Staff and classes are great
The Thrive community and classes are great! I still need an arm cycle which is apparently not on the priority list. Surely we could trade one treadmill or bike for an arm bike!
I like the variety of machines!
I thoroughly enjoy the Y - great classes, great instructors, and a welcoming atmosphere!
Love it so far. The coaches are awesome!
Friendly personal service, great classes, good equipment.
Plenty of excellent exercise equipment. Great staff.
Equipment and location to my house.
I like the activities that they plan around a theme for the children. I wish the program had options to pick, 2,3,4, or 5 days for the afternoon.
The people and the equipment
We be done soccer and basketball sports programs through the Poole Family YMCA. We are return participants for all of our children. As a former YMCA employee, I know all the behind the scenes that goes into programming. All of Noah’s work is appreciated and has made the sports great! The weekly communications and signs at practice are vey helpful. He also is great with the kids. He knows their names and gives out high fives.
The volunteers do a great job setting up. I am thankful there are parents who step up and coach. Our family schedule and younger siblings make it hard for us to volunteer but really appreciate others stepping up. The costs cannot be beat either. The quality of instruction, jerseys, and facility is such a good deal for the cost.
The excercises are awesome
Clean, friendly, and inviting
I love the Thrive program and would like to see more Thrive exercise classes at the Poole location. Please add more sections of the TTh Strength & Balance class on MWF or even on the weekend. Having most of them on TTh means less opportunity to participate. I'd love to attend the Wed Gentle Aerobics and Chair Yoga, but like many members, I need a day to recover in-between TTh. The drum class is fun but is back-to-back with the Strength &Balance class. Cramming it all together is too much. Seniors NEED these classes.
