Member Testimonials
As a member of the A. E. Finley YMCA for over 7 years, I've meet and become friends with some very interesting and wonderful people. I love the classes provided for seniors and the many adaptable classes. The new app has a number of bugs but hopefully those issues will be resolved. Good experience
I felt welcomed and enthusiastically accepted from moment one. Joining online was easy enough, and the ID photo only took a moment. Judy, I believe her name was, was very kind to lead me around and show me the facility. I'd been somewhat hesitant to join, but within minutes of walking inside, I knew I'd made the right choice. I hope to be a member for a long time.
Friendly people-lots of choices!
The Y instructors. The Y staff. The facility is not up to standards with other places or even other Ys but I understand it is an older building with issues (especially when it comes to the HVAC system). I go to the Y because of the people ( the members and the staff) so having to deal with the issues of an aging facility is tolerable. I am overjoyed that they have made upgrades to the outdoor pool and that year-round swimming may be available for members. I am sad that all the trees around the pool deck have been cut down. There are no leaves in the pool, but more available shade would be nice.
Our son has attended Camp G.R.A.C.E. for about 8 years now. We LOVE this camp and we are so thankful that he has this option. Due to his autism, his summer options are very limited. The staff at this camp are well trained, supportive, and kind. THANK YOU!

The classes of my interest and staff/ instructors.
I have been a member of the YMCA on and off since I was a child growing up in Gastonia, N.C. I have met lifelong friends at the YMCA and I have made friends due to the community outreach and wonderful staff and people.
The friends I have made there.
The camp is great!
