Member Testimonials
Friendly employees
We have enjoyed the water aerobics class for nearly a year. In addition to the physical conditioning, we are getting to know others in the class. Our instructor, Becky, arranges monthly birthday lunches after our class. As new Columbia City residents, we appreciate the social time as well as the physical activity.
Clean friendly place. Staff is always friendly and nice. Hours are convenient and place is well maintained
people involved and good teaching
Each person. Is treated with great respect and individuality
The staff genuinely care about the safety and aquatic education of the students.
Wonderful & kind child watch workers!
The coaches were great. I love the prayer before playing, the emphasis on sportsmanship and
the deemphasis on winning. The new communication system was also a plus.
Meeting new people
Friendly staff and making new friends.
A lot of things to do and friendly staff!
We like that someone is able to watch my kids so we don’t have to worry about what they are getting into while we work out. Even though we have old enough kids (11, 10, 9) to be in the ymca by themselves, it is still a great peace of mind for us while we work out that they have activities to keep they engaged in their health as well.
The woman at the morning child watch are amazing!! We love them!
- Fantastic coaches and program lead
- Clear communication
- Proper priorities: fun and safety first, competition second, parents stay out of it
Staff is amazing and know my kids by name (and vice versa). Just crowded in there and a bit overwhelming and overstimulating for my kids when I drop them off if it is already full. Would be nice if they had a larger space or even access to a fenced in space outdoors like other YMCAs. But grateful for Michelle, Lucy, Annie, and Aiden.
The all around family friendly atmosphere. I have been a memeber almost all of my adult life. I brought my kids to childwatch at a young age so I could participate in fitness with other group memebers. There I found some life long friends. The Y has been a foundation for my family and still is today. My now young adult children feel safe there and have even found employment. The choice of fitness equipment, group fitness, open gym, and pool are a huge reason I would recommend the Y. The fitness area is kept clean and in running order.
I like that is family based and allows my kids to have fun things to do too!
It’s not overly crowded. Staff members are always smiling and friendly. The facility is clean and the equipment is user friendly.
I like the steam room and sauna. The workout machines and weights are good. The coffee is very good and a nice extra! Very friendly employees.
They care personally about the kids, down to knowing their name and preferences!
Times, facilities, friendliness
Safe place for our child to interact with other children for additional time before coming home to old people.
A plsant experience, kind and helpful staff, everything we expected and more
