Member Testimonials

Egym is a great program. Easy to use and I like that it challenges me to work harder to achieve my goals.

People are very nice, also employees, and the facilities are always clean and well kept.

I attend the Senior exercise class 4-5 days a week and have been since before Covid. I thoroughly enjoy the instructors and class members and this is a big part of my live.

Before I started going to Y-it hadn't opened yet-I went to Planet Fitness for a few months. The exercise area was all on same floor and the weight-lifting area was right there among machines, There were signs up in WL area that told people they needed to set the weights down, not just drop them.

WL area at Whittier Y has no such signage and those bone-heads just drop them. Our exercise room is directly below that area and is a BIG distraction to our classes. And an even bigger annoyance,

I would think that management/people[ in charge might do something to change this behavior. It's not only seniors who use that room but children as well.I think everyone would appreciate it.

Please consider it.

Thank you,
Cheryl Bickley

everyone is professional and cordial.

Great group classes

Friendly instructors. Good class selection.

The Whitaker Family YMCA is an excellent physical service place.

Love the E GYM
Friendly staff

Wish there were more spray bottles around to clean gym equipment

Adult oriented workout sessions.

I LIKE THE WALKING AREA AND i LIKE the swimming area.

Everyone is friendly. And the class instructors,
Do not push you. You go at your own pace. I'm just now getting back into the gym and I love it.

Love the childcare center. Facilities are top notch.

However, lane pool is a bit of a letdown.

Only 3 lanes, shallow end is extremely shallow (can’t flip turn or you’ll hit your head), and there are no indicator flags on one end (safety issue, so if you’re doing a back stroke you don’t know when to turn over).

Great pool area! Clean, modern facilities. Need dedicated pickleball area, though. E-gym always too crowded…maybe add another set? More beginner aerobic classes needed.

I have taken Pilates with Kara Best for the past year. She is amazing. Her patience and kindness are 2 of her best qualities. She explains the moves and helps everyone to become the best version of themselves. She is an asset to the Y and your Pilates program.

I like the cleanliness, weight machine options, bigger pool and hot tub

I really like the EGYM and all of the other modern equipment, I love the Whitaker gym. It is always clean, and the staff is always friendly.

The team that runs it and clean environment

I don’t live close enough to this ymca to visit often. But I like to go on the weekends rather than the Beaumont y, my home y, because it is more spacious and the weight machines are arranged in a way that makes it very way to circuit train.

Everything

The pool

sselaser.org likes Everything!

So many offerings for classes, great equipment, nice spaces, and so many amenities! All for a great price.

Love the pool area & group swim lessons for my child. Shaolin class has also been a hit. Great facilities & usually very clean!

I like the pool.

Wide range of classes, equipment. Clean facilities, cheerful staff

Very friendly to people, regardless of where they are on their fitness or well-being journey. I like the variety, too.

Pool water has been cold for 2 weeks.

Variety of classes and community.

Love the Monday, Wednesday, Friday fitness classes.
Like the circuit exercise, but have to teach people to start anywhere on the circuit, where there is an empty machine.
