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.
It has been great I enjoy getting out exercisring and my daughter loves all thevprograms there
The YMCA Iis family friendly and provides many program options. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the facility offers a wide range of
workout equipment.
My personal trainer is amazing!
The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. My fitness class instructor was very enthusiastic and encouraged the whole class to reach their fitness goals for that session. I had a great experience.
I love coming to the YMCA it does my mind, body and soul well. I used to participate in classes and loved what is offered. However, I would like to see a different caliber of classes being offered. I would like to have the "Y" offer aerobic classes that utilize the aerobic bench steps. This addition would make me happy and whole!!
Can we add these types of classes?
The variety of activities that the Y offers oh-house and offsite. The opportunity to meet people and make friends.
All the activities included, friendly staff, the equipment
Everyone is friendly. Great place to workout.
Once you’re a member, there’s so many options for classes, equipment, etc. Everyone very friendly. Good sense of community
The staff is knowlegable and helpful, the facilities are clean and well equipped, the classes are challenging and have helped improve my overall health, and, most special, I enjoy interacting with the other members as we workout together.
The pool in the summer and exercise classes.
Excellent space for working out
Never been a part of the Y before. Just recently moved to the area and we're limited on the gym options but after joining I wouldn't choose anywhere else.
Staff is always super friendly. Place is always kept extremely clean. And there is plenty of options when it comes to things to do.
I'm very excited to have joined the Y and I'm having a great time working out and meeting other people. I would definitely recommend it to others.
Wow so many new classes! I got excited to see a Tai Chi class.

Lots of equipment, indoor track, pool, amenities.
