Very friendly. Equipment is first rate. Safe.
I enjoy the indoor walking track and the pool is a nice bonus.
My teenager son really enjoy the friendly environment at the ymca at Poole.
Everything! The staff are friendly... Kim remembered my name even after a couple of months of my absence. I love the pool.. I do wish it was year round. The facility is clean. The staff are helpful... Beth heard me say that I go to another gym some because they have a certain piece of equipment that my physical therapist suggested and Beth took me to one that gave similar results and made sure I could do it.
Bottom line is that I am impressed!
Awesome service!
Maintained and clean
I love the classes!
Great staff, friendly & helpful. Facilities are what I expect & available when needed.
The staff is super friendly and welcoming! Every time my daughter and I walk in, we are both greeted by name. The daycare staff is AMAZING and my daughter loves going!
The instructors are great. I love the classes and options for classes. I like that equipment such as spin and treadmills are replaced every so many years because equipment breaks down
Kind staff, exceptional facility, and a wonderful all around place for everyone!

Really like that you have senior oriented classes and outings. Would encourage you to spread these out beyond just T TH. With outings and get togethers, please try to avoid scheduling these when our Thrive classes meet at the same time. Spreading out the classes would be helpful as well to lessen the time between our group exercises. For example, Mon and Thu for the Stretch, Balance, and Flexibility classes. Hear that you might be considering a Sat Thrive Zumba class which sounds great. Just have the instructor teach incrementally rather than learning all steps at once like Jaime did in the Wed dance class. Was next to impossible to follow her directions. Laura or Becky would be great for any Thrive class.
The atmosphere at Poole is very welcoming no matter your fitness level. When I originally joined it was for the yoga classes now I take at least 1 of the many different group fitness classes everyday! The instructors are amazing! No one is ever made to feel less than or that they shouldn’t be there!
My kids love it bc they can do so many things at once. And on top of that we go to all the YMCA . And try different things. Bc they all not the same .
The facility was newer and seemed brighter! If it were closer I would use it more.
Friendly atmosphere!
The staff is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and very helpful. The facility is beautiful and has a variety of equipment to use. Of course the pool is great during the summer months.
The daycare option gets us to the gym because it motivates us to get to the gym when we have the kids. It helps us with our mental AND physical health. It’s also nice to be able to get a chance to do things like shower and use the bathroom or get some work done if we need to.
The community, the environment, the staff and the exercise are everything you would like in a gym and community center. I really enjoy that. There are people of all ages and fitness levels that come to the same place.
Friendly staff, clean facilities!
The YMCA makes it very quick and easy to pick up and drop off children. It is easy to select and purchase the days of care needed.
I like Molly K’s yoga classes.
I like body pump classes.
I love the pickle ball pick up slots in the evenings
I wish there were more yoga offerings at the Poole Y around the 5:30 to 6:30 hour.
I like Rea's Bodypump class and Rose's Yoga class.
I especially like the childcare. My kids really enjoy coming and I feel very comfortable that they are in a safe place.

Clean, and nice equipment. Good environment to work on fitness
