Member Testimonials
Convenience. For adults it’s very good options. Everyone in the family can go.
Wish you had more than one pickle ball court as it’s always in use every time I go. I wish you turned the back basketball court into permanent pickle ball courts. There are always open basketball courts when I go.
Wish there was activities other than the pool for age 3-7 year old child. The turf is great- but it is always full every time I go with big kids and adults (not saying it should be kids only). Even the family time on Tuesdays almost always has soccer with big kids and adults playing the entire field/space. My kids want to run around and play sports- not stay in child watch. Wish there were 2 turf spaces or smaller turf for little kids to just run around on as they are excluded from the track.
I am happy woth the facilities
Exercise classes, I like the instructors as I feel like they encourage good form and they give options for various levels of ability. The elliptical, bike, and the track.
The staff was very nice and inclusive of all the kids. They were extremely responsive one day when my child was late getting to the program. All ended up being fine, but they contacted me right away, which I appreciated. My child was always having a good time when I came to pick him up from the program.
I love the egym and the aqua classes. The staff are also very friendly and professional and are happy to assist you with anything you might need. There is so much to do at Hal Welch Area YMCA, and they are always adding extra things you can do if you would like. You will never get bored there for sure.
The people and the atmosphere. Monica is the best trainer!
This location is a great facility with a wide variety of offerings.

Many options
Everyone is friendly. Works are knowledgeable and considerate. The whole facility is very clean.
Our family appreciates the kind, patient, and thoughtful staff who meet the kids where they're at and create a fun, respectful, and inclusive environment. Thank you for all that you do!
Nice clean environment and I like the track
Classes are varied, instructors are great, staff is friendly, facility is amazingly clean!
Good Customer Service. The front desk representatives are always patient, helpful and friendly. The gym and bathrooms are kept clean. The pool and work out gym are my fortes. I enjoy the pool lap lanes. The gym work out area is easy to navigate. I like all the machines & weights. Machines are kept clean and maintained. My only gripe is some rules are not followed or enforced by personnel. Such as…people not wiping down machines after using, people leaving their coats, work out bags, yoga mats(rolled up), personal items in and around the gym; mostly on and around the tables/chairs near entrance of gym weight machine section
Coaches come up with fun games that teach skills & the kids aren't pressured to be super competitive.
THe pool
Very comvenient
It's extended hours, kind counselors, and fun activities.
The people. Mrs Bri is the best. She is so great with the social emotional stuff with my (rather sensitive) son. The team there really exudes warmth towards the kids and this puts them at ease.
The workers are so friendly and nice to the kids. I love that they always set out activities for the kids, even first thing in the morning at 7am. It makes a big difference for making the kids feel comfortable, and gives them something to look forward to instead of dreading it.
We have had a wonderful experience at the after school program held at Minoa Elementary.
The staff! They are absolutely wonderful. My son loves to attend the morning program. Keep doing what they are doing....they are very much appreciated!!
The staff at Cicero Elementary YMCA are absolutely amazing!
It’s convenient and a fun atmosphere
The staff is very friendly and they’ve built a great relationship with our son.
Encouraging for kids!
Well equipped, well staffed.
There is a wide variety of sports for kids to choose from. It would be nice if there was a way to include some baseball activities especially during the off season
The quality of staff and programming! My son has been participating since Pre-K. He gets mad when I pick him up too early from aftercare. Thank you for all that you do!

Love the quality programming and the fun, family atmosphere. Best Y around!
