Member Testimonials
The family-friendly atmosphere at the YMCA is unmatched. The instructors in the adult group classes are incredible. Not only are they highly knowledgeable, they work hard to vary the routine for each class, and they offer tips for modifying the routine so it works for different fitness levels. My kids have attended Y Fitness Club with Jeri Sue for just a few weeks and LOVE it! They are so motivated to make healthy choices, and now understand how exercise is about having fun! The Y is great for our family!
Family friendly
I utilize the Y for the machines - which you have a huge variety of machines and shooting hoops and the ping pong and the hot tub. I wish you had an electronic rolling screen or wish the associate at the desk would immediately let you know what activities are going on as soon as you walk in the door so you are in the know. ie even if you walked in the Y and wanted to use the machines but if an employee said hey a yoga class is currently going on upstairs right now if you are interested... that might entice me to alter my plans for the day and do something different.
Thank you !
We like the friendly greeting every time we walk in. Upstairs, Kim does a great job and is obviously a very dedicated member of the "Y" The cleaning people are very expert at keeping the "Y" very clean. We also love the family atmosphere i.e. seeing whole families walk in is a joy. And lastly, we love to take our grandchildren as they love working out with us.
We as a family enjoy the facilities and the programs provided YMCA.
Family Friendly. Always clean and great staff
100miles swim or 150 miles swim program help me motivate to keep swimming
We love the friendliness of everyone at the y!!
Not sure about programs but the staff and the gym equipment is always top notch!
We LOVE our Y! Our daughter - Calla - has pretty much grown up there. The play center is a place she loves to go to - everyone that works there has been kind, caring and interactive with her - she has been taking swim lessons and attending day camps as well. My wife and I love the gym and workout equipment and my wife loves the various classes as well. The Forsyth County Y is a warm, welcoming place to work out and we look forward to our time there. Oh - and Parents Night Out - WE LOVE IT! Keep up the outstanding work - we will be lifelong members.

The Forsyth Y feels more like a club to join healthy, happy people than a gym to suffer and sweat.
My visit there is always a pleasant experience and I feel as though I am among friends. That said, I can always get in a quiet workout when I am not in the mood to socialize.
Staff is usually available to help as I want it but help is not pushed on me.
Classes are added/tried out based on customer interests and this keeps things interesting.
I like the daily schedule of classes posted on the screen in the lobby.
Classes are well done and instructors are knowlegable.
The social aspect of our YMCA for mature adults is unbeatable. It encourages my physical and mental health.
The lobby area with coffee in the lobby, tv news and local news media offers a place to "reward myself" with a cup of coffee after a good workout.
Dana is a spectacular asset to the Y. So is Beth at the front desk.
My wishes for possible improvement:
I wish we had water classes that were deep water. We need a better method that saves machine settings and where I can record my progress! I need instruction or a class on how to use the electronic options on the exercise bikes. I wish we had a bigger inndoor track OR other indoor routes were measured (sort of the way the mall walkers have) so I can get in walking a known distance without the tiny track. I am a little worried that this Y will grow too large to maintain the current atmosphere. THANK YOU!!
Friendly clean. Good equipment. Coaches are helpful. Comradary with others around coffee table.
I do pool exercise. Love being in the water. Nice facilities. Love the family atmosphere.
