Member Testimonials
Lane swimming. Large pool, comfortable water temperature. Nice dressing rooms and towel service.
Everything is very organized and arranged in such a way to participate in multiple sequential classes.
location, best staff in every department, fellow patrons, downtown vibe, odd, unique layout, facilities
The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful during my visit.
Friendly staff, clean center..
I love the lane swimming and everyone - staff and members - is friendly. It is the best Y I've been to. I really appreciate having the towel service in the Men Plus. I would like to suggest longer morning/noon lane time on Saturday (currently 12noon-12:45). Also, with the current swim time ending at 12:45pm on Saturday, a 1pm close time leaves members pressured to leave quickly.
Thank you,

The pool; good programs; lots of space
I like the simplicity of the membership and that I can pay up front for membership fees.
Staff are really great and friendly.
Food counter has awesome healthy items at an affordable price
I don’t use the pool as part of my membership.
I would like to participate in more activities like pilates, zumba, aerobics, personal trainers and acqua fitness for 60 plus. It's hard to get personalized fitness for lower income seniors.
I like being part of a community that is more than a gym. The dedication to social and community programs, education and mentorship are values I hold dear about the Y.
I enjoy the diversity and intergenerational programming.
The Y’s awareness towards ableism and fostering accessibility is something you don’t find at other physical fitness facilities.
Great fitness classes, weight, yoga, active, spin class & turf.
Great instructors for said classes...
Fortunate enough to have several ymca's close so there is a
Large variety of times for said classes.
I like the plus facility's at my home y...hot tub ,steam room, sauna, social area as well as equipment for working out.
Great members as well..very much a family community setting..
It has everything you need for keeping fit, good health, good companionship, etc. etc.
Clean equipment

Welcoming vibes all around!
Group classes are amazing. The coaches are super warm and extremely helpful. I recently started my Y thrive and the coach was very accomodating and really paid attention to my form during exercises.
I like the swimming pool very much. I enjoy the relaxation area being able to have a snack and drink. If I may I'd like to say that I do miss the hot tub in the pool area. I hope you may be able to reopen it in the future. Thank you for caring.
Very affordable nice place nice workers full recommend
I swim every day I can and the pool is run well . The men’s plus change room is also a great benefit - used widely and appreciated.
That they are free and many different types of activities
I love the people there very friendly and helpful
Staff and volunteers extremely helpful and knowledgeable, feels like a down to earth community
The Centre Branch YMCA provides a safe and inclusive environment to all members of the community to pursue their health and wellness goals. The staff are awesome!!
I am trying to get an appointment with someone from the YThrive program but just am repeatedly told to call next week, next week comes and we start again.
Other than that it appears well equipped
Swimming and exercise equipment.
All of them ! My favourite is boot camp and yoga !!
I like the group classes and the pool. I like to swim lengths. I wish there were more group fight classes during the day.
There is a good variety of classes. I would like to see some of the past classes come back for seniors though
I enjoy the variety.
Haven’t used them more than once but friendly.
The aquafit is great but need to have more evening classes.
I like the weights and the hottub
