Member Testimonials
Great facility and equipment. Friendly and helpful staff.
The programs they offer, the classes and the staff are the reasons I recommend the Poole YMCA.
Absolutely, love my personal trainer.
I enjoy the group fitness classes. I have been participating regularly in yoga flow classes and strength training classes for several years and have also enjoyed cycling and core strength classes. The classes help motivate me to actually show up and do the work! Plus I enjoy being with a group of familiar people, a few of whom I have actually spoken with!
Friendly staff, great instructors
Great instructors and great space!
I love the Y and my Y family; however, class names are always changing, and worse, times/instructors are apt to change at any given time. Classes I love like Werq and Cardio Dance are barely on the schedule.
Wonderful instructors! I take Barre and kickboxing and Jenn and Suzanne are both fabulous. Other classes I've attended along the way have also been really positive experiences.
Great yoga classes, pool and accommodations are up to date. Clean facility and very pleasant staff.
Everyone you ask questions to knows what is happening that day and when and where it occurs. Always have a Very nice attitude.
I like the community and the staff. My only wish is that there were more cycle class options on Tu/Th (evenings). I am having to go to another YMCA for those options.

I enjoy the classes offered at the Y-most ESPECIALLY the WERQ classes which I wish were offered more often. I also enjoy the cardio classes and walking the track.
The friendliness of the Y staff is great and I have met many pleasant members.
The over-55 group has also introduced me to interesting experiences. I moved here from Scottsdale , AZ, knowing only my daughter and grandson so I feel that the Poole Y is a "home away from home" as I am there frequently
The entire staff, atmosphere, equipment and classes are absolutely amazing! I really have enjoyed the Zumba class taught by Sandra on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I just started attending her class about a month ago. She is a great instructor that makes the class super fun and it is easy to follow. I am finally noticing some weight loss and my body is becoming more toned everywhere. I am especially happy that my arms are finally showing signs of being slim and toned. No other class, even weight classes have given me these results, and in such a short amount of time! The dance moves and the use of weights incorporated with Sandra's style is the reason for this. She is the best!
Fun place to go and work out. Lots of machines and always available. Like being on the inside where it's comfortable. Very enjoyable while getting healthy.
The and the members are very friendly. The place is always clean. is a huge variety of classes and the instructors are amazing!
The people that I meet and the friendship that I have made
