Member Testimonials

I love the warm pool and have enjoyed the Pilates Reformer classes I have attended.

Since our local Y opened here in Hamburg, my wife, our three children and our nine grandchildren have from time to time used the machines on the second floor, the lap and open swim pools, the sauna, heat tub, steam room, and the gymnasium; we have been highly satisfied with every component. Linda and I are now 74 years old and have in the past taken advantage of the pool exercise program and were exceedingly pleased with that experience. But to me, as important as the activities is the strong leadership and management Director Dana Ensley provides. In addition to being highly competent, she is also a very professional, caring person; and I have found that the staff working under her reflect her compassion for others, focus on customer service, and productivity. Our Y is certainly well managed.

We love the Y: people are friendly & supportive of families. As a single mother, child watch is a Godsend to know they are safe & having fun while I’m working out. We then usually swim as a family or play basketball in the gym which is great during winter when there’s not much to do. The Y was particularly awesome when covid19 hit as it supplied emergency back up care to my kids so I could work -the quality of the program was high. Lastly my daughter has been at camp x3years & loves it. I’m so glad to have a clean, safe place that is family friendly & great to come work out several times/week.

Love the pool, walking track, ellipticals and childcare. I plan to let my kiddos do some sports programs there soon!

Aquatic center

Group fitness

Nice Facility

Equipment in workout area.

We mostly go to the Northside YMCA (closer to our house, love it too!) but started coming here because of childcare while working out.

We really appreciate the facilities—pool, fitness, walking track—as well as the people who work in childcare. They’re all so attentive and lovely. We were particularly touched when they gave our daughter a “letter from Santa” over Christmas. So cute, and she loved it! :)

The instructors are THE BEST!!!! Amanda for Zumba, Kim Riggs for Kettlebell and of course Allison for practically everything else!!!!! LOVE them all!!!

The staff is fantastic, facility is well taken care of

All the options

Timing of workshops and activities should be scheduled according to participants lifestyle.

The sign in and out process is easy and the staff are very friendly

Love pilates reformer classes and personal training options (Rebecca is great!). I really wish there were more evening yoga options in person at Whitaker. That was what got me started at the Y, but I have had to fond other activities due to limited in person yoga offerings. I am thankful for getting the experience of other new areas, but I would live more yoga too! Thanks for adding the Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon yoga in person sessions starting this month! Overall the facility is very clean, not crowded, and creates a safe family environment to workout. Very pleased overall!

The programs are all very structured and great workouts.

It's convenient and a warm welcoming community for people of all fitness and ability levels. You can do high intensity athletic training or just try to loose a few pounds.

Group exercise classes have been a huge help during the pandemic. The efforts taken to continue them over zoom and live (in small numbers) really made a difference in my mental and physical health. Thanks!

The upstairs wellness workout area and the pool

Professional instruction while also watching COVID precautions

Good facilities.

Have all the programs I need. Staff very friendly and helpful!

Love the machine and equipment available in the weight room.

I appreciate the variety of programs and activities our family primarily does lap swimming but we have also participated in summer camp and group classes. We appreciate the friendly staff and we are comfortable with all COVID 19 protocols including the mask requirements. Thanks!

Thank you for all that you do for the community! The facility is always clean and in good shape. I disagree with the mask requirement for working out since the Governor’s mandate was lifted. It is very difficult to workout in a mask and is not safe. But other than that I enjoy my time working out at the Whitaker YMCA.

Very clean exercise rooms, locker rooms and common areas.

Everything, would be great if open later into the evening though

It keeps me active, and In shape, and always gives me challenges and goals to face everyday.
Everyone is so nice, and always willing to motivate me to take new challenges.💪🏾💪🏾

I love the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. Great place with great people

Working during the day doesn’t allow me to participate in many programs. In the ones I have been able to attend, I am always impressed by the instructors. Very knowledgeable and professional. Keep up the good work.
