Member Testimonials
I really wanted water aerobics and I like the idea of having multiple classes everyday.
Friendly, helpful staff.
Excellent place which not only provides health benefits but also work towards helping community through various channels.
The YMCA has been a good experience. My only real complaint is that the weight room can get crowded and is not well arranged. I’m not an expert or have any suggestions for how it should look, just that the current layout isn’t perfect.
Classes are great and varied, and trainers are good, I have taken body pump, cardio kickboxing, water aerobics, water Zumba, Zumba and so on. Never took a class I didn’t like. Plus I use the weight room and rarely have to wait to use the machines
Chair exercise class✅
All equipment should be repaired if not working.
☺️ I Love the Coach's their instructions of their class, and I enjoy the people they are very friendly.
Friendliness and helpfulness
The coach's are awesome!!!
Variety of programs/classes
Clean environment
friendly staff
The friendliness of the staff and the way you always celebrate the different events for each month. The people taking care of the small ones seem to really enjoy what they do and it shows in their interactions with the children.
On a negative note, the Y could use some updating making it more attractive to attract new members. More classes would be beneficial, also. Although the Silver Sneakers class is at 8:00 AM, if you are not there by 7:00 AM you will not get a seat (only 35 chairs available). This means that people who are retired, who the class is geared to, have to get up between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM to make it in on time. That is not good.
The pool area could be more appealing with the addition of plants and more lights. Sometimes little things make a world of difference. Thank you.
Great customer service and experience. Engaged customer in presenting available Y programs. Assisted customer in resolving technology issues with website and app accessibility.
Everyone is very welcoming and it's very clean. The strong smell of the cleaner used at the Mathews YMCA bothers me and gives me a headache and that's the only complaint I have!
The staff is so friendly, nice assortment of gym equipment and LOVE the pool. Recently brought a friend as a guest (who since became a member) and we just started the aquatic class held on Wednesday night. Wish this class was offered more than once a week - found out recently it’s the only night of the week that is available because swim clubs use the pool the other nights. This is disappointing!
Variety of group classes

NICE and friendly staff ..
I love coming to the ymca. The care and concern of the employees and members have helped me on all levels of my life; spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. My son was killed 7 years ago and this has devastated my life forever. So, about a year and half ago, I joined the ymca and instantly I was inspired; the exercise and to be around people truly helped me. Most people don't know my story but the smiles and encouraging words are soothing to my mind, heart, and soul. I now come to the ymca 4 days a week and have open up to doing classes. The ymca have been a life changing experience for me....

Clean and well-managed. Excellent training staff and class offerings.
