Member Testimonials
I like the flexibility of the program and the wide range of equipment in the gym
There is something for everyone. There are many programs that are geared for seniors. It is a comfortable place to make and keep friendships. The staff are helpful and friendly. I have been coming to the Y for 30 years and volunteering for well over 20.
It provides for my needs.
I particularly enjoy the Aquafit sessions, and chair fit with the physiotherapist - wish she could come every week rather than just alternate weeks.
Sometimes, we find that you are stretched a little thin for class instructors, as there is a lot of reliance on volunteers. Perhaps more/better paid instructors are in order, especially considering how much those of us who use the pool are paying
Like the classes
I think the many programs and options available to members provide lot's of options for improving health, fitness and overall wellness (physical, mental and emotional).
something for all levels and ages offered
Great programs and variety of the program. Offer range of activities with varying fitness level and capabilities.
Group fitness classes
The availability of the lap pool and the leisure pool is the reason why I have a membership at the YMCA.
Aquafit is offered twice in the morning, Monday thru Friday.
Aquafit is offered twice in the evening, Tuesday and Thursday, is wonderful for those of us who work shift work.
I also use the steam sauna each visit that I attend during my personal time.
I do not use the steam sauna when I am working and bringing people for swimming at the YMCA.
All of the staff at the YMCA are knowledgeable, courteous, respectful to all patrons who attend.
Friendly and helpful staff, clean facility, lots of variety in programming, great value!
There's something for everyone regardless of age, physical limitations etc.
LOVE the pool
I have been a Y volunteer since the 1970s. Started off just swimming laps, then helped teach swimming for a while. Then aerobics came into being and I became an instructor . Graduated to aquafit at the ‘old Y’ and then to date aquafit instructor at the ‘new y’. Currently my husband and myself come to the Y early to the pool. We like the range of time slots for swimming laps or exercising in the water. The ‘front desk’ attendants - especially Helen- are very pleasant and helpful. John is a permanent fixture and - seems to be there every morning. Thanks, Y, we are both in our late 80s and enjoy keeping fit.
Flexibility for scheduling
Like the classes. Great instructors and a variety of classes offered at different times throughout the day. Like the children’s swimming lessons.
So much to choose from, the facility is amazing and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Friendly clean atmosphere and a wide variety to choose from .
I feel welcomed by name from the time I enter the building until I leave. The gym resources suit my needs and at seventy six years old, I can continue to experience progress. Thanks to all
Yes
First of all the facility is clean, bright, and spacious. The reception staff is friendly and always available and eager to answer questions and assist anyone requesting help. There is a good variety of classes. I would just suggest another time slot for the Friday and Sunday Zumba.
they are all at good times but I wish the smaller pool was open more during the day and more then just Monday wed Friday mornings. I wish it was open every day
Lots of variety
The parent tot seim has rec swim right after it.
I like exercising in the pool
Nice friendly people. I use the Leisure pool three to four times a week and my health has improved. Socializing with the people makes the hour go fast and contributes to my wellbeing. The locker room has also been a great place to meet and socialize with some of the people.
All in all I like the atmosphere.
The fun i have at Aquafit, it’s great to make new friends
Good range of fitness equipment, well maintained facility
Good variety and times offered
