Member Testimonials
The instructor and other people in class. Would like class offered more than Mon. and Wed.
The Silver Sneakers classes are wonderful. We have seen an improvement in our health and mobility since starting the classes. The instructor, Eliot, makes the class fun and enjoyable. We've made friends in the class and look forward to it each week.
I love the exercise classes Body Pump that I can take in early mornings to meet my schedule. The staff of John and Tracy are great. Also kudos to the staff that maintains the cleanliness of the facility.
Very excellent and awesome staff
Wide variety, excellent instructors
Exercise/dance classes for everyone, including seniors.
The classes have first rate instructors, and they make it fun!
Excellent facility, professional & friendly staff
Good variety, high quality instructors, and professional management. I’ve been a member for more than 10 years and I’ve always found classes or activities that met my needs or interested me. The Y is a joy.
I absolutely LOVE John. His Body Pump & Pilates have kept me & my body increasing in strength & agility. It has kept my osteoporosis & scoliosis at bay. I am almost 80 years old but my body is looking younger.
I don’t Know what would have happened to me if I hadn’t experienced his classes. I would be in bad shape.
I have attended classes since I was 30 years & I am so grateful for John & all the wonderful people (desk greeters) at the Y.
Sincerely,

I love the yoga and bodyflow classes. I did hear from another lady that there was a person Dainte Hurst-Dietz with PRS Insurance that spoke to guests about Medicare. This was not posted anywhere in the facility at Harriett & Joe Foster YMCA. Several others in our yoga class would have liked to attend this Medicare info.
Variety, convenience
I don't take advantage of many of the formal/group programs but my husband and I have been members for years - several buildings ago! I use the workout room frequently. Your staff is friendly and very helpful - both front desk and trainers. I feel totally comfortable using the facility, something I can't say about other "gyms".
I love the workout classes and instructors.

New improved gym
Great place to workout. good environment
I am into my 2nd year as an Active Older Adult and enjoy the Silver Sneakers classes. Friendly staff and friendly people. As a retiree I find it very rewarding to have a routine that involves moving.
Many geared for seniors
The exercise classes help motivate me and keep me on track.
Book camp is excellent and there are a lot of other options throughout the day!
There is a good variety of exercise classes. I like the intimate workout room, which is not cavernous like a big gym.
I wish there was a sauna or steam room.

quality instructors
Friendly environment
The stretch class Richard does is great!
However, I would not recommend the exercise swim classes in the summer that were held in the morning. Did not care for the instructor and this year the starting time was changed to a part of the day when the sun is intense. I'll just go to the downtown Y for swim exercise classes.
The dance and Zumba classes!!!
Everything
A lot are geared to the seniors adult like me and are easily joined by just walking in he specific room/area. Many classes to choose from with varied hours to suit the morning or afternoon and evening.. thank you YMCA forever.!!😀
The staff are welcoming; the trainers are caring and engaged; and the other members are friendly. It's a great community environment, and I feel good every time I visit.
Very well designed for their age and very well trained coaches.
I'm a Senior Citizen and the Y is a place I can go ANYTIME to be with other seniors or just go to ride a bike or walk the treadmill. We have luncheons and always have volunteers (younger folks) to serve us and help in any way. The Y is always coming up with new ideas to keep us busy and most important is EVERYONE is friendly and calls us by name. That's important to older folks. I love it and I invite my friends to attend all the time. The Silver Sneekers classes are full and our instructor, Eliot, keeps us moving, which 90 year olds need. We take bus trips to different places and I've enjoyed several of them. I love the Y just wish I'd joined years ago.
