I love the staff! I go to the Y in Petrolia and everyone is very friendly. I like aquafitness the most but would like more lane swim times because I’d like to do more of that

I am very committed to all aspects of the YMCA. Hopefully others will find the enjoyment my friends and I are experiencing.

Exercise boomers friendly atmosphere
It seemed like a very busy place with lots of different activities and lots of different groups using the facilities.
Friendly staff and so very accommodating
Love the YMCA. Always clean and welcoming. Would love a stair master in the gym.
Love the programs geared toward seniors, but good for lots of others I.e. Light and Lively, step, Aquafit and especially aquawalk. I really appreciate the timetabling of a class followed 15 min later by a water class. The team in Petrolia have really listened to what would work for us and it is appreciated.
And the staff who run these particular classes in which I participate are wonderful. They take note, ask for feedback, provide multiple accommodations for those within the class and our upbeat and energetic. A great team.
We are enjoying the senior fitness every Tuesday for 12 weeks. It is focused on older people so paced for us. The leaders are excellent and adjust for all needs.
We have just rejoined the Y so are catching up with the machines and what is in our realm of activity.
The facilities are clean! There is adequate equipment available. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The instructors offer god variety and are knowledgeable.
Appreciate when instructor for aquatics stays out of pool to demonstrate. It is a large class and I can’t hear instruction so being able to see what she is doing is helpful. I also wear hearing aids but can’t in the pool obviously. It really supports those of us with hearing disabilities.
all of the senior activities
Clean safe environment
All of the staff are very friendly and encouraging. It’s always fun and makes exercising enjoyable.

The YMCA in Petrolia is a nice facility and I attend the aquafit with my mom quite often. The only issue is the pool is kept at 81 degrees which is cold. Especially for her with her heart condition
