Member Testimonials

Swimming

I feel safe going to the Y. It is clean and everyone is helpful.

I was always glad to be going to this gym. The staff is helpful, everything is clean and the other members coming are good people. Sadly, the pandemic is keeping us away.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Instructors are great for HIIT, yoga and body pump.

Helpful and Friendly staff

Wide variety of class, updated equipment, friendly staff and members with great emphasis on frequent sanitation.

I'm partial to Step, I've taking Step for many years and can say Kelly is without equal. Her choreography, and teaching approach is definitely a 10. That same score goes to her personality. She welcomes all new comers with favorable comments. Encourages all of us to never give up. I've seen how far we all have come in her class.

She uses her knowledge of the human body to make sure we are not damaging ourselves during the class and always finds time after class to answer questions. "Kelly cares".

Her smiling face and personality can be the highlight of the week. Don't know how she knows everyone's name after meeting them once, but she does. We also get great tips on aerobics clothing.

Please give us back our Thursday Step Class. I know the "Y" is operating under rules new to all of us. Thanks for the safe feeling we all have coming back.

Plenty of parking and clean fascilities and friendly staff...👍

Nice equipment, friendly staff, great hours!

I love the classes. I just wish there were more since they fill up so fast and make it hard to attend. If you could add additional Boot Camp, Cardio and Strength, and HITT classes throughout the day that would be great!

I love the water aerobics and wish they could be expanded to 2 hours.

I love the water aerobic programs

I like that the James P. Gill YMCA is so health-minded. During the pandemic, I have experienced several good health and safety practices that really showed the James P. Gills YMCA is serious about preventing the spread of COVID 19. The activities and programs were modified during this time so that the participants were safe.

The group exercise instructors do a phenomenal and professional job!

The fitness classes are excellent. Also really enjoy the bible study class.

Well trained instructors

Very broad range of activaties

Good variety

Cleanliness, wide variety of programs and a friendly, professional, helpful staff.

I like the flexibility of the schedules and the great staff.

I really enjoy the pro-family atmosphere! I feel comfortable allowing my children to participate in all the activities that are offered and know that they will be in good hands.

My children love swimming every day. I love dropping my children off knowing that they are safe and having fun with friends while I am at work. The counselors have daily sports activities and games/challenges that my children are so excited to tell me about when I pick them up.
I can't thank the YMCA enough! Also, on a side note, Amanda is wonderful!
