Like the track and exercise equipment, especially the equipment where you just push in the pegs to set the resistance.
Love the Silver Sneakers class. Hope it is on Saturday morning
I like the yoga for older people because you can just drop in and don’t have to sign up in advance
Great classes. Friendly staff.
I like silver sneakers and over 55 classes. Great instructors!
My personal trainer, Yvonne Stella
Friendly atmosphere. Classes are fun. Variety.
Great facility - friendly staff - lots of activities - silver sneakers is accepted - activities are free to members - classes are walk in (most classes) - the instructors of the classes that I take are very helpful, friendly and are quick to have everyone adapt the movements if necessary for them.
It’s a great place and I point that out to everyone!
Love coming to the French Creek Y. But why is the water in the competition pool so cool. Is it because the air conditioning is too low and cold in locker rooms and pool area? Can locker rooms be a little warmer. People have mentioned it.
Great place to work out!
Also enjoy the AOA program with Kathy!
rec pool and clean locker area are great
My son loves goung.
The summer sports camp was absolutely beautifully organized. My son had a blast.
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.

Great yoga
