Member Testimonials
They are excellent
The variety, there’s something for everyone.
Like many I need a bit of encouragement and accountability to consistently get up and exercise. The regularly scheduled programs at the Y provide both of these rails to get me going. The quality of the program leaders is quite good. The times programs are offered (I love the 6:00am classes) work very well for me, and judging by the attendance many others as well. While I don't currently use the afternoon and evening sessions its nice to know they are available for when I no longer like to get up before dawn, but I'll still need the exercise.
The Y sponsors many Activities beyond exercise programs. While I haven't participated yet they do seem to be well planned and of sufficient variety to attract participants from across the membership. I do hope they can continue.

Love the Spin classes.
Love the early opening hour.
Love all the weight machines and dumbbell options upstairs.
Afterburn looks like a really good thing, and I want to try that.
Love having the towels in the locker room.
Frustrating when there is no soap in the dispensers in the men’s adult shower. Could you ask the attendant to pay more attention to that?
The variety.
Love Masters Swimming. Excellent coaches who cater to anyone’s goals.
Variety! I am a water exercise instructor but I take classes that I thoroughly enjoy. The instructors are enthusiastic, encouraging and knowledgeable.
Love all the options for group classes. Especially with Bodypump and Zumba. I've had to leave because there was no equipment and or space because it was so crowded. I hear there are renovations happen when I complained to the front desk hopefully it's to make the space bigger for those who want to come. ☺️
So much variety and the Y is a very welcoming environment. The fitness center and the folks that work in there are the best. Bathrooms and sitting spaces are always clean. I love my time at the Shallowford Rd. YMCA.
Place is always clean. I like the variety of activities. I wish you get massage services or massage chairs.

I love our instructor, Christine. She’s proficient at leading the class. She’s friendly and caring. She makes the class challenging, yet also fun. It’s the Tuesday/Thursday 11:30 class.
Variety of things to do.
Classes
Water aerobics is great, it's fun and doesn't feel like I'm working out. Senior exercise on Wednesdays is great! Janet is awesome.

I don’t really partake in the activities. I use the weight room and basketball gym.
