Member Testimonials
cleanliness of locker rooms, friendly ymca staff
My child is having a great experience!
I LOVE the mindfulness meditation class with Sam. It's what gets me into the Y every week. Thanks to that, I've been motivated to also use the other equipment, start running, and just generally get my health in order. Please please please keep this class.
The staff are extremely friendly and professional, and I feel that my child is in a safe and enriching environment.
Dev! :) And all of the other great staff members who work afterschool at Grady Brown Elementary!
Friendly staff.
Clean facilities.
Plenty of diverse exercise equipment. The sauna and steamroom are a major treat after a workout. Staff are really nice. I've been a member off and on since moving here in 1982, and have really been impressed with the growth and improvements over the years.
(One question/suggestion regarding the dumbbells that were purchased within the last year or two - many of them are so heavy that I can only imagine Mr. Universe contestants would use them (e.g. - a 150 lb dumbbell?). Can some of the very heavy weights be exchanged for other, lighter ones that likely would see more use? I often have to wait in line for the weights in the 25 to 35 lb range that seem to be most popular.)
It is easily accessible and well equipped facility to exercise in various modes - yoga, weights, gym activities and exercise bikes and other equipment.
I love that I can trust the staff to care for our child and communicate with us when something goes wrong. I love that my son has made friends with the other students and looks up to the counselors.
My daughter loves all the activities they do. Mrs. Davis is so wonderful.
I love how caring and responsive the staff are! We have had very few issues but each one has been addressed promptly, compassionately and appropriately. I feel good about sending my child to the YMCA's afterschool program because I know he will get his physical and emotional needs met in a safe and caring environment.
Kids are outside doing physical activity! No screens!
I like the yoga classes. I like the atmosphere. I really don’t take advantage of all the offerings but hope to do more now that I’m retired.
I love the Y! It’s clean and I always feel safe. The staff are kind and helpful. The classes are super fun!!! But I also always have what I need to work out independently. Also the outdoor pool rocks.
Well organized!

Community
I work out 2-3 times per week, mostly using the equipment in the weight room after warming up on a stationary cycle or treadmill. Everyone is friendly, the gym is very clean, the equipment is well maintained.
It's a friendly place with helpful people.
Great teachers/helpers. My child loves the activities and getting to play with her friends.
Staff is friendly and helpful, classes are great, facility is clean and easy to use, kid zone is awesome and the staff there are great (though I wish there were more hours).
Pool and the staff are the high points
The new policy at Pathways Elementary of calling the posted phone number and having the teachers to send out the child is less safe than the previous policy. In theory, anyone could call and ask for a child to be sent out to the car, and the teachers would not see who was picking up the child.
The hours are convenient, the staff are friendly and truly care about the kids, and our daughter always enjoys the activities provided.
My grandson is at Orange Middle school & loves the afterschool program. Teachers are very nice & helpful with homework.
Yes very responsive. I am very pleased that my sons School HES was able to have our original staff as after school teachers in the program.
We love afterschool!
Our son liked the experience. He was happy to have time to play and socialize with his friends after school. He liked all of the staff this year.
We love the afterschool team!!!
My kids (a 3rd grader and Kindergartener) love the experience at after school and their Intersession camps. We love that they are able to engage in play with structure and safety in place and we absolutely love the staff. As two working parents, we are incredibly grateful to have this affordable option in our community!
Friendly staff! Nice and clean. Members are generally good, respectful participants.
