Member Testimonials

I love the YMCA! It is truly a second home to me. I started my fitness journey here in the early 2000s and now have the honor of being a group exercise instructor here. I have made the best friends through the Y who have truly become my second family. The YMCA is so much more than a gym. It is a community, a family, a feeling. It is a place where we all belong. I love this place!

I love the yoga and Egym offering.

Clean space and decent equipment and good environment.

Whitaker is indeed an immense benefit to all ages, mentally and physically. Ron and Will are a tribute to your enterprise. I would urge better maintenance on recumbent bicycles, regular stationary bikes, electronic treadmills. On many machines, most evident with stationary bikes, fans do not work, cable TV does not work, and the machines that break down completely are out of commission for a long time without attention. It appears that TV cables are without protection from wayward feet and when cables are bent when stepped on, the minute wiring within is compromised by the extreme crimping.

Several options for classes. E-Gym is great but so many times, you can’t get on the machines due to it’s popularity.

Friendliness of people

Egym
Indoor Pool

Everyone has been friendly and encouraging.

I enjoy all aspects of the Whitaker YMCA. I play Mah Jongg, attend Silver Sneakers, use the e-Gym and elliptical as well as group exercise classes like Functional Fitness. It is a wholesome, community-centered staff who cares deeply about the folks who go there to work out, meet friends, reach health goals and spend time evaluating personal progress and goals. I care very much about this location as my “second home”!

Love the equipment and being close to where I live 😄

I don't use programs and activities

I love the clean, friendly environment and the wonderful instructors and trainers. The desk personnel have been so helpful and welcoming too. So thankful to have this facility to meet friends and improve my health.

Varied times and locations for all ages and great coaches

I have only used the pool but enjoy swimming there. I also enjoy Whit Whittaker’s aqua fitness classes. He is an excellent instructor!

The e-gym is a fantastic program. I would like to see some signage (or better orientation) for newcomers. People sometimes stay at a station if they don't get started on time, causing disruption to the flow and forcing everyone behind them to jump around on the machines. The training staff is doing a really good job staying in the allotted machine cycle when getting someone onboarded.

The Y seems to have stepped up its game with the new management and customer friendly staff. It is greatly appreciated!

Staff don’t discriminate against people with disabilities.

Very good infrastructure, convinent program schedules, very good instructors and friendly staff.

I like the many different types of classes offered and particularly like the EGym for strength training

The Pilates Reformer program at Whitaker Y is such a wonderful offering. Pam and Colleen are excellent instructors who take the time to explain and make certain that participants are doing the exercises properly and assure that they get maximum benefit.

I enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the Y. Front desk is always friendly and helpful and the Y is nicely maintained.
