Member Testimonials
The overall system of the French Creek YMCA has gotten better. It is cleaner, the facilities run smoother and the communication is more effective. I like the new machines to work out on. I hope this trend continues.
I wish you could update the men's locker room. It is out dated, starting to rust and most of the benches are old. Few people use the 1/2 lockers and they could be replaced with full lockers.
I also wish the morning front desk staff were a little more friendly. I try to smile and be kind, but it doesn't seem like they want to communicate with those coming in to work out.
Other than that, I appreciate the improvements.
Good spot
I like the number of classes and the great workouts our instructors give us.
They are accessible and fun, and there is something for everyone.
I pretty much do my own thing and I use most it.
I mainly participate in the Active Older Adult classes but also use the track and a few of the fitness room machines. The instructors are great and very in tune to the exercise needs of older adults. The classes are challenging but options for the various activities in any given class are offered so those new to the classes or those with joint or mobility issues can “ dual it back” a bit. The staff at the desk is very helpful and friendly.
Wide variety
I love the clean locker room but it is very cold!
I get so much out of the aquasize class on Mondays And Fridays. Occasionally there is an added class on Friday and I would love to see it added every week. Gail is a great teacher/leader. I appreciate that she is in the pool doing the exercises with us and not standing on the deck as they do at the Avon Fitness Center. She is close by, able to make suggestions and ensure we are doing the work correctly.

Easy to use the equipment, staff is friendly and helpful.
I"m just there to exercise in the gym. Everything is kept super-clean and guests are encouraged to wipe down each device after use. I like the variety of machines, including some new equipment that I'm eager to try soon, and the fact that all are kept well-maintained. There is an excellent staff on duty at all times and they're most helpful when I have questions.
The French Creek YMCA is a great resource with a wide range of programs, trainers and equipment to help with a variety of approaches to get and maintain one's fitness. Moreover, the staff has a great attitude and are very helpful.
