The Thrive program for seniors is great. Provides social connection and classes designed for seniors.
Family atmosphere. Variety of classes
Great facility; friendly staff.
My special needs son and I have so much fun at Poole YMCA! We love Miss Rae and the adaptive exercise program and of course the drum exercise class. The pool is also wonderful and the people who work there are so sweet.
Great classes bc great teachers. Facility is always spotless.
The staff is great but the thing I like the most is getting to interact with people in my own age group. Helps to make me feel younger.
Variety of classes, 55 minutes classes available and the early classes available on Saturdays.

Building is always clean, friendly and courteous staff, and equipment always working.
The place, the participants, the people on staff!!!
The instructors
Friendly staff, great instructors, location close to my home
The staff is excellent, from the class instructors, the trainers as well as the front desk personnel. These people make the experience excellent.
The director, Noah Franklin, is phenomenal. He communicates well to families, including introduction emails, reminder emails, and signage at games and practices. At events, he is very kind to the children and makes sure everyone is included in play. He treats his staff fairly and makes sure they are doing their jobs.

We enjoy the our membership at the Y! The staff is GREAT, the facility and equipment are kept up well, and my husband appreciates the classes!
The staff is friendly and makes it a point to get to know you.
It is a pretty clean facility. The new equipment is great. They always have something fun going on for all age groups.
My son absolutely loves the kid zone. The equipment is always on working condition.
The staff are always welcoming! I like the new equipment and the investment it represents!
Friendly staff, variety of fitness offerings
The classes the pool
The atmosphere is like family and very family friendly.
My son's excitement from his experience. I love the structure of the program, the daily incentives, and the different crafts, and after school engagement that the program offers. I think the cost per week is affordable. And it created a successful alternative for parents that need reliable and convenient after school care.

I love the Poole Family YMCA! I make it part of my daily weekday routine.
Childcare, pool and the best exercise classes and instructors!
I really enjoy the Thrive group.It would be great if people did not sit on the exercise equipment & just look at their phones when others are waiting to use the machine.
I love the clean bright and airy atmosphere. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating! I love the convenience of booking classes, the ease of using the app. It has been an altogether pleasant and beneficial experience. I look forward to my time there and the fact that I can tailor my fitness regime.
The Poole YMCA is one of the best clubs for excellent classes and excellent equipment. We love it and will continue going .
Friendly, competent staff and managers, cheerful instructors, and trainers. Terrific equipment variation and quality. Great selection of well-instructed courses and gym activities (pickleball, basketball, badminton, cardio drumming, etc.) They make the most of the space they have. Clean, unlike the facilities and gyms of the Y's when I was a kid. It's my go-to spot for a great workout and a cheerful day. I don't know what I'd do without it.
I just joined and appreciate the help I received and the friendliness
