I love all the Silver Sneakers exercise and Yoga classes. The Instructors are wonderful and I have learned a lot from them. Everyone is very pleasant and helpful, which makes it a comfortable environment to be in. There is also a wide variety of exercise equipment in the main area available to use as well as a walking track.

First of all, you've kept us all safe during the pandemic. Love the variety or programs and activities, I'm doing more now than pre-pandemic.
Great place, well kept, many options for work out and friendly people
The group exercise classes and instructors are great. Please consider more time options between your 530am and 830am classes. 530am is early and 830am is too late :). Love the new 730am Tuesday option. Thank you.

Like the instructors
I Love the senior classes. it's just what I was looking for since I've retired. I also do a few others such as Shelly's cycle class. The instructors are amazing, they do a great job!
I love the older adult classes. I've been participating for nine years and have met some wonderful people in the classes as well as getting fit and having fun. The instructors are well-trained and make the workouts enjoyable!
I enjoy the fitness equipment.
The offerings for all members of the family are varied enough to stave off exercise boredom!
You keep the pool open as much as possible
Swim
Do wish more people allowed in pools, it’s great exercise for the seniors and now being restricted to certain numbers, not allowing some to get badly needed workouts in water. Time to open things up again.
Also...would love to see people’s faces again, how much longer going to have to wear masks?
I love all of the program offerings at the French Creek locations. Every class I have taken has been WONDERFUL!!!! Your instructors are energetic and experienced. Each one of them change up the routines with every class!!! They make exercise fun and not just the same boring routine. Entire staff is friendly.

I have been a member of the YMCA starting in Bellevue, Ohio when I was a teenager. I have been a member of the French Creek YMCA for over eight years! I am privileged to complete one half hour of aerobic exercise followed by weight lifting for 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes of stretching. I typically do this every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning. I like this facility because it is always clean and well kept. The work-out machines are modern and well maintained. Staff members are kind and pleasant and greet you by your name after they get to know who you are.
I worked for 25 years at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center for The Ohio State University in Wooster, Ohio. I am also a graduate of OSU with a combined Bachelor and Master’s Degree in Agricultural Engineering. I grew up and worked on a dairy farm south of Bellevue, Ohio. I graduated from Thompson High School with an FFA State Farmer Degree.
I am now 83 years old. I have been blessed with good health which I attribute in part to my life-long participation in the sports activities and fitness programs available from the YMCA.
