Member Testimonials
I love the hours and availability
Relatively new, clean facility with friendly staff.
I like the group Fitness classes...Silver Sneakers and AOA (Active Only Adults). The instructors are good and friendly.
I also like that they're are no additional cost with the Silver Sneakers membership.
You have a large number of group exercise programs which are beneficial to quite a few people. Michelle (Pilates + Barre), Jessica (Silver Sneakers), Brittney (Cardio Dance), Phyllis (Strength and Balance, Tap Dance, Tai Chi), Martha (Strength and Balance), Danielle (Chair Yoga), and Amanda (AOA Fitness and Strength, Express Fitness after 50) have good classes. The classes may well lead many people to spend more time exercising than if they did exercise activities individually. E-gym is a useful addition to the classes. There is some opportunity for social contact with others even though it may be limited at times. The bus trips provide an interesting diversion from normal routine. 11/7/26
Good instructors
Lots of classes to choose from
Great aquatics director
I like the many opportunities for day and multiday travel options for the Active Older Adults. It gives me an opportunity to experience places and concerts that I would not have bothered doing due to driving hassles.
I also appreciate the friendly faces of the fitness trainers and their enthusiam and encouragement to keep me staying active and making new friends (French Creek YMCA). I had been going to the Y for 5 years before I started taking different classes and actually getting encouragement from the staff and finding out how powerful a connection can be made when I explored new avenues of exercising. I really like the E Gym.
Everything that I have participated in has been great.
Many choices.
I absolutely love your senior programs. Stella who teaches the arthritis class is the best!! Her classes are like family. She keeps us all moving!
They are a lot of fun.
I like the water classes(though the amount offering is dwindling). The joy of exercising with people I can laugh and chat with is great.
There is something for everyone! And so many options. The trainers are awesome. The facility has plenty of equipment and is maintained very nicely. All great things, and not a complaint about anything at all.
Early swim times and 24/7 access to workout facilities.

Variety snd ease of access
They have a good senior plan for activities. They also have a good exercise plan.
Great stuff!
The trip we took to In Lancaster was wonderful!
Having music and exercise goes hand and hand. Group classes are fun and long enough to get a good work out in and go on with my day. Thank you!
The fitness floor and pool
AOA travel
Yoga
A wide variety to choose from for all age groups
Work out machines
All of the classes are really great as well as the instructors. That is, except for Christene Mills. She is a Line Dance instructor at French Creek and the Westlake locations. She spent a lot of time in class talking about the Lord and the devil and I find it inappropriate. There is a lot of time spent in class, not exercising, just her talking about random nonsense. She also talks about the YMCA being racist against her. She is extremely emotional during the classes and drives everybody away.
There is something for everyone. very good variety of things to participate in.
It is a great place to go to work out then go relax and swim! During the winter it’s a safe place to walk for us older people!
Friendly people
