Member Testimonials
Staff is great - even at 5:30 in the morning. Facility is showing it's age, But it works.
The variety of activities and the facilities. The atmosphere of friendship.
We moved here in 2019 from a rural town in California, newly retired and had never belonged to a gym. We joined the Y at Pearl Street in January 2020. The minute you step into the Y's doors you are warmly welcomed. The staff there is always helpful and accommodating. The atmosphere is cheerful and personal. It feels like family. We love our classes and have met many friends through the Y. We couldn't recommend it more!
Personable insructots
I'm a senior with some mobility issues and am widowed and live alone. I have been a member of the YMCA for probably four years and have found it to be a very healthy, inclusive experience. I primarily go to the aqua classes, and I appreciate that you are not locked in to any specific class as there are quite a few scheduled conveniently through the week. I have met a variety of people who have been supportive and enjoy visiting, laughter and fun. The staff are knowledgeable and supportive. I really wish I had known more about their mission years ago as it is definitely a service for the whole community.
I love to see the families with the young kids, enjoying the Y
The facilities and equipment are superb, and the staff is even better!!
The atmosphere is very welcoming, and everyone-members and employees are very friendly.
Dance fit
The Pearl Street YMCA is very welcoming. It offers a wide variety of classes at different times of the day.
I like the variety of classes for my kids. They can enjoy so many different classes that I never got to do when I was a kid. It is great to see their confidence growing and their excitement for their classes.
Commit dance, trx, indoor track
Friendly welcome at the front desk! Enthusiastic instructors for the Silver Sneakers Fitness and Circuit training classes and welcome when I attend the Tai Chi class. I love the friendliness of most members and look forward to attending as often as I can, usually Monday through Friday. I also appreciate the orderliness of the walking track. God bless you All. Thank you All.
The large water aerobics classes for seniors.
Enjoy the Silver Fit series at 10:30 am. It's popular enough that it might be worth a second time option in the afternoon or early evening.
I am 92 so I just enjoy my work out three days a week. And the people I get to visit with.
It is my go to gym where I can workout or swim and meet with my gym rat friends.

Congrats to Mike for his promotion to Associate Director! He says it's over a year old But it aint official till the pictures were hung.
Jared's been extra sassy since he got the new fade.
