Member Testimonials
I like the variety of activities offered consistently throughout the day. This meets the needs of busy schedules and various interests.
Activities are fun for the kids, my daughter lives her swimming lessons, and she likes her teachers, she mentioned that the teachers really care about them.
great staff.
I have joined for the year as I know I will find much to be if it from . The building is kept spotless plus all the staff I have encountered are knowledgeable and very friendly. There seems to be great attention to what the people need that are attending.
I have recently moved here and just joined the Y ( I was a member of Oakville Y when I lived there plus joined the Burlington Y when I moved there now I am trying the different classes and programs here in Petrolia. It is walking close and I will use the lane swim at the pool a lot (excellent safe exercise for older Seniors) Yoga is my personal favourite ( I do a personal time each morning) so I am trying the classes but disappointed to see such short classes. A full yoga class requires 90 minutes. One of those each week would be nice. Also will try all the Aquafit to find one that features using the deep water more.
There is a variety of programs to utilize, and it is quite reasonably priced. Wish the pool was bigger
I like the wellness centre
The YMCA in Petrolia is awesome because their programs really feel like they’re made for everyone in the community. They’ve got something for parent and tot, kids, adults, youth, and seniors, and the best part is that everything is designed with each age group in mind.
What I really like is the flexibility in their schedule. There’s always something different going on every day, and you can choose a time that fits your day perfectly. Whether you’re busy with work or managing a family, it’s super easy to find a class or activity that works for you.
Adult swimming
It has everything I could need in a gym with friendly helpful staff, but it's very expensive that's why it doesn't get a 10. It's disappointing I have to pay for everything that I'm not planning on using to have pool access.
My kids love the summer camp at petrolia YMCA. We feel like it's a safe and fun place to send our kids.
Y staff are friendly and energetic. They provide enthusiastic leadership in group classes.
Staff
So welcome! Everything you need and very clean
Having never used gym equipment before, I find it very encouraging to see ever age, size and ability , doing their workouts. I’ve just finished physiotherapy and the staff have been very helpful in helping me adapt my exercise program to their equipment.
the aqua fit classes are fun with a good mix of different exercises. I particularly like the upbeat ones with lots of cardio. Its nice that some of the girls can go from the pool to other classes.
Great swimming pool which is rarely crowded. Good gym equipment. Really enjoy Spencer's aquafit and aquawalk classes and Brie's aqua dance.
I enjoy the staff that are presenting them. I also really enjoy the pool and the aquifit. And I'm looking forward to September 1 things start back up.
There is something for everyone. Your staff are the best,
I like how it is small and how friendly the staff are. It is a very comfortable atmosphere
I like the light and lively classes, especially the one with the spin included.
I love the workout room! I hope you get more machines ...ab machine would be great. I was in Strathroy's Y and they had one. Also, an ellipical that is easier on the knees.
My daughter is happy and wants to stay longer to play. As long as she is happy we are all happy.
I enjoy the 6:15am classes to start my day. The instructors and fitness classes are great.
The aquafit classes have helped with my pain and mobility so much. I enjoy the class and the instructors are excellent to keep you moving and motivated. It is a great way to start your day, exercise and a bit of socializing.
Recently upgraded gym equipment was a great addition.
The lesson are not over filled and close by
my kids love going to swimming lessons and when I was in aquatics, I really enjoyed my class too. One complaint, though, as you guys took away the buns and guns class that was my favouRight, and now there are no classes running that are close to that as far as I know and at a decent time.
I just use their work out equipment
The Petrolia Y offers programs for all ages and abilities. And the staff are fantastic!
I loved the aquatic light program. The instructor was excellent and made it fun. I am having troubles with hip arthritis and I am waiting for an assessment for hip replacement but in the meantime I need to strengthen my muscles and increase my mobility. This is the perfect program for me. I could really feel it after the first class but can't wait for tomorrow's class to go at it again. Thanks for this great program. S. Last name removed
