Member Testimonials
So many activities. Friendly, helpful employees.
variety of things to do.
I have silver sneakers. I totally enjoy small pool.
As soon as you walk in, the person at the front desk greets you which making you feel welcome and want to stay. The addition of more cleaning people have made the place clean and once again make me feel welcome because it shows you care, show professionalism and commitment to members. During the winter, the lot is ALWAYS plowed leading to all the positive described above.
So, onto the gyn equipment - Glenwood YMCA had plenty of equipment (both free weight & machines), the new treadmills upstairs were a strong PLUS along with the stationary bike & the step master machines which allow members to get a wide variety of exercises in if the place is busy or NOT.
Lastly, a very big plus was the expansion of hours the Glenwood YMCA is open and never really closing for what was called "Summer Cleaning'". I fully understand the hours may have been adjusted far in the past but it needs to be brought up that it is a very BIG plus allowing people to exercise very early in the morning OR late into the evening which was not always the case.
I love going to the YMCA. Debra from Silver Sneakers is great. Like the exercise machines. I don't like the level of difficulty encountered with getting to the lap pool. (have to watch for a step down or up when getting there.) For me, getting in and especially getting out of the pool was quite difficult as well as embarrassing- finally got out and rolled. Thank you and hope to get there more frequently in the near future.
The classes from fitness to health. The friendships. The friendliness of the staff.
Awesome classes and very nice facility
All the silver sneakers classes
The warm pool for my mom and I to walk and do our physical therapy exercises.
The Y offers programs for people of all ages and abilities! It is a very friendly environment and members enjoy the social interaction. There is no place quite like the YMCA! Tony Keim
I always get a friendly greeting as I enter the building! I participate in the warm pool water aerobics classes and appreciate that the life guards are walking around and not just sitting in their chairs. I also like the gathering space where we can have coffee or tea and chat. (The coffee area could be monitored more frequently.)
Many local high school students are looking for a safe place to gather. I fondly remember going to Y-co with friends.
The East Side Y management addresses the needs of the members much better than the Glenwood Y. Based on experience the East Side Y employees take the time to listen to members concerns' and solve problems rather than ignoring the member.
I am impressed with the variety of activities available for all age groups. The lobby gives off a home like atmosphere when I walk through the front doors.
Although LECOM has reopened and is within my budget I see no reason to leave the Y. Over the past few years, I have made several friends and renewed old friendships at the East Side Y. The Y is not just a facility to me it is a place where I am comfortable to be me. I respect the Y staff in all the jobs they do and extra hats they wear. No wonder it has flourished for the past 172 years.
missy's classes...all 3 of them. she is the best! and has been for 20+ years
The classes that are offered
The variety of classes, always meeting new friends, the extra social activities.
yoga class
The family pool is the reason I come to the Y. The lifeguards are wonderful.
The reason I didn't give the Y a 10 is because the women's locker room is filthy. The edges of the floors have built up crud almost an inch wide in places
Lots of variety, different activities for all!
