Member Testimonials
I have been a member of the French Creek YMCA since 2010, when I retired. The Y is for every member of your family.
As a senior, you can work out on the machines and keep to yourself, if you so prefer. There are open swim times and water work out classes.
In the gym, other classes are offered from less challenging chair yoga, and Arthritis range of motion exercises, to the quicker BOOM and ZUMBA.
You may participate in group classes, meet new friends, share in the camaraderie, go on bus trips, share in the experiences of various trips around our country, or travel abroad in the safety and security of a group you know.
If you are currently unable to afford the membership cost, ask about scholarships. The Y doesn't want to turn away anyone who wants to join us. Lest I forget, if you have Medicare Advantage, ask your carrier if they cover the cost of a Y membership. Come; join the fun. You are welcome here.

Early swim times

You are doing a great job. Thanks for all you do.
Convenience
Upkeep
We have been long-time members at the AVON YMCA. As a family we spend so much time here and it is really like a second home for us. Our kids enjoy coming here and we feel good knowing they are well taken care of while we focus on our health!
Love the Y!
I love the competition pool
Classes
Clean and well maintained facilities.
I love the friendships I've made and the community that has been built around it. The staff is always nice and as helpful as they can be though they could probably use a little bit more training to be fair. The facility is always clean and comfortable and I really value that. Lastly I love the silver sneakers program.
Wish we could have more deep water exercise classes instead of just once a week. I wish Tuesday mornings could have another water class in the rec pool.
Would it be possible to mix up the hot tub cleaning schedule. There are seven days in the week.
Closing it off on Tuesday's limits the time clients that only use that on certain days.
The time slots for classes are well thought out. Great yoga instructors.
Open pickleball
I enjoy the Aquatic Aerobics class with the instructor Gail.
Wish they would not have the air conditioner on so cold. Especially this time of year.
Friendly people

Basketball
Danielle (Chair Yoga), Phyllis (Strength and Balance, Tap Dance, Tai Chi), Jessica (Silver Sneakers), Brittney (Cardio Dance), Martha (Strength and Balance), and Amanda (AOA Fitness & Strength, BOOM) have good classes. The addition of hiking group (Jordyn) has been a good fall addition to get us outside in milder weather. Other classes and programs are rather numerous, although it has not been relevant or practical for me to go to most of these. The building is generally clean as usual. The coffee bar is a nice addition although the supply can run low or out fairly easily. First name removed
