Trainers, Equipment, People
I love the personal training program. I never knew I liked strengh training until I started this program. I like having appointments because it keeps me on task. I find strengh training very beneficial to my health. It's great to have someone to teach the techniques, and I like the fact that I know I am doing the movements correctly. I also think the French Creek Y is doing a great job keeping the facility safe during the pandemic.
Many different options to choose.
very friendly & helpful staff clean facility I use the competition pool for classes & swimming laps a wonderful way to recharge body, mind, soul
Helpful and courteous staff, great facility, programs and cleanliness. I feel safe at this facility in regards to Coronavirus due to the diligence in prevention measures.
Wonderful variety of classes. Extremely clean facilities. Very friendly employees.
The yoga and strength and balance classes with Phyllis!
Love the water aerobics. Wish more people would be allowed toattend
Most of all, I like the people at the front desk at French Creek. It is always such a pleasant experience to enter the building, walk across the floor and be greeted with a genuine smile, no matter who is on duty that day.
a great variety of programs available, beautiful facility and amazingly friendly and helpful staff
I am grateful for all you offer to keep us seniors feeling positive and active!
Thank you!
Group excercises, yoga classes
The instructors have been awesome. I have to,speak from last year’s experience since I just started back. I’ve liked all the spin instructors I’ve had classes from, especially Shelly, Michelle, and Diane. I also enjoyed Shannon and Dianne Hamilton when they were here. The silver Sneakers ladies have been good as well - Angela (moved), Michelle, Jessica.
There seems to be a wide variety of activities, even during the pandemic. The Y is being careful that we space ourselves appropriately and exiting by way of a different door from entryway.
And, we love Kathy Mac and her trips. We’re so glad that we went to NYC last November since it’s not a safe traveling time now!
Love exercising in the water. But I won't participate in Gail's water aerobic classes due to Gail's rude behavior. Admonishes us if we talk. No talking allowed. Actually tells a person to "stop talking". Even if we're helping one another. We're all adults. Not children. Gail should take a lesson from Shelly who makes exercising fun. We all returned every week for her classes.
This was my first visit to the French Creek Y. When I requested directions to the group exercise room, the person on staff, whose name I don’t recall, immediately welcomed me and jumped out from behind the desk to show me around the facility. I was truly impressed! I enjoyed my class , thought the facility was beautiful but will always remember the kindness and professionalism of the woman who greeted and welcomed me so warmly. I’ve told several friends of this story. Keep up the great work !
Feels like home!
I love the staff. They are very helpful. Most of all I love how clean it is. I am there at least 3 times a week and I never feel any anxiety concerning the Virus.
The staff is constantly cleaning the equipment. Sanitizer is all around the facility

The friendly people
Group exercises
I enjoy the classes,we all kind of know each other and it's a good fun workouts.
I joined the French Creek YMCA in late Nov. 2011 and have enjoyed the facility...very friendly staff!
As I primarily swim for exercise, the only request I have would be to move the "H.S. swim time" on Saturday mornings from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. (or later for them). I like to get in early, and on with my day...and I believe I speak for may other swimmers as well. Having only 3 lanes at that time is difficult. I've had to share a lane - not desired.
The only other request - please have the soap dispensers in the showers checked more regularly. They run out sooner than one thinks.
Thanks,

A program for every level of ability. Lots of machines and CLEAN!
Nice weight room. Covid has crimped things
Friendly staff; program variety.
I really like going to workout
Thank you for opening your doors during the COVID pandemic so we can reduce stress and stay in shape. I LOVE the Aqua Fit classes taught by Donna Boucher and have followed her from another local facility. I also want to commend all those who clean and sanitize the locker rooms so we can shower after water classes. All the employees of the YMCA (front desk personnel, class registration checkers, and lifeguards) that I have encountered are friendly, caring and helpful. Thank you for all you do for the community!
I love the recreation pool
I appreciate being able to use the facility while feeling relatively comfortable during the ongoing pandemic. I enjoy the spin classes with Shelly and Michelle, they both do an awesome job. However, I do not like or appreciate being scolded by an instructor from another class in front of a group of people, quite embarrassing. Sometimes a little professionalism goes a long way. Managing class time should be important, schedules are made for a reason. Being considerate should go both ways.
Very safe and so good to get back to the Y!
Great Staff!!
