Member Testimonials
I have been using to pool regularly lately to help me recover from a stressful beginning of 2025 including the insertion of a pacemaker, two breast cancer surgeries, radiation and a case of tendonitis. Water walking was recommended as a good way to get some exercise without straining my tendons and muscles. I have been relatively regular and I am seeing some slow progress. I feel so blessed that I can have access to such a pleasant, well-kept poolm and clean surroundings. The lifeguards have been friendly and helpful. My husband has been coming with me and getting his swim laps in while I water walk and do some other water exercises recommended by my physical therapist.
I have been associated with the Y for 69 years and with the Hill branch for 36. The Association has always provided great community for both adults and youth.
Overall great staff, variety of classes you take at your own pace, large variety of gym equipment and no one shames you based on your looks or weight. Pool classes are fantastic. Plus tons of activities for kids and families throughout the year. Affordable membership.
Positive people make for a positive experience. I use the pool and the staff there are outstanding!

Variety of exercise options. Outstanding staff, trainers and class leaders.
friendly staff
Friendly staff, clean facility and lots of activity there. Parking lot is okay. Expect more outdoor activities like pickleball, volleyball. Please provide more vending machines. Ping Pong pads and balls, pickleball pads and balls, swimming goggles and head caps vendor are essential. Overall it’s a great facility.
I enjoy the classes especially those taught by Renee Wilhide. I take Cardio Dance and Everfit when she teaches. Renee is kind and caring and makes everyone feel like family. She is a huge asset to the Y.
I also do swimming 2 days a week and I enjoy that as well.
I’m not really a fan of using the equipment in the gym. I find it a challenge to navigate and use the machines and I don’t feel like the staff there is very helpful.
Like the classes and the instructors. Like the community of ladies I have met.
It’s a friendly and clean environment.
Everyone is really friendly and helpful. The pool is kept in really great shape.
Good service—friendly and helpful people.
Friendly staff.
I love the community feeling at the Y and the friendly staff!
The employees and members are very nice and supportive. I don’t feel judged by anyone. Yes, I weigh more than I should and I’m out of shape. However, I am here trying to do something about it.
It's always clean. There are people you can ask for help or instruction. There is a variety of classes. It is nice that there is a food bank.
Not too crowded with lots of activities
Convenient.
Excellent range of classes that meet my needs as a senior. Knowledgeable and personable instructors. Welcoming staff at the entry. Programs for all ages and members of the Carroll County community.
Members and associates are terrific. You see a lot of camaraderie within groups (pickleball, table tennis, yoga classes, etc.). There is a sense of community.
There's a wide variety of activities to participate in.
I love the aqua Zumba class; that's why I joined.
Twice I’ve had to get information at the front desk check in. Most recently on Monday, November 3 at about 7 PM. I wish I asked her name, but she was very helpful with questions about adult swim classes. Nowadays, I’m finding it very unusual when the person I’m talking to is able to provide the information I’m asking about. I appreciate the experience and knowledge at the front desk and I only wish I knew her name.
friendly and the people
Love all of the water classes; they have been beneficial for my weight loss. The instructors are just awesome.
However, there are so many chatty older ladies that talk through the whole class which I find to be very disrespectful towards the instructors.
From the time you walk through the front door every employee is very nice and helpful.
My only regret is that I didn't join the Y sooner.
The best investment I have made in my family's health!
