Member Testimonials
Everyone at the Chardon YMCA is so kind & helpful! It's always a fun & friendly place to visit!
Variety of classes and the pool for swimming laps
I use the exercise equipment and the pool. I am in the process of rehabbing from back surgery. The equipment and pool area are always in good repair and as long as I check the pool schedule and come at the right time, I am able to use the facilities that I need to complete my rehab activities.
I enjoy the classes in the gym with Meanie, Sue and Jay. .I go about 3 times a week.
They all are very friendly and it makes me feel better after going
I try to go to the Aqua class a couple times a month
sometimes I go to a cardio class too
I tried the circuit once but did not feel like I learned how to use the machines well and have not been back
I may try for another update so I am more comfortable using the machines
The children services are amazing, the fitness facility, swimming pool and kid area, and all around we love it here and so do our kids!
I like the kettle ball, aqua aerobics and lap swim the best. I am also looking forward to being able to take a spin class in a group environment
Group exercise classes
I love the EGYM. The front desk staff is outstanding! Always very helpful.
One thing you can do better in the workout room is better coaching for new members on gym etiquette. People are constantly cutting in front of me or taking 45 sec to a minute to wipe down their machines. They don’t seem to get that it’s a circuit.
I like the trips that the Active Older Adults take. It's nice to get out with other people and leave the driving to someone else.
Water arobics is my ❤️ favorite
Well managed, well scheduled fun and age appropriate.
Amanda in Chardon made it very easy to enroll and she layed out the practice & game schedules for our groups.
Good variety of classes, I particularly like BODY PUMP with mixture of young and older people.
However, I don't like Pickleball settings. There is not enough space available from the court; though Diane said it's okay to step in to serve. If I did so, people complained and majority of the people are overly aggressive.
The staff is very friendly and helpful and the activities coordinator does a great job with the seniors !!!!!
Great instructors, and a variety of activities/classes to choose from. Love it here!
Pool
Very safe and age appropriate
The life guards are the best! They take a lot of grief from people and handle themselves very professionally.
I like the ninja class!!
Pretty good range of classes, very nice people
Easy to get a workout in.
Variety of activities for all age groups
Programs and activities are appropriate for my age group, yet are challenging. The staff in every departments is wonderful!!!
Great variety of classes and enriching activities for life
I like the opportunity, variety, and scheduling availability of the Ys programs. There is room for anyone to find an activity at a time which is convenient to them and their families.
I appreciate there is also a trainer available whenever I am working alone and have a question.
There are a variety of activities to get you in shape and keep you there. Whether you prefer group classes or solo workouts, there is something for everyone at the Y.
I like the variety and I like the new egym equipment
