Member Testimonials
Everyone was friendly & helpful. Terri made sure to keep an eye on me, as a newbie. I also liked that the class was small enough to see the teacher well. All was clean and well kept up, too
Great staff, awesome facilities with a lot of options, so much programming for all ages, great community!
Sandyjo, and Drew are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. OTHER customer service representatives don't seem to be knowledgeable about what's going on, but can't answer questions when asked and don't know where to send you for answers.please You need to have an informational system to inform all employees what is going on in your bldg.
Nice facilities, including pool and cycling room.
The variety of exercise options available. I wish the Spun Class bikes accommodated taller riders. I am 6'5" and I am unable to adequately extend my leg to get the full benefit to my upper legs.
Great instructors Patty and Wendy.

lots of different activities, convenient hoursw
Everything, the staff are amazing, the facility is old but it is kept up well
I enjoy the activities and espaecially the woman's pickleball on Mondays. Just going to sign up for other activities this season.
The 25 yard lap pool almost always has lanes available (as long as you are willing to share, which most serious swimmers are happy to do), and the hot tub, dry sauna, and steam room mean that I leave feeling warm and relaxed after a workout.
I have attended dance classes and water fitness classes for over 10 years. The instructors Kellie Ellis and SandyJo Jordan are the best! The front desk staff is always pleasant and eager to help. I have made many friends at the Y!
Beautiful facility, friendly staff. Patty does a great job with pilates classes.
Love to watch the little kiddos across the hall from the gym!
The Hal Welshman East Area YMCA is our top spot for our family. My husband and I go there almost every day. The work out room has all the equipment we need and as we get stronger additional weights, machines and equipment is right there for us. We also are very involved as members of the Active Older Adults group. There are art classes which vary for your ability and a new monthly cooking class that is teaching us new recipes while meeting new people and having a great time. My husband is advancing with weekly drumming lessons and learning to work with clay, water color and drawing lessons. The instructors are all very knowledgeable as well as patient and kind. This Hal Welsh YMCA is an integral part of our lives and our goal to remain healthy and strong. Our grandchildren enjoy swimming and loved their time in pre school sessions. It meets the needs of our entire multi generational family.
I like the pools. I also like the art lessons
Variety of classes and times
The fabulous active older adult activities and exercise classes, as well as trx classes, strength in women and the wonderful art teachers.

Excellent facility
Keeps me healthy
I love the therapy pool, the new E-gym and the whirl pool. I hope the East Area will consider expanding the pool area to include a water walk similar to the one in B-ville and a second therapy pool. East Area should start a dedicated fund for lifeguards to raise their pay and offer scholarships to attract more potential life guards.
I love the functionality of the facility. The constant improvements, the staff and the classes!
Community. In the group exercise classes and in the art classroom.
