The programs and activities are good for seniors
the family atmosphere
I am a senior, and I love the water aerobics class on Monday’s and Wednesday mornings!!
Everything is goood
I like the same experience that I get each time I go what I expect I get I enjoy that.
Front Desk staff were engaging and welcoming. They were quick to respond to all my questions with a smile. In some other facilities, staff are often distracted on their portable devices. The equipment was clean, well spaced out, and up-to-date. Parking was plentiful with ample space between lanes.
Like the upgrades to the seated area by the pool window, and the lounge area by the track. Like the addition of a touchless door leading to the locker rooms. Also, appreciate the investment in new lockers, many of the other facilities have old, broken ones. Fitness Centre staff stayed at desk instead of periodically walking the floor though.
Clean, spacious areas to exercise. Courteous and attentive staff.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean
The accessibility and support
I like the classes and the instructors
The pool and Wellness center
The best thing is the friendly and helpful staff. That makes me glad to be there.
The fitness center and pool and track cover most of my workout needs. Everything is well maintained.
Cons:
The monthly cost is high. My partner would love to join but can’t afford it and he doesn’t use it enough. It would be great if there was a day pass price for people like him.
Two major assets are unused: the climbing wall and the ceramics room. I know there are people who could teach those and it would be a huge attraction. You could also do a day pass for those, to draw non-members.
There also aren’t enough studio classes. I was so disappointed when Saturday Zumba stopped. And having classes at 7 pm is right after dinner - who wants to workout then? It’s either that or wait until 8:30 to eat which is also unhealthy.
I hope this gets to the right people. I love Wade Walker and want it to thrive!!

Class options. Great staff. Too bad you discontinued food distribution.
Everything
Convenient
I fully enjoy water aerobics
Line Dancing—Victoria is an amazing instructor and taught me steps I’ve been trying to learn for two years!! Plus, she makes it fun but still a great workout that makes me sweat. I had to bring my daughter to check it out!
Schedule
Very good prohram
I love feeling like I’m part of a community, and that people notice when I’m there and when I’m not. I love the yoga instructors for the evening and weekend classes…Eugene, Kizzy and Lucinda are great!
Staff are kind, patient and work to meet you where you are
Staff is friendly, facility is clean. Great place to swim and work out
I have a very young baby and would like to be able to walk the indoor track with my stroller as I cannot hold him in the carrier for long because of a sore back. Other than, I enjoy this Y.
Everybody is very friendly. Staff for the most part are approachable and try to help with questions. I like the exercise classes and other group things you can participate. Even the young children that come during the summer or school holidays are very respectful.
We came to visit for the aquatic center as our home location is about 40mins away and it was great.
The lifeguards were very attentive, and it seemed as if it was their top priority with making sure the kids were safe.
Most of the women at the front desk were very friendly and pleasant upon checking in especially Miss Emily.
Very clean and professional environment while still giving that home for the community feeling. I love that there is so much to do within the facility.

I sincerely appreciate the exercise programs specifically targeted for active, older members. The staff is upbeat and smiling and always welcoming.
My family has been a member of the Wade Walker YMCA since it opened. I am very thankful that this resource is available to my community.
I like the facility and all that it has to offer. It's close to our home and the people are super nice!
