Member Testimonials
I like how friendly and welcoming most of the staff/teachers are.
Great new equipment, great AC environment for working out, would be nice to have two Aquafeel rowers.
Augusta location is very good, friendly facility I am using.
Lots of different classes, times, and great instructors. Good equipment.
The Les Mills classes at this Y are some of the best around. Great instructors who are competent, high energy and fun. The Healthy Living Director, Monica Ward, does a great job making sure classes are done with excellence.
I don't join in any of the programs but from I can see other members enjoy the programs they are part of...I see a lot of people that smile
For the class I am attending i.e. Low impact cardio by Chris Jones and Cindy Walker are great for my age category 65+
In addition the sub instructors also good/great because we got to listen to different music category and learnt new movement and information.

I love both the mat pilates classes on Monday and Wednesday - Both Sara and Carol are excellent teachers - very thorough and make class enjoyable. I started pilates with very bad back pain, and both classes have helped me strengthen my core so much that the back pain has almost disappeared.
Family oriented and easy to attend.
Variety - in classes, people, ages, activities
Good spin classes, this is really all I go this Y for. Loved Hans on Sat mornings - but Rachel S at 9:25 is pretty good, also Debbie. Please don't give Pete the Sat 8am prime slot, he is just not that good and that's such a prime time. Hans used to fill every seat in the class.
I just use the pool, but I love to come and swim laps and read in the shade. I like the snack bar. Most of the employees are nice and helpful. I have also enjoyed massages occasionally.

Exercise equipment, track, and pool are all outstanding. A good group of professional trainers.
It offers many different opportunities.
The people
The Trotter YMCA has lots of activities, the facilities are well appointed and clean, the members are polite and social, and the staff is helpful and attentive. It's a great place in a very convenient location for me.
Thanks,

they are great.
There is plenty of cardio equipment available and the weight room is spacious. The group classes are exciting and challenging, the instructors are very encouraging.
The hands on
-the facility is clean -plenty of classes available.
-the staff is knowledgable and courteous -biggest disappointment is a total cut back on the Women's Center hours ,several members have left because they liked the whole idea of a only women area ,but hours didn't work for them
They are adapted to fit the needs of the participants Also, my instructor, Cindy, always tells us why we are doing a particular exercise or stretch, and she pushed us but not too far. Also you have such a great variety and time schedule to accommodate all needs. Guest speakers are brought in with various topics of interest. Everything is kept neat, clean and orderly...very important. All age groups and their needs are provided, and I haven't had time to investigate the games, luncheons and field trips. The best thing, though, is that my insurance pays for it!!
Y is open and welcoming, with tons of classes and activities.
Programs and activities are great but more importantly it is imperative the facility is well maintained. At the end of the day if the facility is not maintained properly it won't matter what programs and activities are offered because people won't come. Please do not try to offer more programs and activities at the expense of the members who expect a clean and fully functional facility. In other words don't scare away the gooses that lays the golden eggs.
Lots of things
effective
BODYPUMP and BODYATTACK are definitely my favorite classes, and in general I love this whole facility. It's really a gem.
Great choice of classes
