The pool lane swimming schedule.
Membership plus change room.
The friendly staff and the availability of the programs help me keep my kids active and safe in the water.
I have been a long time member of the Center Branch Y. I chose it because it was close to where I live and met my needs to have a place to exercise on a regular basis.
I am still able to swim, do the yoga and work out on the machines upstairs. I did not know how much I would miss it until it was shut down over the COVID crisis. I was able to do the yoga in my basement but I missed the fellowship that you get when you work out with a class.
I give the Y the credit that I am still able to live and maintain my own home because of the programs and activities that the Y has provided for all age groups. Thank You
It's amazing 😍
Swimming instructor is patient with my son .
Location. Swim instructors are great with the kids
Deep aquafit is great exercise and the instructor loves what he does, so that makes it fun!
Swimming lessons are a good length of time to get some instruction and then time to practice. It’s all well organized!
Staffs are very friendly and approachable.
The great energy in the room, the friendly people, and the knowledgeable instructors.
The instructors are great as well as the overall facility, but there are some caveats; the men’s change room is incredibly cold and could use some general repairs. Feels like getting changed in a concrete garage. The pool is also quite cold, but bearable. Despite this, both my boys (2 and 5 years old) LOVE swimming at the YMCA. The kids playroom in what used to be a squash court is also a big hit with my boys. Thank you
Great for learn to swim and exercise
I like how I can have all three of my children learning to swim at the same time, in different classes. Being able to have multiple classes at multiple times makes this an easy experience to plan for. Plus we have had nothing but amazing instructors! Thank you for your patience and hard work.
Good variety of equipment.
Good location, choice of activities, good people!
It's a very welcoming atmosphere & the instructors are great!
Love the Group fitness - Active and Power. Love the instructions who are such a wonderful group of people.
Love the socializing in the locker room.
Everything
It’s just peaceful, quiet and a good way to have some exercise.
I love aqua fit ! And just working out in the gym. I really wish that the hours were better. I was surprised to find out how early it closes on the weekend. I hope that this changes so i can take my kids swimming in the afternoon and work out Fri and Sat evening ..I am a night person .
I belong to the Wellspring Cancer Support Center and can not thank you the YMCA and Wellspring enough for your support. Thank you.
All it's nice 😌
Daily aquafit classes!
The staff is always super helpful and friendly. My main activities are the gym and the pool. Both facilities serve my needs really well.
And the location is extremely convenient and accessible for me, with many bus routes and bike paths nearby. As I am sure for many other individuals who might not have the means to reach other branches if they don't have access to a car. I'm really grateful there is a YMCA downtown. Both my physical and mental health get a big boost because of the Y Centre Branch
I joined a few weeks ago and haven't yet participated in any programs, but I do enjoy the fitness area and like that the environment is so welcoming and inclusive.
Centre branch Y is a community!!
Lane swimming. Wish it could start at 6:15 a.m.

I like the variety of classes and times they are available.
