Member Testimonials
I like the silver sneakers program. Jenna does a great job. I only wish it was three days a week.
Love the classes
Nice workers, lots of equipment therefore no waiting.
Very friendly and helpful
I recently retired and one of the things I was going to do is join the Y. I have waited decades to become a member. I am enjoying the swim classes, the ability to reserve a lane to swim laps and all the friends I have been making. The staff is exemplary! They already know my name and greet me every morning I am there, which is Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (sometimes Saturdays). The facility is clean and I feel very comfortable working out during the pandemic. They make sure we maintain our social distance and are very organized. Thank you Southgate "Y". My retirement is so more fun, I more active and getting into the best shape of my life because of you!

Friendly staff
You employ some very caring and dedicated employees, the the place is clean, and tidy.. need to do something with the mats upstairs a note or a sign, they are just laying around. never was like that. so I think members need some direction..

My experience was much better than I thought.Everything was very clean and everyone was spaced far enough apart.I was extremely hesitant to go back to the gym but happy I did.Masks are required and everyone I saw was masked up.As long as everyone does what they’re supposed to we can all get back to normal.
