Member Testimonials
I really enjoy the aqua fit during the week and the rec swims with my family. I am not fond of the aqua fit class on the weekend. I have never seen the instructor smile, or even show any enthusiasm. They truly look like they don't want to be there. It turned me away at first, but am happy that the aqua fit classes during the week are better.
I love the way they do things with Seniors especially Boomers and other activities they are the best in Petrolia and all the Staff are great!!
Love the staff and facilities.
I like how they make me feel good and limber.
Lot a variety for all age groups
Love YMCA staff is so giving cordial and kind
I have enjoyed Aqua Aerobics, Adult Swimming lessons, Water walking and Y Thrive. All the instructors have been helpful, encouraging and friendly. All in all a great and fun experience.
The morning Aquafit and therapy pool following are my morning routine, that allow me to deal with chronic pain from osteo and rhuemiod arthritis.
The Petrolia Y staff are excellent. They really care about your health and well being.
Very well designed and implemented. They make us all fell equal and worthy of their time and attention.
My second life is at this facility. I go to Aquafit 3-4 times a week, with friends. I have been doing Step Class on Tuesdays ,and went to the Living Healthy and Active class that was offered, and benefitted immensely. I have had a new hip and new knee, this combination is the contination of ongoing phsio!
Getting healthy working out and playing pickle ball.
Friendly staff
Only use the exercise equipment
Good child mining hours!
I do the aquafit regularly with my Mom and Aunt. It’s a great class except the pools have been way too cold. Even for myself as a healthy young female. My aunt has a heart issue and it being so cold causes her to have palpitations
I just find it really comfy, comforting and relaxing when you go to work out and doing yoga and swimming is so nice and you meet so many nice people and everyone that works there is really nice
I like the pickelball availability in the fall and winter and wish it could be extended until school ends.
I also like the variety of classes. Staff are always friendly and helpful.
Lots of variety to choose from. Especially like classes geared to seniors. A wellness program was very beneficial.
Convenient swimming Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, yoga classes, staff are very welcoming.
They are a great work out.
Lots of kids programs---i wish there were more after 530pm
I'd love it if more adult classes were after 530pm
Lots of exercise to get you out of the house
Everything. Staff kindness, knowledge and always willing to help.
Love the gym
I like the lane swimming opportunities in late morning or afternoon.
Easy to access, meeting new people.
Great variety for seniors…something for everyone…
The staff are great, the programs are good, I like the facilities, in Petrolia could be bigger, a few extra weights (12.5 weights), or another bench/rack. Could use a stair climber :) Other than that doing a great job.
I like that the staff always greets you with a positive attitude. even if they are having a bad day.
Wish that the Open swims were more frequent so that those who work could take advantage more.
The programs are a good cross section for the general public and the many interests of the community that it serves.

The staff is extremely knowledgeable and overall amazing
