Member Testimonials
I like swimming/pool area. The new class of TaichiFit is a great class addition. I also enjoy Christine's Yoga and Meditation class. The Geauga Y has great equipment and just a relaxing, friendly atmosphere.
The staff is very friendly, everything is clean and instructors are great!! Oh and the members are friendly, too. I joined a few months ago and participate in classes 5-6 days a week. Sometimes two classes a day! Classes are as tough as you wish to make them! Thank you to everyone at Geauga YMCA!

Variety of things to do
I have not done anything but use some of the exercise machines.
I love the Activities for Older Adults and ALL the employees at the Geauga Y are so friendly and willing to assist. Programs are OUTSTANDING!
Water exercise
I use the equipment in the fitness room, the sauna, the hot pool and the showers. All are very good and well maintained. Then there's the management and staff - all are positive, uplifting people.
Clean facilities, pleasant helpful staff. Great hours. Gym equipment in good shape
I’ve only been to the Chardon facility a couple of times and I only took showers. I looked around a little. I did notice that you have (monitors?) in the weight room and In the cardio room. A good precaution. I have been to a number of other Ys and maybe one had someone in the room.
Everything is well run, employees are friendly and helpful. I’m enjoying the facility and activities.
Very like it. Just going to workout.
The Silver Sneakers programs are excellent. Has helped so much with physical mobility and it is a great way to meet some very nice people

Love their pool for the kids
pickle ball.
All we use is the gym/weight machines.
Generally we are quite impressed with the facility and the equipment but would offer these strong suggestions:
1) Get the management team involved in the gym. It has become somewhat common for patrons to not wipe off the equipment before or after use. Although the Y employees do a wipe,it is coursery in nature and a few Y members need to be reminded to extend the courtesy of a wipe.
2) Get management involved in moving members off the equipment between sets. A common complaint is that once a set is completed, members stay seated, pull out phones and tie up the equipment for several minutes. Three sets can take twenty minutes or more.
3) Encourage members to not use the equipment as a place for a gab session. It is common for long conversations to take place while seated on a machine.
Obviously these are not all day, every day complaints but they do represent significant opportunities for improvement.
