I like that you offer the trips and I'd like to see your program
Pockleball
We primarily use the equipment, it is well maintained, clear, and usually available. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming.
The pool for my grandkids.
There's something for everybody here. My trainer is very skilled at designing a fitness program that meets my specific needs.
Well organized and great instructors!
Everything!
I love the special activities for seniors.
nice people. nice clean facility with everything one needs to get in shape
All of the classes, instructors and Front Desk Staff!!!!
I like the convenience of the YMCA.
I like the many options to exercise at the Y and the friendly staff.
The only negative I have is due to the guests who ignore the rules. I see many folks use and sweat on machines and then leave and go on to the next without wiping up after themselves. It has gotten to the point that unless I see someone wipe a machine down, I will wipe it before and after I use it.
Last week there was a worse incident, a man was sitting on a machine for 15 minutes or more carrying on a conversation on his phone. During that time, I used 4 other machines and when that was the last machine I needed to use I saw him finally finish his conversation, do one set on the machine, get up and walk away! No care or concern for others. I was prepared to confront him if necessary but I shouldn't have to do that. No staff was around and the office door was closed...very frustrating.
The choice of classes and the great, friendly instructors.
Not having to register for many classes. Good instructors.
Swimming and weight machines
Enjoy the diversity of activities.
The employees I encounter are very friendly and helpful. I had an episode where I became very lightheaded after I used the fitness center, and they were very helpful getting me through it. It turned out to be problem with my meds which my doctor adjusted.
Great programs for seniors. Wonderful staff
The gym has all the equipment I’ll ever need and the childcare makes it possible.
great staff, very helpful, polite, wonderful group of clients, clean, community friendly showing off local artists
location
Really don’t do any programs or activities. Just go to do weight training.
We currently use the pool but we are interested in the gym and other programs or kid friendly activities. We want to do the gym next but childcare is our issue at the moment
The aquatics program has been an incredible experience for my 3 boys! They have learned so many new skills in the water and are much more confident swimmers!
As far as I can tell, the Chardon YMCA has really upped their classes and teachers to meet the community needs/wants
I like the variety of time of the classes so I can fit it into my schedule.
visiting different location.

frindly and great weight ,\machines

I really love the group exercise classes at the Geauga YMCA! The instructors are terrific whether it’s Jay’s Cardio and Strength Blast, Melanie’s Cycle and Core, or Cassie’s BODYPUMP, I feel stronger and I look fitter! I like that they also introduce new classes here, too! When I’m off in the summer, I like to take advantage of the morning classes they offer (great variety!). There is a class for everyone, no matter your age or ability!
I’ve been trying to get my best friend to join, but the joiner fee is a downside for her. I’m hoping they offer a deal soon for people who wish to join during the summer months. Hopefully, the newbies that join in the summer will love this Y as much as I do and choose to continue their membership year round!
Please keep doing what you’re doing and maybe it would be beneficial to offer a few classes in the fall prior to 6:00 PM for those who wish to come to the Y directly after work.
All in all, after all these years of being a proud member of the Geauga Y, I would definitely recommend this facility. I have formed many relationships with staff and members alike. I sincerely enjoy coming here and meeting up with some of the most caring people I’ve ever met!
