Member Testimonials
Getting fit, getting exercise, having fun and connecting/making new friends. I love water fitness class, Silver Sneakers class and Tai Chi.
A lot of choices and opportunities for adults and children!
that you are thinking about opening up at 5;30 am
I really enjoy Dave Vargo's cycling class. He has a great group of followers.
I also like the friendly attitude of the staff at the entrance to the Y.
You have many activities to choose from.
I don't really use the programs and activities, just the facilities. I like to swim in the indoor rec pool because the water is warmer. I wish there were more times for lap swimming in that pool. I can never warmup in the other indoor pool. The weight lifting room is pretty good. The other room with the weights that is in the back area is even better. I've used it a couple times, but I'm not really comfortable with no one else in the room, in case of a mishap with the weights.
I primarily use the pool, free weight room, sauna and women's bathroom/locker room facilities.
The front desk staff are friendly and helpful.
The pool is fantastic, I love that it's a salt water pool. Jerry, the morning life guard is dependable, kind and keeps things running smoothly.
The free weight room has all the equipment I need for my strength training routine.
Comments about the women's bathroom - facilities are mostly clean. The shower curtains do get a pink film on them (serratia marcescens - bacteria), so regularly spraying with disinfectant would be helpful. Video chats happen in the locker room and I've asked other members on several locations to turn off a video when coming into the women's locker room, and sometimes they do not turn off the video. I'm not sure additional signage would help but it's shocking to be almost completely undressed and someone walks by on a video call.
Overall I am very happy and love the diversity of members.
Great program!
I just started so I don’t know yet. Ask me in 30 days. I was trying to find an aquatic class either on it weekly evening or Saturday morning. Do you have any of that available? I’m interested in aquatic.
Friendly staff is wonderful.
I use the pool for lap swimming which is a great pool and I appreciate the well trained staff and life guards.
Friendly people
good variety, quality, new programs and equipment offered regularly.
Everyone on staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
Whenever I am there I feel loved and cared for.
All of the Silver Sneakers classes are just exactly what I need.
I believe our Powell Crosley Y is like a big family
(and many of our older members really need a
family!)
Good instructors
Our family especially likes the pools (indoor and outdoor), particularly for family/splash time, and the workout room facilities.
I Love the Fit for Life Class! The comradery and friendships developed through this class are just as important as improving overall fitness.
Personnel. Quality equipment.
I am always able to accomplish the workout I plan when I arrive at the facility.
Freedom to come and go as I need to. Classes available. Friendly front desk.
Good facilities and friendly staff
Trainer (Crystal) is very supportive and knowledgeable. She helps with modifications as needed and is ALWAYS cheerful and ready to adapt as needed.
it just an overall great place to work out, employees are great, & the culture as well. keep up the great work.
I attend some great classes regularly that are great fun. Everyone at the Y is very friendly
I love Nancy’s swim class at 11am on Tuesday & Thursdays. I am recovering from 2 rotator cuff surgeries over the past 15 months. Her class is so good for stretching & keeping active as I continue to recover. The water is mentally good as well! Buoyancy & resistance all in one! Appreciate Nancy’s dedication to the class!!
I like to do the shallow pool water exercises because it doesn’t put a lot of stress on my back and knees and it’s fun
Very knowledgeable and helpful staff, the programs are great and thorough and positive atmosphere.
Sue is THE BEST Zumba instructor!!
Ease of registration, floorplan, equipment, friendly staff.
I love going to Gamble-Nippert YMCA and started membership in the early’80’s. We moved away from the area and continued membership at the Powell-Crosley YMCA. It’s a great institution.
I like the class options and class variety at the YMCA. I also appreciate the ability to attend other YMCA facilities for classes.
I would like to see more building updates at Gamble-Nippert like new paint in the lower level locker room updates.
