Member Testimonials
Plenty of exercise equipment.
The diversity of the classes from water to land-something for everyone.
They are all great and the place works very hard to keep everything clean.
I feel the Y’s regulations ensures my safety. Which gives me a sense of security while working out.
It's a very happy, comfortable place. Whenever I speak to a staff person, in person or on the phone, they are polite and helpful. The classes are challenging and fun. It's always a good, healthful experience.
The people there are very nice and very clean for a gym
Feel safe during pandemic. Small classes.
I love the Silver Sneakers program ... it has caused me to build my strength and flexibility. Very enjoyable.
Love the yoga, wish we had a bigger room. Disappointed that “warm” pool is frequently closed (apparently due to staffing issues), hope that gets resolved. I can understand if occasionally something happens but several times this winter I have wanted to take my grandchildren only to get there and have it be closed due to no staff.
I miss the Y! I miss the instructors, I miss my friends, I miss sweating “with the oldies”! Even with the stay apart advice, I’ve been busy, and am grateful that the weather still permits outdoor walks. Thank goodness ness the vaccine is within sight, and maybe we will feel more confident to return.....
A variety of things to do
Enjoy the group exercise programs and friendly staff.
I love that I can swim which is the only exercise I really like
Love the yoga and exercise classes. I only wish you would have more options for times and dates.
I like the whole place haven't swam yet but will this summer
I enjoy the quiet exercise spaces (where the bikes, weights, etc are) without any music playing. I have been in some gyms that have such loud music blaring. I enjoy the quiet.
I love the pool, and plenty of hot water for a shower.
The exercise equipment is well maintained. Locker rooms are always clean.
Very friendly front desk staff; they always make me feel welcome and glad that I chose French Creek!
I love the wide variety of weight and cardio equipment.
Well planned and good trainers.
I really like the workout classes offered especially the cycle classes. Shelly is the nicest, and most kind instructor at the y. Jackie and Diane are really great instructors as well.
I do water therapy at the Avon Y about 3-4 afternoons a week. The aquatic director, Ryan Adams, has a great group of lifeguards. They continue to follow CDC guidelines even when Ryan is not there. I live much closer to Mercy Health Center in Amherst but prefer the Avon Y due to their cleanliness, their watchful eyes, and their 'attention to detail'.
SHINE ON, RYAN ADAMS and HIS AQUATIC STAFF !!!

I really like that you have effective programs for all age groups and fitness levels. I also love the social programs.
Great facilities and trainers.
Love all the classes I have taken. Instructors are wonderful...change up the exercise routines ..so the classes are NEVER boring.
I swim for my fitness exercise. And I realize Covid-19 has put quite a strain on the various programs @ the French Creek Y. I am grateful the pool has been able to remain open since June 1, 2020.
I also realize the difficulty of maintaining your lifeguard staff (particularly during this pandemic). I appreciate all that is being done to maintain the rec. services to each member (in all activities).
You all have a friendly and helpful staff and my hope for us all, is to see the pandemic end, and soon. We all look forward to getting back to "Normal"!
Thanks again to all your staff for the hard work they are doing to "maintain" during these trying times!
Sincerely,

Mostly I just use the workout equipment and it is very good. Also the people that work there are very helpful. That includes the people at the desks>
I like all the programs you have to offer. I wish I could participate in them all. It is just fun being here.
The staff is just wonderful and very friendly.
Like the classes that i attend and just recently attended an aqua class, love it!
Everything!

I like the group classes!
