Large variety of classes
The facilities are great and the staff is exceptional
The fitness classes offered at the A.E. Finley YMCA are excellent and what truly sets this branch apart from other locations are the incredible instructors and friendly staff. The Finley Y is more than just a gym, it is an opportunity to meet wonderful people and feel like part of the community. I’ve enjoyed being a member for 25 years and greatly appreciate everything Finley has to offer!
Excellent staff, especially the lifeguards. I was also impressed with the camp counselors this year as I occasionally happened to observe them at the pool this summer.
Thanks for ensuring that there are plenty of lap lanes for the many "over 55" swimmers who frequent the outdoor pool. There is a lovely community of people who use the lap lanes and chat before or after swimming. The Y provides the "space" to do that.
The YMCA is a critical resource for the community.
Love the Thrive experience!
I love the thrive classes.
I enjoy the classes.
Brooke and Lora were very efficient, kind and did exactly what they said they were going to do! They are the best and one of the reasons I keep my membership at the Y!
I’m a big fan of the outdoor pool and the aqua classes during the summer. I’m glad the heater is put in to help extend the classes a bit past the pools typical closing date.
I think the challenging part of classes is having to sign up in advance, but I certainly understand it. It is not as difficult and larger classes, but in smaller classes with limited equipment and space, it is sometimes hard to get into the classes.
But I do love going to the Y and I think they make an effort to be welcoming, inclusive, and responsive to members.
It is also nice to have the Y be a part of my fit and active program through Medicare. We paid in for family membership for years and years and it’s nice as retirees not to have to do that anymore.

The people. It’s very friendly staff and members.
As a parent, I like that the kids are outside all day. My child wishes he could be inside a little though.
My one recommendation would be to have scheduled bathroom breaks for the kids, especially the littlest ones. My youngest is scared to talk to new people, and consequently he does not ask the counselors to take him to the bathroom. They could be more proactive about this.
I did reached out and asked the camp for help, and they were wonderful. They immediately responded to my message and relayed it to his counselors. They asked him throughout the day of he needed to potty, so he could just shake his head yes or no. They fixed the problem right away, but I am a little surprised bathroom breaks are not structured in somehow.
The lady who signed us up at the front desk, Jenny, was very helpful and professional. We appreciated her taking the time to answer our questions and give us a short tour of the childcare facility, even though it was clear that she was really busy. We felt welcomed and valued by her and it gave us a great impression of this YMCA location.
I have so far taken two classes and enjoyed them. I am also hoping to get outside my comfort zone with different classes, and am looking forward to it.
Friendly, helpful staff
