Member Testimonials
I get a lot for my money, great exercises, personal training, exercise equipment, swimming pool, opportunities to socialize, and a friendly, helpful staff
Staff, facilities (convenient) classes/availability. Class instructors are excellent. Also appreciate the community outreach and being able to be part of the efforts.
I love the classes and the instructors! I just wish that core and a few other classes were available in the evenings, since I work during the day. It's a great place to workout and I've been a member since 2018!
The Poole family YMCA is very clean, the staff is super friendly and the amenities are great!

How clean it is!
I love the Poole Y, but so really wish there was more open space at times. It gets crowded during peak times, which I know not much can be done. I also love the fitness classes. Amanda G. is wonderful.

The helpful staff.
For me, the Poole Family YMCA, is my safe place. I have been a member for almost a year and the staff is very supportive and welcoming. I’ve been working with one of their trainers and she has helped me so much with building my confidence mentally and physically. If I haven’t gotten to the gym in a while, when I get there, it’s a sign of relief. Ah, I’m now in my happy place. Thank you to everyone at the Poole Family YMCA for going above and beyond for your members. I’ll never forget, when I first joined, I was in the Start Strong class and I had to excuse myself, because I had a panic attack. On my way home, the staff called me to make sure I was okay. Thank you all and god bless. ❤️
