Member Testimonials
Donna at the front desk at the Eastside Y is the very best ! The water fitness classes are wonderful. Rene & Devin work us hard but make it fun.
The times I come to workout, I like that it’s not too packed. I do wish there was another incline press machine in the basement gym, and a hack squat machine would be nice.
I usually go to silver sneakers. Get a good workout. They seem to have a lot going. Enrolled my nieces in swim classes. Grateful they can join on my membership for $10.
As an 80-year-old senior, I've had the pleasure of attending a Silver Sneakers class led by the dynamic Curtis Jones III. His approach to fitness is truly inspiring—he not only provides modifications for every exercise but also explains them clearly so everyone can participate comfortably. Despite his youth, Curtis has a remarkable ability to connect with us; he treats us with respect and never makes us feel like we’re "just old."
On special occasions, he adds a delightful twist to our classes by entertaining us with songs, creating a joyful atmosphere. His dedication, kindness, and genuine care shine through in every session. Curtis keeps things fresh by planning a variety of exercises, ensuring we get a full-body workout while still having fun. It’s his infectious energy and commitment that keeps me coming back to class. I can hardly believe it, but my four-year anniversary of attending his class will be on May 23, 2026!
Monica and all the employees at the Y make me feel part of their family. Franny Piazza.
everybody’s pleasant. The pool guards are very kind and very attentive and it’s a happy atmosphere and a very safe one.
The staff is friendly, welcoming, and they take into consideration if you have concerns. It’s my absolute favorite environment.
The employees and members are friendly and kind. The facility is clean and the safety of others in the building is on point. I am in congestive heart failure, and I was only able to do eight minutes at the limit of two and I got off and I sat down at the table. The employee showed his concern and sat and talk with me reinsuring that everything is OK that I should just take it one day at a time and that I will get at the point where I want to be. He was very kind very friendly very. He went out of his way making me comfortable laughing. Your employees are amazing.
I enjoy Senior Sneakers classes with Curtis. Great teacher and friendly/helpful to everyone.
I was attending the Pennbrair swim class because it was closer to home. Once they closed their pool I started attending the Y swim classes. There's a big difference. There are lifeguards which we never saw at Pennbriar. The classes are fun and not too hard. There seems to be a shortage on lockers but I did manage to find one in a good spot and I'm renting a locker now. The staff is very friendly everything is kept nice and clean no complaints👍
The facility is Clean and inviting with other members presences.
It's very welcoming. The classes are awesome and geared to the ages. The staff is friendly. I take my granddaughter while I'm in a class and they also are so friendly. Thank you all
Personal trainer Julie and the yoga instructors Pat and Kim are real Jen’s and really good teachers
Everything!
The open gym times, easy layout to get around with a walker and staff is friendly and courteous.
I enjoy the flexibility to either do a class or excercise on my own in the room on the main floor or walk the downstairs track.
However the air ventilation at the downstairs track needs attention. The air is stale and dry.
