Member Testimonials
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.
All is great when all the system is working which is most of the time.
It would be super higenetically nice if the Shower area, Wet & Dry Saunas plus Zaquzzi where pressure cleaned a least once a week.Now that winter is over, the Locker rubber floor mats could use a nice wash.
Otherwise all is okay to still be a Y Member.
Regretfully, although I approve of all the programs and activities I've heard of, other commitments have prevented me from participation in most group activities so far. Hope to free up time in the future ...
I like the set up of the center branch and enjoying my menbership
Geared to various abilities.
Social aspects.
Great instructors.
Excellent leadership.
Wide range of activities for seniors
I feel welcome every time I visit, the front desk staff always give me a wave and a smile which encourages me to come back. I'm at the very start of my fitness journey but I feel comfortable coming to Central branch. I also love the videos the team make for the Facebook page- e.g. the vid to explain the parking situation during the King St construction. Having the info in video format helped me feel less anxious / stopped me from making excuses not to show up ;)
Great swimming lessons for my toddler. Convenient location!
Great.place
I love the Aquafina classes.
Accessibility, friendliness.
I haven't indulged in any because I only have basic membership. That said, I'm glad I can use the squash court! :-)
I enjoyed the Aquafit class - great instructor! It would be nice to have more room in the deep area when the class gets large, i.e., an extra lane.
Time to swim how ever the under ground parking needs more lighting. Kind of scary at night
Friendly staff - schedule -
Wonderful change room now that a swim membership gives you the plus change room. Far superior to the Stoney Creek change room.
Everything!!! Just the whole program!
Love the change rooms as well
I only use the lane swim and love that it is available for 7:15. I find all the staff are so friendly and helpful .
I would like your location to sell visits for a price. Ie. 10 visits to CBY for $50.
Plus program is excellent value
Group classes and lane swimming
I like your program

Staff and volunteers extremely helpful and knowledgeable, feels like a down to earth community
