Member Testimonials

I like that you offer pickleball options

I like the variety of choices in physical activities, the way an administrator has listened to me when I need to voice an opinion about something at the Y, and the communication on social media.

The facility is nice and spacious as well as clean and bright. Staff is great and make you feel welcome.

I love the programs, but would like some more cycling and TRX classes in the evenings on either Wednesday or Thursday. Eveything is Monday or Tuesday.

Good variety of options for exercising. Only things missing is a therapeutic warm pool and an outside pool like at Beaumont. Need more open swim area that doesn’t encroach on lap lanes.

Clean friendly environment.

The Whittaker YMCA staff is very friendly and the facilities are great.

My favorite part of the Whitaker YMCA is Pilates Reformer classes (Pam and Monika are amazing!) and group yoga classes (Mary, Dorainne, and Colleen are awesome!). Anything that starts between 8 and 8:30am is perfect because that it's too early so I can get the kids to school and not too late so I can still make it to work at a reasonable time. I am disappointed though that there is no 8:15am pilates reformer class option anymore. We need more 8, 8:15, or 830am pilates reformer classes! Unfortunately I had to go from 2 classes a week to just 1 because there is not another offering at that time. I would love to see more options because these classes are amazing!!

Best place in town

Love the separate lap pool!

The Y is very clean and well managed. Great walking track, pool area. The programs are amazing and there are programs for young and older individuals.

Fit my schedule. Challenging for adults of all ages.

Variety of classes and the different times that are available.

Silver Sneakers classes

I don't use any programs.

The Y has a multitude of programs for all ages. I participate in the water aerobics. For the most part the instructors are wonderful. There is one bad apple but he is an anomaly. the rest of the instructors are top notch. There is nice variety. Your desk support always makes people feel welcomed.

I love the overall cleanliness and state of the facility. We enjoy the pool and use it often. I can’t speak to the fitness classes yet as I haven’t taken any but look forward to it. The childcare is a fantastic option as I have 3 kiddos.

I enjoy using the walking track

I enjoy the facility because it gives me a opportunity to meet older people also because the place is always clean. The one thing that needs attention is the speed of the cars entering and leaving the parking area. They go too fast . Little children trail along behind the parents and they don’t pay attention. You need to occasionally put up a sign for drivers to slow down entering and leaving the parking area.

Your facility and equipments are always well maintained and clean. YMCA staff is very friendly and helpful! Your pickleball activity is so inviting, great exercise, and fun to play and meet people.
