The staff and hours are wonderful. The equipment is newer and well maintained.
Pool activities
I just use the pool and I like the facility
I love the vararity of yoga classes and sliver sneakers classes , very thankful for them and the health coverage plans that help cover the entire them. The water excerise programs are so helpful and engenizing. I took adult beginer swim classes and the instructor (Kevin) was Excelent . Would love to continue the class, however it will now only be offered for an attendance of 3 or more. Would love for the Y to promote this class so that more adults would be aware of it and the importance of this type of excerise. It seem there are only two people interested ( my friend and me) Working out in the gym is another of my favorites, however on Sunday's there is not always a trainer or assistant at the desk for help or assistance.
So many youth and senior programs offered. Excellent for our community and its health and social status.
There is a wide variety of activities and generous time slots for a few of them

I LOVE the Geauga YMCA! I love everything about it! From the moment I walk in the door, I am greeted by friendly staff members. It's a very comfortable atmosphere with the most helpful people in the world.
I am a current participant in the Geauga YMCA's Live Strong program, which is a fitness program for people who have had cancer. I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about joining the program because I was VERY far from being physically fit, and I have a bad hip. But I need not have worried. The instructors let me know right away that they didn't expect me to run a marathon; they encouraged me to move at my own pace. But move, I did.
Through the Live Strong program, I am able to try new ways of exercising to improve my strength, balance, and overall fitness level. I had no idea that there were so many different ways to exercise a body!
I haven’t worn a swim suit since sometime in the 1970’s, but I bought one so that I could participate in the pool activities. Believe me; that was a HUGE step for me to take! Using the pool was WONDERFUL! I couldn’t stop laughing while I was in the water because I felt like a kid again! While I was in the water, I could move like I haven’t been able to move in YEARS!
While I was in the water, nothing hurt! Needless to say, using the pool is my favorite activity that I’ve tried so far.
Besides using the swimming pool and the exercise machines at the YMCA, the Live Strong participants also learned how to use free weights, use the barre, and use stability balls. Using the stability balls is my second favorite activity. I enjoyed using the stability balls so much that I bought one for myself to use at home on a daily basis. We are learning about a variety of other fitness activities as well.
I have already lost one clothing size, and I intend to lose more weight as I continue with the Live Strong program and beyond. I plan on maintaining my YMCA membership after the Live Strong program has ended so that I can keep improving my fitness level and so that I can continue to live strong for the rest of my life! I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Live Strong program; it is changing my life for the better!
