What our members think of us!

The facility is well maintained, the staff are friendly and efficient and the members are like familt

There is not enough equipment in the classes. We are short on weights and bands and balls for classes. There should be enough for everyone. Also, the paper sign in sheets are never correct and the lines are long. We have apps, maybe we can use them to sign in to class instead of the problematic papers sheets.

Update equipment and facility

The membership fees are getting too expensive and then there are charges for programs. There should be more lap time in the recreation pool

Stratford YMCA employees very helpful in helping me regain strength after several serious medical issues!

Friendly faces and got all I need and more for a gym

The YMCA Staff keeps the place clean, the equipment up and running at all times, are pleasant and helpful when needed,

Great staff and very clean facilities...beautiful pool!

Provide more correct and timely communication to members, especially about class/program changes.

Train your staff to enforce gym etiquette for the large gym (no sitting / phone reading on the equipment, for example).

Organize sets of workout equipment, so that each of the training rooms has enough, such as free weights, resistance bands and tubes; instructors are wasting their time and talent hunting for the tools they need to do their job.

Replace the doors in the upstairs training room and corridor. The wood is broken, the gaps are huge, as are the drafts.

Try out innovations in class formats - the fitness industry is always growing and evolving.

Organize a tent outside when the weather is better (and make some money selling refreshments) - move the waiting people out of the corridor. Folks sitting and standing all over the place is, honestly, annoying. This is a fitness venue, not a cafeteria or phone/laptop office.

I've recommended the Y to quite a few people. Love the people, love the classes. They're only drawback is that they are all taking advantage of Silver Sneakers, which isn't available at the Y anymore. I really wish it was!

Front desk ladies cheerful and wanting to help

Update locker rooms and increase stretching/mat area or allow people to use fitness room when no classes are in there so we are not in the way of other members

The exercise rooms at the Y are desperately in need of a facelift. And so is the equipment. Free weights and mats are old and often there are not enough for the entire class. And registration
For classes should be online in advance of
Classes, not paper and pencil after class

Too soon to say
