Member Testimonials
In the past I've worked out for years with personal trainers and was not sure what to expect at the Y. I was surprised at the Y I've gotten better training than the personal trainers I've worked with in the past. I highly recommend the YMCA.
The group classes
good workout classes.
Excellent facilities, friendly staff, trustworthy childcare. Parents' nights out are great. Also, very good value for the money.
I love the line dancing class and the senior strength and conditioning class. Both instructors are excellent! Also I enjoy the water class taught by Cheryl who is also a good instructor.
Hello, We have not participated in any camps other than swimming, but are signed up for upcoming camps. There are a wonderful selection of camps to interest our girls. They have participated in swim lessons and have enjoyed the first one. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Many thanks!

Helped to lead haeathy life style
I love the child care. When I work out I like to not worry about my kids.
Everyone is friendly, kind, happy, and genuine in the kid care. I love it.
This place is a complete package anybody can expect. They have a typical gym with cardio machines. The group exercises are excellent for the people like me, where I get bored to do repetitive tasks alone.
I got the best advise of my life from Steve(the coach), that opened my mind and gave a new idea about exercise. The coach said, "concentrate on the heart rate rather than calories, concentrate on waist line rather than weight loss" This made me to explore all the cardio machines there. Earlier I used to try only treadmill, because that was the one where I could spend maximum calories.
Now I am taking group exercises, which are excellent for body flexibility.
This gym had a huge impact on my diabetes. Now I don't feel the impact of diabetes, earlier I used to get headaches due to high glucose level, sometimes slight dizziness. Now it is all gone.
Thanks to YMCA.
Best of all the coaches and trainers are very caring and helpful. This makes us to come to the class again and again. Thx to Katie(Y Fit) and group cycling coaches.
I like the children activities which includes swimming and parents night out.

The most important thing is Love

I love the diversity of the programs offered and the outgoing nature of the instructors to make everyone feel welcome.
I love to attend strength class every day.
It is clean and every one is friendly.
There are always people coming and going when I get to the Y and they look like they are enjoying themselves. I have met a very nice group of people there both those who work there and those who use the facility to get healthy.
I like the variety of classes and machines in the gym. It's easy to stay mixed up my workouts so I stay motivated! The availability of child care is a huge PLUS. My children really enjoy the kids workout classes as well.
The vast variety of activities offered at the Y has no equals anywhere!
