Member Testimonials
The people are understanding and I trust them to keep my child out of trouble, while I’m working, with activities or allowing her to read a book instead.
-side note- would like to see help with homework/ more time to work on homework, if needed. But I understand
The staff have been fantastic and welcoming and easy to work with.
He liked that he could help with timers, the staff, and swim time
My child had the opportunity for new experiences like archery and canoeing, as well as meeting new people.
I feel so fortunate to have the YMCA in my daughter's elementary school and for summer camp. At Brooks, Mr. Sidbury and the counselors are the highlight of my daughter's day. Thank you for everything that you do. It means so much to the children and to the parents.
My daughter has loved Day Camp at A.E. Finley YMCA. She can't stop talking about all of the friends she has made, games she has learned, and songs she has sung. I am very impressed with how much the counselors fit into her day and how much they care about the kids. I cannot recommend this camp enough!
My kid has come home happy both days of camp so far! He seems to stay very active and has had fun playing basketball and swimming. I am very happy sunblock application has seemed to be appropriate also!
Love blazing trails. Good counselors that come back. Fun traditions!
I love the variety of group fitness classes. All of the instructors are amazing. It's so fun and challenging to participate in group fitness.
My son always has a great time at A.E. Finley day camp. He also told me that he wants to be a YMCA camp counselor when he grows up. He likes his counselors over there very much.
I like the variety of classes and instructors. I'm also starting to learn to play pickleball, and I appreciate the fact that beginners are welcome at some of the time slots.
The new sign-up policy is a bit of a challenge. I find I am signing up for, and going to, less classes because I'm afraid I won't know I can't make it within the 2-hour window.
I love Finley Day camp. The counselors are kind & always have engaging activities for all children.
The location, the facilities, the staff, the activities, the bead system! Our kids love it and come home hungry and tired! They are ready to rest and do it all over again the next day!
Well run, child has fun
My son had a great time! We were impressed with the quickness of the pick up/drop off line, much improved from last year.
The staff are always so welcoming when you check in and the instructor’s make newcomers feel at ease during their first class. Everyone is just so helpful and supportive. The restrooms are always clean too.
I enjoy the classes, the instructors give a good workout, and the facility is always clean-- PLUS there is a true sense of community there that doesn't come naturally everywhere.
Well maintained fitness center with an adequate amount of equipment
The pools are my favorite part of the Y.
I have everything I’m looking in a gym place
Lots of choices for classes. Facilities are clean and updated. I great family vibe about it. I love being able to go to different yncas when I’m in a different part of town. However, it is getting a bit crowded
Friendly, helpful associates
Easy access, friendly staff and many options for exercise opportunities.
Good value for the membership price
Nice facility
Helpful and pleasant staff
I like the variety of classes, because I prefer the classes to the machines, although the amount of equipment/machines is also exceptional I think. I like the Dance/Zumba classes. I think the instructors are almost all fantastic for ALL classes.
I like that you are taking control of the sign ups so that the classes are not overfilled and that you are adding extra classes that are popular (like Sherri's Friday 1:00 class). She is awesome btw.
All the staff at check in are SO pleasant. I like the pool, although I don't generally use it much aside from maybe an outside aqua class.
I have been a member of other fitness centers, and I actually like the YMCA because there is so much offered and the cost is very reasonable.
Great instructors.
Love the yin and other yoga classes.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The facility & equipment is in excellent condition

I've loved the structure of the program. Expectations are very clear and I think that the kids thrive in having that structure to play and be creative in. I have been very pleased with our experience - this is our first YMCA day camp experience, and it will not be our last.
