i like the staff is very nice and kind people
I love the friendly greetings and faces, the classes I am taking, the Y class and the different instructors on M W and Fri. Each one brings something different to the table. I love Linda Hamilton’s class and her talking about her 🐈⬛ black cat. Ellen is always upbeat and gives a great class on Monday to start the week. Tracey is excellent and won’t cut you any slack on Wed.
I wish the pool were warmer. I have tried swimming but have to dive under the lane dividers and the temperature could be 2 or 3 degrees warmer. I have been meaning to drive to Heathsville as I was told their pool is warmer .
I. Like that the Y is clean with nice changing area and restrooms and there are lots of classes. I would like more classes for seniors. Perhaps Senior Yoga.

FRIENDLY AND SUPPORTIVE STAFF, WELCOMING AND CLEAN FACILITY
Jill with the chair Yoga class was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Her class is awesome!
I like the fact the facility is kept clean. I also like the availability of classes for no extra fee.
The Mathews Y has so many great options for working out and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I take classes every week, use the cardio and weight equipment regularly, and work with a trainer. The staff is excellent and facilities are always clean and well maintained. I also really appreciate the 24/7 access. Great job Mathews YMCA!
Trained with Simone at the YMCA wellness center. I learned alot and feel the training was professionally and productively done. Thanks Simone! I recommend thus center.
Very nice and helpful enable to answer all questions
I love the Y. They provide a variety of workout classes for seniors, which give one a lot to choose from. On the other hand some of the classes like, gentle yoga are always packed, not enough room for so many people wanting to participate. I think there should be a limit how many people can be in the yoga classes cos sometimes I think it’s unsafe to have people laying down by the exit door. That would be a disaster in case of an emergency! This is something that needs to be addressed.
The other thing is Tai Chi. I know quite a few of people have expressed to admin to try and provide that class at the Y. I understand instructors are an issue but, I know there’s enough interest to warrant having an instructor.
My favorite part about the Y is the people, everyone I’ve met is just absolutely incredible. Ms. Ruth at the West Point VA YMCA is the most kind human being I’ve ever came in contact with. Truly an amazing person and contribution to the YMCA family.
Great exercise, keeps me active and very good instructor. Staff is always informed and very helpful!
