Member Testimonials
Love the exercise classes, in particular Renee and Jackie.
Everything is very well done and the staff is friendly and helpful
Verity of days and times for group courses
When using the French Creek Y my husband and I use the Fitness Room. I appreciate the way the Y replaces the fitness machines on a regular basis and services them as promptly as possible when the are broken. Recently, when I was working out a trainer stopped to correct my form when I was doing an exercise. It's this kind of help that makes using the fitness room an enjoyable experience.
I would like to suggest that the Fitness Room include a Therapy Table. The after effects of an injury that I incurred long age prevent me from using the mats on the floor. I'm sure other members have the same limitations. Thank you for your consideration.
The instructors
Like the fact that pickleball was given more time when it was apparent there was a large number interested in playing.
So far I have only used the pool. The facility is very nice and everyone is very friendly.
I would like to see the aqua jog class come back!!
I love your silver sneaker programs especially chair yoga. Wish you offered it every day like you did before the pandemic.
I do not like that there is no longer the small exercise room for seniors. It has been relocated to the large exercise room and front and center along the walking track. If it has to be in that room, why not tuck it in one of the corners making it more exclusive to seniors?
Love the chair yoga classes and wish the Friday class wasn't cancelled now.
I have enjoyed the variety of classes in past. Slowly the y is coming back, and hopefully the same great instructors will return.
I responded yesterday BUT thought of another important item to mention -
As I swim for exercise, and @ 6:00 a.m. the swimmers need to wait until 6:30 to get into the pool, the Y needs to provide MORE chairs in the hall area by the pools, to allow for proper social distancing. Three (3) to a bench is way TOO close (only 2' away from each other).
Please accommodate ASAP.
Thank you!
Using he competition pool
Love the water aerobic
Variety of activities; courtesy of staff
The Silver Sneaker programs can accommodate any age or ability.
I have been going for six years and I am 72 years old and it has helped me with, balance and flexibility. It is a great program.
Very disappointed with limited pool rules. Had to wait 35 minutes until one person of the 10 exited. 10 limit in that size pool is foolish
I enjoy chair yoga.
Silver sneakers
Deep water aerobics and that pool
Fantastic facility with great staff
We have 4 children who are health and sports minded. Love the fact that my children can workout with us while teaching them how to use equipment properly. No other gyms we have found that allow our children to access equipment. This is such a great thing to be able to teach our children at these ages. Thank you!
I love that I don't have to pay extra for classes. I previously went to Mercy Health Center on Cooper Foster in Lorain. All my wellness membership got me was access to the machines and limited access to pools. I have to drive a bit further to get to you, but it is worth it. I like that you have the Older Active Adults classes, and activities. The instructors are all so nice and helpful and friendly. Everything is also super clean...which is so important these days! Thank you for being there!
Childcare while I do any workout is great.
I love the Silver Sneaker classes and the track.
I enjoy going to the Avon Y. It is situated close to my house and work out buddies from Elyria and Avon.
Everything I use seems to work fine and is always clean.
I have attended a few sessions of yoga for seniors. I’m not good at it but I think it helps my flexibility.
I appreciate the cleanliness of the facility along with warm water for hand washing.
I love that there is programs for my young children all the way up through my senior parents.
It seems u have something for every age group.
The facilities are first rate. I use the upstairs fitness equipment including the indoor walking track and weight machines. Downstairs I use the hot tub and the sauna, though the pools are well used by lap swimmers and people taking fitness classes in the recreation pool.
I do a lot of cycling. The equipment at the YMCA helps me round out my personal fitness program.
I use the workout faculties and the pool. Both areas are very well managed.
