Member Testimonials
Lap swim provides me with a relaxing island of time away from the crazy pace of life. . Water is also therapeutic to my 77 year old joints. I can't believe the improvement I feel after I swim.. When the world wearies, there's always the water.
The Silver Sneakers program with Curtis has helped me overcome my health issues. Curtis is so conscious of people overdoing and gives constant reminders to be aware of slowing down. We love that humorous guy and wish he did one more day of silver sneaker.
I have been coming 15 years and the Y makes a difference.

I’m old so love going to a friendly happy well lit place to swim , sauna , hot tub. I see all the great classes and intend to try your arthritis water class. The friendliness of the desk staff is excellent and non judgmental to all. The rest of the staff have done such a beautiful job of planning great things we want to come to and learn more about good health and kindness to all.

Great staff, the YMCA IS A GREAT asset to the Erie community.
I am a new member, so I haven't spent much time at the YMCA to offer feedback.
1) I enjoyed one morning senior class so far and found everyone helpful by setting me up with the equipment being used. The class was fun and challenging. I liked this incentive to rise early and to adjust my sleeping schedule.
2) I had a limited ROM from disuse of my left leg- too much sitting after retiring years ago. By using the plastic steps and risers, I've regained most of my step climbing ability. I also like using the dumbbells in that room and the mirrors to check my form.
3) I like the ARC Trainer and it provides a terrific workout while building endurance. I then generally use a few more arm and leg machines, stretch on the simple but effective Precor bench-like aid, and then walk on a treadmill to cool down or use the upstairs track.
4) I appreciate the hours that the gym is available, although an extra hour or two until closing on Sundays would be nice to have.
5) The Y appears to be clean, and I can see staff working during operating hours.
6) I am excited about having registered for pickleball lessons in early June. They will be conducted at the Eastside Y and I hope to be fit enough to learn and play well soon.
7) I like that classes have been developed to address mental and emotional fitness, too.
8) There is a good variety of physical fitness classes that I plan to try.
9) I think it's great that the Y has youth and other outreach programs. It's never too early or late to become holistically developed and meet new friends.
10) It's great that staff monitor the exercise areas to help with equipment and answer questions. It also makes me feel safe while there.
11) Most of the desk staff are friendly and helpful.
12) It's super that Erie has several YMCA locations. How lucky are we?
13) The website is updated to keep pace with offerings and changes.
14) The locker rooms and showers are nice.
15) I haven't tried the pools, hot tub, or sauna yet, but they're guarded well and very nice to have.
16) Discovering the chapel's openness was unexpectedly nice.
17) Last but not least, I really appreciate that the Erie YMCAs accept and welcome Silver Sneakers. I'll be contributing to the annual campaign.
18) Aren't you glad you asked?
A very friendly community, clean well kept machine and swimming pools.
Love the gym
Yoga classes, new weight and elliptical equipment, programs and speakers for seniors.
I feel like family when I come to the Ymca everybody at the front desk knows you and I feel comfortable working out there. I would highly recommend if you’re thinking of a place to go definitely go to Glenwood Ymca.
