Member Testimonials
The counselors are great with the kids and they really do keep them busy throughout the day. As parents, the only thing we would like to see are updates/photos throughout the day (most likely on an app) in lieu of the weekly print out.
The kids love it. The communication is great. The attention to detail is great. The price is very reasonable.
Available programs and open hours for exercise!
Yoga classes
Organization, positive energy
Amazing!!! My son absolutely loves sports and Fine Arts camp! Wonderful counselors, fantastic organizer (Hannah), and a safe atmosphere!
Very well organized.
The character development is a wonderful learning experience with great values. My child Deklin loves going to the YMCA . Deklin enjoys interacting with the other children. All the teachers are great! They make sure it’s a safe learning environment. I appreciate everything that French Creek does with/for my child.

I love the water programs. I like the early morning. I go to Gail's class. I go Tuesday at 9:30 when I can make it. I would like a 8 o'clock on Tuesday and Thursday. I miss Maggie's class.
I get in some lap swimming, sauna and hot tub during the afternoon hours. I really would like to see the jets of the hot tub pressure increased they are a little weak. Other than that I have enjoyed using this YMCA and have referred it to other members.
I was visiting the area and used the French Creek YMCA for my cardio workout that I do three times a week. I have a Silver Sneakers membership which gives me access to any Y in the area.
I found this YMCA to be very clean and in good shape. The cardio equipment and weights were also clean; in good shape; and well organized. The members and staff were friendly and wiped down the equipment after using it. You can't ask for more that that! Well done!
The instructors are wonderful in silver sneakers
There are a lot of things for senior citizens to do. Helps keep me going.
The pool and overall facilities
I've been a member since late Nov. 2011. My primary workout program is swimming. My name is James Kilgore, from Avon Lake.
As a Christian Believer, the only thing I was dismayed at, was finding a LBGTQ+) Pride acceptance sign in the front window of the Y (I've just returned from a 2 week, plus vacation and saw the sign June 27, 2022).
I believe in the dignity of all people...but as a Believer in Christ and seeing this sign, I was taken aback. Has the Y now succumbed to going Woke, like so many corporations?
I do believe all are welcome @ the Y ; but, my stance, as is our Church's stance - Hate the Sin, And Love (show compassion) to the sinner)....this sign in my opinion, welcomes/approves all that they stand for ; and I think it's wrong, and very sad that the Y has chosen to cave...and apparently thinks nothing is wrong with the (LGBTQ+) agenda.
Sorry, but goes against everything the Word of God stand for....and you can quote me on this.
The swimming programs are led wonderfully.
They are all hood and outstandingly designed for all age individuals to attend happily.
Your exceptional Senior Developer special person is Kathy McKean. All the special attention and love she puts in each and every program is so perfectly thought of.
We all feel we wish we could Clone her. For everyone to love and enjoy.

Love the yoga classes and the instructors
The gym has all the equipment one can use for a great workout. Easy access and a nice clean facility.
All the the evening classes you offer during the week.
I love the pool. I’m 80 years old with knee replacement and a hip replacement. The pool let’s me exercise. I feel great after an hour in the pool.
I Love the "YMCA"'S Aquatic Programs!! They've Really Helped me with my Health Issues!!
Thank You!!!
Friendly, helpful staff. The equipment I like to use is all available
I’m so impressed with Samantha, aquatics director. She shows a fair balance with the kids’ summer water activities, kids swimming lessons, and the lifeguards ‘attention to detail’. I’m a silver sneaker member and greeted with a warm smile each n every day.
Well done, Samantha!

Bus trips are excellent
Cathy does an excellent job.
Classes, especially spin.
I like the water classes. Aqua Zumba is my favorite. Angie is so much fun and really motivates you. Gail on the other hand needs to let people have fun and change up the class occasionally.

The summer sports camp was absolutely beautifully organized. My son had a blast.
