Member Testimonials
The coaches are the best and the training is top notch! Everyone feels like a family. The prices are also very reasonable.
The whole gym is amazing and has so much to offer. My 7 YO Granddaughter loves the pool.
It is mostly the friends I have made. Social gatherings is important as we age and our group looks after each other while we get moving in the studios. I feel some of the group fitness classes could be updated.
I appreciate the variety of activities and programs the YMCA offers. However, I would like to see lower program fees for children’s sports, particularly for YMCA members.
I also have concerns regarding children under the age of 15 being permitted in the main workout area, whether accompanied by an adult or not. I believe this presents a significant safety concern. I have personally witnessed children under the age of 13 in the workout area without a parent or guardian nearby, and there have been instances where they were nearly struck by weights or collided with individuals actively exercising in the turf area.
The workout space is already somewhat limited, and having young children in the area—whether they are exercising or simply accompanying someone—can create additional congestion and increase the risk of injury. For the safety of both children and members who are working out, I believe the YMCA should consider establishing and consistently enforcing a minimum age requirement of 15 for access to the main workout area.
The people are so wonderful and the programs appeal to a wide variety of interests. I love Silver Sneakers! Also, there are activities that stimulate the mind. I am part of a book club. Others do crafts or play cards or other games. Group trips planned by the Y make it easy to gain cultural enrichment. I am so happy to take part in activities that help maintain both my mental and physical health.
Everything.
Love the friendly people working. Carl has been a big help on the machines.
All programs, Equipment and of course good communication, great customer service and attention to details by all the hosts employees on what to do.
I go to the Silver Snickers class, Monday, Tuesday, Thursdays, and Fridays. Amanda is absolutely an awesome instructor trainer. I am glad that she’s there and a lot of her classes. Everybody loves her but now I will say this that room is very hot. There’s no AC blowing in it only the fans everybody complains about it so I’m gonna let y’all know that it’s hot in there. It’s very different from there and then in the hallways.

Beautiful facility and very friendly staff. I do wish there was a more structured policy in the lap pool. Since there are only 4 lanes, there have been times whoever is using the lane won't "share." I would also like to see a time limit if others want to use the pool.
I enjoy Silver sneakers but at times there isn't enough room for everyone.
Thanks for asking
The friendliness of the staff. The clean facilities. The friendships that are made with the members.
Mah Jongg, pickleball, variety of exercise classes
I like almost everything except young kids inside the gym without supervision, talking loud and sitting in some of the equipment with cellphones and we the adults waiting to use them.
I like the spinning classes but feel more classes should be offered throughout the day esp spinning not slot of time choices with spinning.. the Tues Thursday class at 930 conflicts with other morning classes
Different age activities, financial assistance, workout classes
Outdoor pool available most days of the year.
Fitness equipment of all types is available for use when the Y is open.
The YMCA employees are very friendly & efficient. Many programmes for each & every person adults & children to choose from. It keeps getting better each year.
I took a couple of fitness sessions with Ginger. She was great & went to Europe for 4 months on the cobbled streets without any mishaps.Thank you Ginger.
Loved the opportunity to pack the backpacks for kids. Adults, army guys & children all turned up & all the backpacks were filled in 10 mts. Many hands make easy & fast work.
Cici is a great manager who is very friendly & remembers most of our names & makes us feel special. Thanks for keeping us fit , healthy & get involved with community services.
Very clean - great staff and so many options to check out and enjoy!
I am a Senior and I love the Senior activites!
Water aerobics, full service gym and pickleball
The staff is very personable, professional and helpful. There are exercise classes for seniors and places to play various games.
Good variety and great instructors.
We appreciate the high-quality instruction offered in the YMCA’s fitness classes, especially BodyCombat, Cardio Dance, and Zumba. Cardio Dance is a super-amazing and fun class--and a favorite of our family. We also enjoy and value the Zumba class.
The friendly greeting we receive when entering the YMCA helps create a good vibe and a nice transition to a work out. We also appreciate being notified well in advance whenever a class must be canceled. The app is very useful.
Overall, the Perry YMCA is very well organized and operates efficiently. The exercise equipment is kept in excellent condition. The exercise floors are clean at times, but a little more frequent attention would be appreciated, especially since some classes and activities require participants to exercise directly on the floor.
We would enthusiastically support the addition of another early-day BodyCombat or Zumba class to the schedule.
Also, we like it because the participants in classes are friendly and welcoming to new people. Very fun and nice people.
Thank you for providing such a welcoming, well-maintained, and fun place for our family to stay active and fit. And thanks for asking for feedback.
The quality of the group fitness instructors in silver sneakers and yoga, especially Emma and Gina. Also the quality of the equipment and friendliess of the staff
