Member Testimonials
Great selection of machines and weights, clean, and the staff are very friendly.
I love how active my daughter is at camp and how the camp promotes healthy habits for the kids. She is very complementary of the counselors and how nice they are. She has attended other camps and had a few negatives about their maturity level. This is our second year attending and will likely be back next year.
Kids loved it. Counselors were very kind.
I really enjoy the classes and the instructors are great as well. I enjoy being able to shower after a good workout and having access to the sauna. The facility was great is in a great location too.
I’m new here but I have felt welcome from day 1
I am loving having outdoor water classes every weekday morning
Very welcoming. Has the fitness equipment and classes I need. Overall, a great facility, although an indoor pool would be nice. (The outdoor pools are great.) I hope to make considerable use of the Y. The guest pass ($20) for my wife was a bit pricey for a few hours in the pool with our visiting granddaughter, 8 ($10), but she'll be joining in January when she has the same Medicare Advantage plan as I do.
Variety of classes and well educated instructors.
I like the structure. Your counselors are well trained and I feel secure with my children attending..I always post great things on social media about the Poole Y camps :)
My daughter enjoyed the camp
The people and classes.
I like that they go swimming, do crafts, dance and they keep the kids busy and moving all day.
Love our awesome counselors! Honestly everything about it.
Kids love it. The kids are also familiar with the Y and the family atmosphere.
The tour sealed the deal. It was nice to be able to see the campus and hear about what all they offer and the outreach they provide. It was easy to sign up online and then obtain cards in person.
Love the classes and instructors. Front desk staff always friendly and helpful. Just a nice environment!
Great group of folks to meet and play pickle ball.
The staff are truly unparalleled. They are so kind, friendly and genuinely happy to get to know you over time. We’ve been members for just over a year now and it really does feel like home! The front desk staff are amazing. We especially love Melissa and Kim. Robin is an amazing instructor. The staff in the kids care are absolutely above and beyond incredible. We know that our kids are loved and paid attention to while they’re there and that makes it so much easier to get in a good workout. We really like Audra, Ayesha, Kelci, Chrissy, Veronica, Michelle, Beverly, Mary Anna, and Mariah. So grateful for such a wonderful community place to be!

Very nice place to exercise and workout. Excellent staff, wonderful members.
The counselors are well-trained. They love the children and stop problems before they begin. The counselors are approachable and tell parents about issues that arise and suggest resolutions.
All three of my kids are having so much fun. My middle school age boys are coming home saying they love it. They love the counselors. They love the games they play. My rising kindergartener is loving her first experience there and wants to keep going.
