Member Testimonials
I play pickle ball in Forrest.
Love it. Facilities are great. And so is the staff.
i started in 2019 after heart surgery and found a lot of activities that helped bring my health back to normal
Employees very personable and helpful.
I like being regulated and doing my own program.
Spin classes are my favourite. My kids loved the day-camp this summer (they went one week in July and one in August). I really miss the Wave machine; hope you'll bring it back when spacing allows machines to be closer.
I like the variety of classes. It was the spin classes that initially brought me to the Y instead of other local fitness providers. Looking forward to the return of a full range of classes.
The staff is very knowledgeable and super friendly. Even the manager goes out of his way to try and learn everyone's name. Going there feels like coming home.
I like how clean and accessible the gym is. The front desk people are always welcoming and helpful. One thing I do miss is the key fobs. I liked having my set programmes on there, and not having to count my reps or remember what weight I used because the key fob did it for me. Also, I would prefer that they don’t play music because I like to have quiet time with my thoughts. I don’t like listening to someone else’s music. When I do want to listen to music while working out, I take my headphones.
that I can go to a small gym, be comfortable and work out. It is very convenient. The hours could be better.
The staff are very friendly and informative. The space is very welcoming and accessible.
I like all the weight machines, bikes & treadmills!
I've had nothing but a positive experience at the YMCA Lambton Shores location. Friendly staff who are always ready to assist, and say hello. Clean atmosphere with quality equipment. I don't think it matters if you're a beginner or a seasoned gym goer, you'll have a positive experience and leave a better person. Keep up the great work team!
The gym is always very clean and organized. I appreciate that the members seem to share the same respect for the space as the staff do. I look forward to the continued re-opening of group exercise programs and the additional features of the gym (change rooms, etc.) We are happy to have our gym available to us again as we do not access to exercise equipment elsewhere.
I only use the equipment because I don't enjoy any organized classes. I love working out at my own pace using the equipment. I find it clean and well maintained and the staff are friendly and helpful.
i like it
I do my own program. I just like having access to all the equipment. Also everyone is very friendly.
I like the teachers and the variety of group classes.
Excellent & friendly staff, new equipment overall 10/10 .
Staff and friendly and very helpful. Gym is clean and well organized.
I enjoy the machines, group classes and friendly staff. I feel machines and fellow exercisers are safely spaced out.
Other the last three years or so as a member I have always been treated with the upmost amount of respect, kindness and generally like part of a bigger family. The staff is always friendly and happy to say hello, or ask how I'm doing. Not only is the YMCA good for my physical health, it's also good for my mental health, not just from the exercised, but also from the staff.
The gym is always cleaned to a high standard, and you'll always catch one of the staff members wiping or cleaning something. Especially during a trying time of Covid-19 they go the extra mile - which sets my mind at ease day in and day out that it's a safe place to be for my daily workout.
I'd even go as far as to say that most of the members embody that same spirit of health, happiness and cleanliness. They all want the same thing - a safe place to workout, with positive growth mentally and physically.
I love my Lambton Shores YMCA. Keep up the great work team!!
Usually only use the gym for my workout. I used to go to yoga but my membership is for gym only. I am really not happy about that change at all. Am not planning to upgrade my membership to attend 1 hr yoga class per week.
