Community first & foremost— it fills my energy tank to return to the Finley community.
The indoor pool is well staffed and maintained and is currently my main focus due to family medical issues that prevent signing up for classes ahead of time.
I do wish that there were a better way to manage class signups, like confirming attendance one to two hours before class so that wait list members could realistically get into the class. It does no good to be moved off the wait list at class start time, as has happened to me many times.
I really like the outdoor water aerobics classes..we have really good instructors and I feel a sense of accomplishment by the end of class..I have tried on several occasions to attend the indoor water aerobics classes but the noise level and overwhelming smell of the chemicals and lack of ventilation prevent me from attending..
Variety of classes and the majority of the instructors are kind, personable and want you to enjoy the workout.
Friendly and courteous staff. I appreciate the cleanliness of the facility.
Sense of community and genuine people
The ladies at the front desk are so nice, friendly and welcoming. They are also very helpful anytime I’ve needed anything
Great classes. Nice facility!
Excellent facilities. Outstanding staff.
I enjoyed my yoga class and my instructor. My boy suggestion would be to limit the class to a smaller size that’s appropriate to the size of the class room. The room is definitely too small for the number of participants there were in my Saturday vinyasa flow class
I’ve had a great experience at A.E. Finley YMCA. The facility is beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. The staff is amazing, not only are they welcoming, but they also take the time to show you around and explain everything, which makes you feel comfortable from day one.
The group fitness instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely make the classes enjoyable. One of my favorite things about this YMCA is the variety and quality of the group fitness classes. There’s always something to choose from, and the instructors keep the workouts fun and motivating.
The women’s locker room is clean and spacious, with plenty of showers, comfortable seating, and a steam room, which is a wonderful bonus after a workout. And I have to mention the free coffee, it’s a nice little perk!
The only thing I wish is that I lived closer so I could take advantage of everything this facility has to offer even more often.
great instructors, great classes and sense of community and friendship
A.E.Finley is the best ever YMCA in the country because of the people - the staff, and the members. The staff is exceptional in their love and kindness to the members, and the members are equally loving and kind. I am loving my membership, and wish I had joined 30 years ago!!!
I love the group fitness classes and the community among the members. I have met so many wonderful people from the classes. My only concern is I wish there were more time in between classes to stretch, clean up equipment and gather my belongings without feeling rushed as the next class is already coming in. My suggestion would be to have a bigger gap in between time slots so transitions can be smooth. For example, class starts at 5:45-6:45 the next class starts at 7:00 or something like that.
We took a chair yoga class and it was a good way to get introduced to the Y.

I truly enjoy being part of the Finley Y because it offers so much more than a place to exercise. The people are welcoming and supportive creating a positive community. I like the many opportunities to connect with others through fitness classes, workouts, and volunteer activities. The Y is a place where I can stay active, build friendships, and give back to my community, and I value the positive impact it has on my overall well-being.
