Convenient way to stay healthy and the people you meet are friendly
All staff members very friendly and helpful.
The Instructor for my swim class is an amazing human. He is very supportive and a great encourager. As a senior learning to swim in a group of 4, he tailors the instruction to meet students needs. He gives equal focus to each one of us. Kudos to him.
The front desk is a hit or miss. I was very impressed with the gentleman who registered me for the February swim class. I tried to register earlier but the lady at the front ignored me and was in a conversation with another Y staff.
We like the wide variety of athletic experiences available for our kids at prices we can afford. Our boys are older beginners and it's nice that they still have options appropriate for them.
Silver Sneakers
I've been coming to R.F. Wilkinson YMCA since the Spring of 2024 - attending the Silver Sneakers program. Can't say enough good things about that class. Tina is our personable and professionally capable leader who encourages us attendees ( of widely varied ages and abilities) to push ourselves to excel but also do only what is comfortable at the time. The combination of aerobics and strength training put to music is absolutely terrific, and to enhance the experience I've gotten to meet tons of new friends! Getting to see the adorable little folks who are in the two different child care programs provided by the Y is 'food for my heart". There have been a few fun events such as the Halloween week festivities and the pot-luck luncheon on the 31st that just put the cherry on the top of a delightful experience. Forgot to mention that literally every time I arrive, I am greeted cheerfully by a YMCA staff member, and they've always helped with any questions. I am truly thankful for the Y and will highly recommend its programs for anyone I encounter.
Always a very positive and welcoming place.

Enjoy working out there and meeting up with friends.
The Y's fine as far as it goes. It really needs a pool. We have an aging community in Mathews and senior water exercises would be very beneficial. You might be able to bring in more seniors who don't like the traditional weights and exercise machines.
Excellent, helpful staff.
