Friendly staff and good facility st reasonable price
The hot yoga studio is amazing. Yoga instructor Scott M is my favorite part of the Poole experience.
I like the relaxed astmosphere and adequate equipment during the time I'm there.
The classes and content
The Poole Y is a large, clean gym. It had updated equipment. Friendly helpful staff. Definitely recommend
Everybody has been extraordinarily friendly from reception to trainers to members. I've enjoyed my fitness classes, too. No hassle if I'm screwing up my routines. (Limber, I'm not.) Love all the Cybek machines. The only downside when recommending Poole to friends is the lack of an indoor pool. However, we apparently have access to other YMCA facilities with one.
Friendly staff and the cleanliness of the facility.
Nice variety in classes with knowledgeable instructors.
Would like for the Zumba toning to go back to twice a week
Thank you
Clean and a great place to work out.
Everyone is so helpful and nice! The equipment is all first class and available to use.
Great facilities. Wonderful staff.
Zumba toning with Jillian! (Wish she taught another one or a least a rotating one like is offered on Fridays). Yoga is great. Love the sauna. My Middle school aged (homeschooled) kids love meeting up with their friends to play basketball during the day. We love the pool as well!
It is a clean well keep place to exercise as well as meet others in our community. The staff are professional and friendly, calling you by name as we enter the center.
Great equipment, very clean and great, friendly staff!!!!
Enjoy the classes and instructors.
Would like to be able to go to a class and not have to sign up.
The increase in membership was a bit steep!
How did the ymca calculate that being it was different for each person??
Clean facility, friendly people. We’ve really only been twice since signing up, but will be coming more frequently.
Really like the sense of community and senior programs. Community is important for everyone, especially for older adults. Hope to see Thrive continue to expand.

The variety of options - weights, machines, and classes
