our son up for the level 1 and 2 swim lessons and they were absolutely outstanding. Our son is much more confident and capable in and around the water as a result. The pool and the instructors were wonderful and we look forward to participating in the summer camp activities when our children reach the appropriate ages. The child care facilities are top notch and the care takers are absolutely wonderful as well. Our kids, as well as my wife and I, look very forward to each visit.

Group ex classes
We love the yoga classes + instructors - Linn, Jodi, Cindy, and Carrie are all SO amazing and kind! We really love the new floors and deco in the modular. We love the weights, too, and would super-love free weight hammer machines!!
We are new to the Y, but we are very happy! We have not done any programs, but have come mostly for the gym and the pool. Only issue we have found are the dressing rooms for the pool could use a little more attention. Every time we go, the floor is pretty dirty with strands of peoples hair throughout. Thought it could be an isolated incident, but it is every time we go. Other than that, we are very happy!
Enjoy all the classes but concerned with the schedules since Y adopted a 'rotation' among trainers - never real sure if or who will show up, or what their idea of the workout should be.... several fill-in trainers who have their own flavor for activities - specifically what used to be body pump can now can mean many things depending on who is instructing - 50/50 chance of personal satisfaction for the class. I loved pump because of low impact and personal choice of weight... with what appears to be a movement towards a more cross-fit approach doesn't work well for some of us with joint issues. There are specific classes for cross-fit-type workouts and I don't think trainers should bring it into BP/sculpt.
Also, I have decided that Sunday has become hit or miss since rotation scheduling and I will not be coming on Sundays since there have been too many times when people haven't shown up. It feels as though our Y is going through a transition period, short-staffed maybe?
It would be wonderful to offer TRX on Thursday or Friday evenings at 6PM. I am not aware of any TRX classes at night and there seems to be enough interest that it makes sense to add at least one evening class on either Thursday or Friday (later in the week when it wouldn't compete as much with other classes where members would have to opt out of their other classes to take it).
Having aired all that - I really love the Y and refer people all the time, and believe it is still the best work-out facility in our area! I try to do my part to raise money and awareness for Robert Fowler Y. The staff and members do an amazing job serving our community! We're a close group where relationships extend far beyond the walls of the Y.

Great mission, staff and programs. The YMCA offers so much more than other workout facilities.
I wish the YMCA had programs like in the 70s. When men could rent rooms and get off the streets.
I enjoy the family friendly atmosphere and the fact that the facility is geared toward regular people just wanting to get in better shape.
My wife and I enjoy the classes offered as well (for all age ranges and fitness levels).
Senior classes and all adult classes
