Member Testimonials
Family oriented
I really like the instructors like Amelie and Laura. They always show up and give their best as though Bodyattack were the only thing of importance in that moment. They are both positive and encouraging even though the class is grueling.
Convenience.
I would like or see body flow back.
Also don’t understand why Monica replaced all of our teachers. All the classes were full before Covid and we all wanted to come back. Nothing against the people she brought in but I never understood why.
Elliot -step was amazing
Cynthia Nava- body flow Sunday
Morgan- Tues and Thursday class was always packed.
I love the Step class with Oanh! It’s very motivating.
Good variety & level of difficulties
Family Oriented, great personnel!
You offer a variety of group classes.
Well during the construction, the pool is the main draw! Glad it will be open year round now.
I like the classes but am not coming again until COVID dies back because i am one of the very few wearing a mask.
I love my early morning classes with John Dalton. He is the best instructor! I go all 3 mornings a week. His Pilates class keeps me from having to go to the chiropractor. I am not a fan of yoga or body flow. I am afraid Pilates will go away because of low numbers, but I think it struggles because it started in the gym during Covid. I wouldn't mind Pilates another morning. Saturday morning Powerflex is also at a great time!
Swimming. Happy that the pool will be open all year long. Waiting for the weight room to open up again.
Family friendly
I am handicapped and use the pool to exercise. The life guards are very attentive and helpful. I would feel more comfortable getting in and out of the pool if there was a higher rail to hold on too. Please consider adding a taller rail. The two present rails at the steps are geared toward children. The life guards have ordered parts for the chair which will be helpful.
The instructor for Forever Well (John) has been great.
I have been an active member for 39 years and go on a regular basis to the dance and yoga classes and water aerobics. The teachers we have had are wonderful, Love Rae, John and Layla.
I wish we had water aerobics in the evening and more classes on Sat. & Sunday mornings.
Additionally, many of my friends are on Medicare Advantage with the Silver Sneaker benefit and we are sorry to see so many people leave because the Y and Silver Sneaker could not reach an agreement.
The Y at one time welcomed seniors (even non-members) for game days and other senior opportunities but that is also not available. I think if we could invite non-members it might be a way to bring some of them back as members.
Excellent facilities
Very well kept and clean place
Good classes such as cardio dance with Rae
Water exercise with Paige
Water Zumba with Leila ? Sat 8:30 am
Looking forward to seeing the new weight room!
variety of classes, instructors
Year round pool. Great staff.
just the best
I love the classes and Trotters pool!
Outdoor pool
The variety of activities, the staff is always friendly and professional especially Adam Spiegel Director at Trotter YMCA. During some of my most difficult times in my life emotionally/financially he was there for me showing me kindness and compassion. He is a beautiful human being and a true asset to your organization for he encompasses the true spirit of the YMCA. I Love the YMCA!!!! I wish I could afford gym dues now, but when I get back on my feet financially I will happily return.
Thank You,

I like that the pool doesn't get super crowded on weekends. I wish foster were still doing reservations for swim spots. Oh well.
There's not much to dislike. The front desk people are very helpful. Instructors are awesome. I go to Foster Y. I do hope all rooms will be opening soon.
Excellent
Pool is nice and group classes are great. Can’t wait for the renovations to finish!
Variety of types of classes, am, and pm class times, weekend classes, family atmosphere, proximity to my residence, city wide membership, communicating with program director, ample onsite parking, friendliness of Ymca staff.
Swimming teachers very sweet and helpful.
Day care assistants also nice and helpful.
Excited for the renovation.
Have been away because of covid concerns and this was first time back for swim lessons. Happy to see stuff wearing masks and even the kids.
Child watch
Great fitness classes
Super nice staff
Diverse clientele
Even under construction the staff did great welcoming the families. My family enjoyed going daily to the pool this summer. We look forward to enjoying the year around pool.
