I love Swim Team for my kids - the coaches are great!

Volleyball

Knowledgeable people that run the programs and activities. There to assist if needed.

I'm not in any program yet , but I like to go to the sauna, and walk around,

A lot of available services with various time slots.
It’s becomes like family with the consistency of all who come.

The instructors are patience and caring when they work with my grandson. The instructors celebrate with him when he accomplishes big and small steps in his swimming lessons progress. Their actions are helping him build his confidence both in and out of the water. My grandson went from barely wanting to put his face in the water to blow bubbles to diving for swim rings. Thank you, YMCA swim instructors.

Everybody is very friendly, very hands on, make my child feel very at ease

How one on one it is

My son started out telling Mr Lou that he was scared and didn’t want to put his head under water or even his eyes. By the end of the first class you could see the confidence. He’s now in his 10th lesson, and he’s mastering all of the things they’ve covered. Best part is he loves it and wants to jump in.

What I Loved Most Was The Water Aerobics

Friendly people, great equipment.

I have done this a number of times. My comments are the same as before .

Love the y

Weight/Cardio rooms. Y-Neptune swim, and other youth programs for my son.

I come here for the deep pool. I’m working on improving my swimming for triathlons this summer. I haven’t used any of the other programs or activities yet.

Besides finding that the Y has been a supportive family community for me, I extremely enjoy their water aerobics program at the central YMCA Youngstown branch! The music and exercise combination releases a tremendous amount of stress and gives me so much more energy throughout the day! The stretch class along with cardio and strength activity has rejuvenated my mind and body! Personal physical training sessions have also been a huge factor in my receiving more mobility, better balance, and stamina! Personal swim lessons helped give me more confidence in the water, not to mention that the instructors were very patient and very knowledgeable of my needs! I look forward to going as often as I can and thoroughly enjoy every minute!

Al’s water aerobics class is wonderful! He is dedicated to his students, always on time always positive attitude. More people oughta try it especially the 530 class.

The Y offers something for nearly everybody, regardless of age or interests.

Large and diverse exercise facilities. Men's Fitness Club is excellent.

It would be nice if you could bring back a Tai Chi group fitness class. I appreciate all the work that all the staff does to make downtown a good place to work out.

I like the different fitness classes.

I Iike the swim challenge.

I love the aquatics programs. I am a member of the Masters Swim Team. I have through a four year period of time reached a Gold Marathon standing. I am proud of myself. The Y’s programs build self esteem and confidence.

You have a wide range of programs to fit our busy schedules and the staff members are very helpful whenever we have a question

I like the location of the Central Y, and I enjoy the gym equipment.

The yoga classes

The spirit of the YMCA is particularly evident at Central Branch.

The Y offers many programs that offer diverse levels of intensity. The instructors are all overly knowledgeable and passionate.

Everything and everyone!!
