Member Testimonials
The trainers in the program are great people when it comes to working with seniors , never pushing anyone , inspiring you to work at your pace, and showing you that they care about you . Each senior is unique in their eyes , it is shown by how they work with you if needed, never letting you feel left out .
The people in the staff feel like family
I love Avondale I love the people the equipment is nice and it’s clean great place to workout and train.

Everything, staff
Your gym is clean and machines are good
Overall, I like the programs/activities scheduled for AOA.
You have a lot of activities for seniors and children. The only thing that's missing is a pool and our neighborhood kids need to learn swimming.
Thanks for the opportunity !!!
They are all inclusive to the whole community.
The staff is very friendly
I love the new equipment, all staff members are pleasant and helpful.
I enjoy the senior work out classes. I need to return soon.
How friendly the staff up front is
The mini programs they have for the Youth and Young adults as well as the programs they have for families as well as the programs they have for 40 and up
Chante and Coach Jones are THE ABSOLUTE BEST spin class instructors!! Everyone at Avondale Meadows is really friendly. I go to classes at 3 or 4 different branches, but Avondale Meadows is by far my favorite location ❤️

Senior exercise group, with Suzy.
Whatever staff and trainers. Clean and welcoming environment. Many classes offered.
Great instructor! Suzy keeps us moving!
People know who you are when you come through the door, it’s not a very big YMCA, but it has everything that you need and the staff is friendly. The programs are wonderful and it’s convenient to the neighborhood.
I have observed well rounded programming and opportunities for the members and the community.
The staff are friendly and go the extra mile. Also, I appreciate the
Chaplin on duty and the Health Center positioned there is a plus to the community.
Score is 10 with me.
The exercise room, the time of day that you can come and it’s not crowded
Timely, geared for all ages.

Very family oriented
I like some of the instructors, like Ms Sue that teaches on Tuesday's and Thursday mornings. I like Mr Gary, who trains and help to keep Avondale running. The programs there are good and someone is always there to help when needed.
I am disappointed with the fact that members were promised a Swimming Pool and Sauna by the gentleman that was over the director there when it first was open. I was told 2 years at the most. The shame is the citizen in the area really needs a pool for lessons and aerobics for seniors. The sad part is we really believed him and was excited about it. Like most times black neighborhoods don’t count.
