Member Testimonials
Hannah and her staff at the specialty camps have been fantastic. My daughter has enjoyed exploring the values and has been encouraged to spread joy. I'll send her back next year.
Every morning my kids are excited to go to camp. They love the variety of activities, the friends the make and the counselors.
I like to walk the track and I enjoy the recreation pool
Love the Charity knitting and tango lessons
Different programs for everyone. I wish there were a few treadmills in front of the windows so you could look outside when you run, instead of looking at everyone else who is running running too. And some people just down right stare and it can be uncomfortable .
Best camp around! Keeps my kiddos active all summer long!
Love the variety of AOA group classes. Hoping you can find a replacement instructor soon for Tuesday morning Fitness After Fifty. It would be great if you could cut the size of the Silver Sneakers and Fitness After Fifty to 50 people and/or offer another one of those classes before or after the ones that are perpetually overcrowded. I love that Jan has moved her Monday and Thursday classes to 9:30 am!!! Hope that can continue in the fall and winter.
The Egym weight system is great! And I appreciate the new massage beds too. I haven’t been to exercise classes in a while, but hope to resume because they were very beneficial. Family members have benefited from the learn-to-swim programs as well. And, offering childcare is VERY needed and appreciated to encourage young families to come work out. Thank you for providing a family-friendly fitness opportunity for our families.

They are organized timely and the instructor is very good.
My daughter really enjoyed her time there. The staff was sun and caring and she instantly felt welcomed.
Ms. Hannah, her counselors, and the French creek Y put on the best summer camp in the world!! They have helped shape my children and fostered their respect for the ymca core values. They make my kids feel valued, appreciated, loved, and happy! I cannot sing their praises loud enough, we are so grateful for this camp and the people who lead it!!
The aerobics instructors are in tune with the older ladies and gentlemen that participate in the Silver Sneakers program and give us the maximum workout for our money
I really like the Line Dancing class by Christene. She was excellent and the class was a lot of fun! I was so happy the dances were to classic R&B songs that I grew up with rather than all country music songs. I wish she had more line dancing classes available!
I take part in pickelball Sunday Mornings, enjoy it alot.
I love the childcare. Ms. Amira and audry are amazing with my kids and make them feel so special and welcomed. I would not be at the y if it wasn't for the amazing childcare and childcare staff.
Hannah does a nice job running the specialty camps. She is great with communication and updates. The camps are entertaining and educational. They teach kids valuable skills and lessons. My son has enjoyed the science camp this year.

Love the new hydro chairs. The YMCA offers so many classes from chess, to ballet, to tap dance for seniors, to yoga to strength classes and many, many more. It's atmosphere is alive with energy and joy.
