based on level of risk i would recomend water activity
I like the friendly people there.
I like all the programs and the activities that you offfer.
I just wish I could do them all..
I enjoy the machines. My wife would like to see more classes offered, but that will come with time.
I like having access to the water pools for the therapy necessary, for me to have flexible and bendable body parts. I like the use of the Treadmill, ellipticals, and pedal bike to keep the strength needed for independence. I hope to have access to the track for walking, as this 1 mile walk is the necessary warm up, to using the elliptical and bikes. Currently I've used the Treadmill as a warm up to the elliptical. Walking is always the preferred warm up to most any activity in therapy. When the Winter Season arrives, the on land walking is of the most preference to beginning a session of therapy.
Currently am just using the pool. Haven't started doing any programs yet.
I liked all the senior group classes for seniors. I wish there were more outdoor group classes. I am still little skeptical about inside
Locker room clean. Lifeguards pleasant and attentive.
Friendly and great instructors
This is the cleanest YMCA I have ever been to. I have no reservations to work out there.
The staff is very helpful.
Availability of the pool and the quality of the exercise equipment
pool exercise class
I enjoy all the classes and instructors are incredible. The support staff is friendly and a joy to be around.
I go to the Y 4-5 days each week for the last 10 years. The people are always nice & friendly. The facilities are always very cleans at our French Creek YMCA. One of my main reason is that I have my some very nice friends here. Gary Mackey, North Ridgeville.
I only use the facilities for my own personal body building and fitness activities. It's as clean as it can get and the staff is absolutely fantastic! Very much user friendly. LOL
Before the virus, I loved Silver Sneakers Classic and Yoga. I have been able to attend one of each since the partial open. The classic class has been full 3 out of 4 times.
I also enjoy the treadmill and the ability to watch tv while walking. The last time I was there, the TVs were not working so that was very disappointing.
We miss the bus trips and Kathy McLean. They are always enjoyable. We hope they will resume one day.
Thanks everybody. Name removed

Swimming in a warm pool.
Before Covid, we loved everything from the cardio and weights, to the pool, bouncy house, and virtual reality room for families and kids. We also enjoyed the piano in the lobby around the holidays. Now that we’re in the midst of a pandemic, we’re limiting our activity to the pool. We’ll continue being conservative for the foreseeable future and thank you for the precautions you’ve been taking. We would like to see masks be required in common areas because so many YMCA patrons and employees have higher risk (being older, having diabetes, etc).
Swimming
I like the pool but I am very disappointed that it is not back to opening at 5:30 am. I know at least 3 people who are not coming back because they have to go to work and 6:30 is too late for them. Also, it is not overly convenient for me because I have commitments in the mornings and I have to rush and not spend as much time as I would like.
Otherwise, I enjoy what is offered.
Large lap pool
I love the pool!
Love the machines upstairs but I could use some instructions on proper usage. I'm getting comfortable on the smaller machines and have started to graduate to some of the larger ones. Also, there are 2 elliptical machines by the windows on the far side of the room. They are identical and they are the only 2 of that type. I was really excited to try them because I can actually use them! After 2 knee surgeries I can't do the bikes anymore but I can do those particular ellipticals. But because they are right next to each other only one can be used. When someone is on it that leaves me with no options. I would really appreciate it if one could be moved. Thanks for keeping a beautiful Y for us!
this is too hard on the computer
