Member Testimonials
Welcoming and friendly environment! Something to appeal to everyone.
I joined the Y in February 2024 and it changed my life. The LiveStrong program (for cancer survivors) was my initial class. I felt accepted, understood, hopeful for the first time since my cancer journey. Staff, volunteers, members are all very gracious, loving & helpful. I’m a HUGE fan of the Poole Y.
The instructors are excellent . Love the classes and interactions with all staff. Everyone is great. Wished they would have line dancing for evening classes. Most people work during the day and there’s only one class on Wednesday during the day. That class was fun on New Year’s Day. Thanks for all you do.
The YMCA After school program is fantastic. They plan and organize great activities to keep the kids engaged and get them outdoors and active as much as possible. The crafts that they plan are also great. My daughter gets mad at us when we pick her up early and she does not have enough time at after school care.
The staff was "super friendly & courteous"
Very nice facility and super nice people on the pickleball court!
Classes and cleanliness
Clean, no wait for equipment, friendly and helpful staff
As a regular, it's nice that to know all the staff and they know you as you walk in.
Members are respectful of others. There is no feeling of "hurry-up, get off so I can do that machine!" here.
The classes are not "Impossible" to get in unlike the Kraft Y. On the other hand, there are about half as many classes offered
Great facilities and friendly staff.

Gym and pool
I am very pleased with the level of care and physical activities my son is receiving. I especially enjoy that he loves making crafts and participating in different activities after school before heading home to start his nighttime routine. This program also provides him with a valuable opportunity to socialize with his friends, which is especially important since he’s an only child.
Would love to have more Zumba or dance classes!
Great place! Friendly staff and very clean establishment!
My child enjoys the program and I am very appreciative that it is offered at his school.
The locker rooms are kept very clean. I would like to see more updated equipment. It was nice to have the pre-moist towels instead of having to clean the machines with a bottle and the spray.
Convenient - it's at the school.
The staff is incredible, Poole Family YMCA creates a safe environment to take care of the kids after school.
