Fun and great experience

My daughter has taken martial arts classes for 5 years!. Great program. She just earned her black belt!

Really nice facility. Staff is very helpful and friendly. So many choices of ways to exercise for everyone.

I like the variety of classes offered and the expertise of the instructors.
Participants in the classes are welcoming and friendly.
The staff is also friendly and helpful.

Spacious swimming pool, friendly staff.

All fitness programs are covered in the monthly membership.

Friendly people in class and leading it. Realistic goals for seniors in class and in fitness room when reviewing machines. Hours are good. Lots of equipment available

I have been taking the senior exercise classes with Jamie for many years. I find Jamie to be a wonderful instructor as well as a very friendly, caring instructor. I also am taking the yoga chair class on Fridays now and I also am finding that to be a good class and the instructor is excellent.

The instructors are very good and caring. the administrative staff are very helpful. and the people you meet are very friendly.

I really like Lisa (our teacher). She makes the class fun and really cares about all of us. I’m getting exercise, and I feel like I’m getting stronger and steadier. I’m a senior, and that’s important to me.

The Farmington Y is a wonderful workout facility as it has numerous aerobic classes (with morning, midday and evening options), experienced instructors, a free weights room, personal training room, large room with many machines to work out on ( treadmills, elliptical & weights), full size pool, zero depth entry heated pool, indoor basketball & pickelball courts, an indoor walking track, sauna, jacuzzi, personal trainers (for a fee), free childcare for members attending classes or working out in the facility, aquatic classes (for older adults) and swim lessons (for children). We have everything! But the best part is all of the Y members who are good, kind, caring individuals. Stop by, take a tour and check us out!

Clean well kept. Great front desk attendants.

The price and facility
The active adult classes with Jamie is the best thing ever

The quality exercise classes, the friends we have made, and the welcoming staff.

Wonderful fitness classes

Staff Great

great workout classes

I appreciated the lesson instructor instructions, great swim coach, plan to take next session

The timing for the HIIT, Bodypump, and Cross Training classes are convenient for me. Lyn is a fantastic instructor, I love any class that she teaches. The instructors and the Y members are very welcoming and friendly. I am fairly new to the Y and already feel like family. In addition, the facility is kept very clean.

Janet was a great instructor!

I like that you have 2 pools

I like the gym and the multiple fitness areas. I also like there's fitness classes available.

I love the therapy pool and the Easy Does it exercise classes with Lisa. I feel it is improving my health and my energy levels. I love that the pool caters to older adults, and the classes are designed with that in mind.

I feel very strongly that the friendliest people go to the Farmington Y. Every person I meet has a "hello" or "have a good day." Not once have I met someone rude.

I feel the cleanliness of the shower area is excellent, as it the water temp./water pressure of the showers. The locker room is always clean and well maintained.

I wish there were fewer class cancellations due to lifeguard shortages, but I respect that, and know management is doing everything possible to hire more lifeguards. It is very frustrating when class is cancelled, or the schedule is confusing. We frequently (like today) have no idea what the schedule is going to be like, even the next day or two.

My number one complaint is the water temperature and the air temperature of the pool. It is frequently too cold. This is a therapy pool. We need it warm. Today for example, we had a fell class, over 25 people and we were all freezing. Yes, the air temp was 80F, but when you're wet, that's way too cold. The pool is frequently too cold. Yes, I know it always says 88F, but with cold air, we all get chilled.

I will continue going to the Y. The benefits outweigh any problems, but please, listen to Lisa when she says we're cold. Treat her like the professional she is.

I love the fitness classes. Everyone is very nice. I wish that body pump on Tuesdays and Thursdays didn’t start so early. 5:10pm is a difficult time for people who have work. I also wish there were Friday evening classes and more than one class on Sundays.

Everyone is super nice and friendly.
Lisa’s Aqua class is amazing !!

I have been taking classes in the Robertson Therapy Pool for nearly a decade. Our instructor Lisa is an exceptional person, who is very knowledgeable, loving and helpful.

I, however, take issue with the inconsistency of both the air and water temperatures of that pool. To be considered a therapy pool, there are strict guidelines. In the past, the Farmington Family YMCA partnered with the Arthritis Foundation and provided classes. Since they were certified a “therapy” pool, it was also used as a facility for physical therapy clinics in the area, thus providing additional revenue for the Y as well as physical relief for many. Sadly, the Robertson Pool no longer meets the qualifications for this affiliation. It’s imperative that the Farmington Family YMCA reinvest in this under-appreciated resource and buy a new boiler, if need be, to insure temperature consistency and reinstate its Arthritis Foundation certification.

Great facility, nice people, great environment

It’s a real community. We love FFYS and hope it continues to have our support. The classes are great. Lisa and Stefana (I think I have the right twin) are amazing water aerobic teachers. They should be paid more!!!! I observe senior citizens and the value that the Y provides for them to have a community. Everyone takes care of each other.

Very friendly environment

The teaching is supported by the level of each instructor helping you reach your swimming goal.
