Very informative sessions for Seniors.

The facility overall is great.
The work-out area can get crowded, but with nice people.

I get inspired seeing others serious about maintaining their bodies, and happy to be blessed with this convenient opportunity and luxury.

The equipment is great. It is well layed out, too, for the space.

The group fitness classes are run by incredibly qualified athletes with mostly WONDERFUL personalities offering and modeling superb fitness activities, great, challenging, fun exercises.

The efforts made by The YMCA to care for the community resonate with any of us who have a heart and resonate with giving. One is that they give away food.

People meet for Bingo, to swim or sit poolside and/OR take water fitness classes.

Families come to play. There's a gym floor, like they have in Schools. Sometimes it is used for fitness classes or pickle ball.
Other hours, do those rooms ever get loud with ball bouncing, jimping, running and echoing of happy, enthusiastic, competitive and encouraging voices!

There are nice locker rooms and showers for males and females, and also some complete bathrooms, where a person can comfortably spread out his gym bag, garments toiletries etc, to shower, shave, groom
woth privacy.

It appears to be a family's haven.
As a person with no family or close relationships, it offers an uplifting environment and exposure to wholesome activity and intetactivity.

I've met some of my favorite people ever at
James P. Gillis Family YMCA

I just joined so that I could participate in the group fitness classes. Everyone has been very friendly and encouraging!!

I really enjoyed the group exercise classes and the pool's very nice in the summer. Parking's good, exercise machines are always clean and working.Really a nice place.

LOVE the James P Gills YMCA - especially the water aerobics taught by Meredith. However, the time it is taking to hire another water aerobics instructor for the Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes is extremely disappointing! While I do not know all the details behind hiring a suitable candidate, I'm sad to hear from others that the low pay rate is the problem. Surely the rate can be raised to entice another instructor!!!

Love it!

I love all the classes. Very well, run, done, professionally, and a very, very friendly atmosphere.

Variety

Senior classes and events.

Love the group exercise classes, especially the ones that Denise teaches. She makes exercise so much fun! I also love the people. I've made so many great friends. The Y is my happy place!

Excellent service

Great classes with great teachers!

Equipment is always clean and available.People are serious about exercising and not tying up equipment talking or socializing Staff is friendly and available.

Variety of machines and weights

The general exercise classes are extensive and well done. I mainly joined the YMCA to take indoor cycling, Pilates, and yoga. Then do some work on the rowing apparatus, and finally work on laps in the swimming pool. I don't plan on doing everything all at once, that would be too much. Offering so many activities in one place and at good times is truly amazing.

I like the chair yoga and balance classes.

The classes and the people u meet very friendly

Good 👍
