Member Testimonials
The variety of group fitness classes at the French Creek Y give me many options to exercise each week. I have a small home gym, but the Y classes keep me from getting bored with the same routine all the time.
Easy, helpful and convenient - I love the Y and the programs they have.
(1) Personal Training
(2) Indoor 25 yard pool for lap swimming
(3) Availability of adduction and abduction strength training machines
(4) Availability of transverse ellipticals, in this case, Octane brand
(5) Filters on the water fountains
I’m really enjoying the yoga classes at the French Creek Y!
I like how the pool is open until 830 that’s very convenient for a lot of people. I also like that there’s many programs to choose from my family personally utilizes the swift program. I enjoy the equipment where you can use the e gym.
I really enjoy coming there and I really enjoy Gail’s Water Aerobics class at 9:00 AM or a 8:00 AM pop up class sometimes on Friday. I drive thirty minutes to get there.
My daughter enjoyed it, and looked forward to going each week.
I liked that the basketball program while competitive was largely about learning and developing skills. I especially liked the focus on character development. Hannah was a great encouragement to the kids and provide real time feedback to help them learn.
I love the AOA Ballet class and the instructor Martha, plus her Aqua Zumba class. She is truly wonderful.
I love the leaders of the spinning sessions. The equipment is also excellent as is the camaraderie with other guests.
My family liked everything about it when you were in Lorain- Swim team,-the wonderful day camp- pre school classes- Jazzercize- Kids Basketball leagues- guppie starfish shark etc swim classes for kids- 1,2& you Parent toddler swim classes- Adult swim lessons- the Open swims & open gyms- raquet ball courts & of course the friendly staff..Kelly the swim teacher especially- But you closed it AND Elyrias right in the middle of swim team season.They were great gathering places for the folks of these towns. It hurt alot of good people.You robbed both these communities full of active Working class. families of a lifetime of positive experiences by doing so- However, to your shame you did not close predominantly white wealthier Westlake or Vermillion & you built this new one in upscale Avon. I like that at 65 now i can attend free through silver spurs at this location - because i could never afford it here before since you dont offer subsidies or scholarships here- I would come dailylike we used to long ago if it wasn't so far and gas wasn't so expensive. Please after all these years do the right thing- reopen the Ys in Lorain- South Lorain & Elyria- The Y enriched my childrens lives more than you could possibly imagine- it changed the fabric of our family forever when it closed. Please give that back to this generation. its the Chistian thing for the the Young Mens Christian Association to do.

We love the pool

Ease of understanding
Your trips are awesome
All the numerous options and the consistency of classes
The instructors are fun and friendly, the other participants really make up a community that is welcoming and affirming, and I like the variety of programs. I especially like the seniors stuff and the e gym.
I swim laps and stationary bike and some of the arm things. That's pretty much it.
Silver sneaker classes and bus trips
excellent yoga classes.
I would like to request that you post the hot tub closings on the website. it would be helpful to know when I log on to see the schedule, I would be notified that the hot tub is closed for cleaning.
I like the new machines which I have yet to be oriented to. Love the warm pool!! Classes are great!! I have already recommended it to a friend and she did join like a week ago!!
FC YMCA is new, clean, cheerful place :-))
Silver sneaks programs
The Sports programs for the kids at the YMCA French Creek are really great!
We've tried many other locations but this one is the most organized.
Hannah does an amazing job organizing, getting the best coaches, communicating and accommodating kids and families needs and schedule
My daughter has been going to the Y for basketball for 2 years and we just started volleyball and she's loving it!!
Keep up the great work!!
The Junior Cavs program was great! This was our first year participating in the program and my son (6 years old) learned so much! The coaches were fantastic and really helped to lay the foundations of basketball for the team. We will definitely be back next year!
The AOA programs, especially Silver Sneakers and Fitness After Fifty. But need more classes in both during a morning time slot. 60 is too many in a room.
