Member Testimonials
I had a Wonderful Swim Instructor, Debra Norwood Vance. She truly helped me overcome some of my swim/water fears.
They are willing to work with the client and be flexible when necessary.
My daughter's happiness
Great atmosphere, everyone is nice
Classes start on-time.
Instructor is very patient and provides as much one on one as possible, especially when some children do not follow instructions on a regular basis.
Especially like that the Y responded to heating the pool much better after initial complaints the water was too cold for the children.
The swim instructors at Northumberland are great with the kids.
We generally have a great experience at the Y
Instructors were experienced and focused on pushing students at each lesson. Instructors made the most of the allotted time and tailored teaching to each student’s individual ability. Thank you!
We love the instructor ( Ms. Vicki) she has been working with our daughter for about a year now. We like how easy it is to sign up online and how this YMCA offers classes during the day. This works better for our schedule.
I loved how my instructor, Debbie, went above beyond in helping me learn how to swim. I did not met my goal but she challenged and encouraged me to do what I could to the best of my ability. And I so appreciate her hard work and dedication to me. I will take additional lessons from her and recommend her to others.
Front desk attendant was so friendly and helpful. Facility was clean and accessible.
Joining friends while working out.
I have only been twice so far. That said, the woman who assisted me at the desk my first day was really nice and incredibly helpful.
I'm a swimmer and I loved the pool - the temperature is terrific and very hard to find!
I loved the feel of the place - the child/day care (I think?) , the coffee/sitting areas, the workout room...
So far, I have enjoyed my experience.
Very helpful staff
The staff is great! The group exercise classes keep me motivated. I love to play pickleball!
Clean, friendly environment. Little disappointed with “lack of hot water “ in men’s showers, after aerobics class. Pool area and temperature is excellent, very impressive!
The mixture of available resources for fitness - 24 hour access, numerous classes and programs, and personal training opportunities. The staff are ALL caring and very approachable and great to interact with to support and achieve our fitness goals.
Equipment is clean and good variety. People are friendly. Like the video runs on the treadmill.

Great instructors and friendly staff. I enjoy working out with my Y friends.
Quick and easy to reactivate my membership.
I love the simplicity and limited space so there isn't a whole lot of people there.
Last week, I joined as a former Y member (In Richmond) as I had earlier taken opportunity to give the Pool a try, and like it....but then it had not yet been Roofed! NOW, I am MOST HAPPY that I can swim all Winter in comfort!!! Too, everyone at the Y is helpful and friendly. I feel right at home, and look forward to my next swim...likely tomorrow! A Great Place!
