Member Testimonials

There are a lot of things for senior citizens to do. Helps keep me going.

The pool and overall facilities

I've been a member since late Nov. 2011. My primary workout program is swimming. My name is James Kilgore, from Avon Lake.

As a Christian Believer, the only thing I was dismayed at, was finding a LBGTQ+) Pride acceptance sign in the front window of the Y (I've just returned from a 2 week, plus vacation and saw the sign June 27, 2022).

I believe in the dignity of all people...but as a Believer in Christ and seeing this sign, I was taken aback. Has the Y now succumbed to going Woke, like so many corporations?

I do believe all are welcome @ the Y ; but, my stance, as is our Church's stance - Hate the Sin, And Love (show compassion) to the sinner)....this sign in my opinion, welcomes/approves all that they stand for ; and I think it's wrong, and very sad that the Y has chosen to cave...and apparently thinks nothing is wrong with the (LGBTQ+) agenda.

Sorry, but goes against everything the Word of God stand for....and you can quote me on this.

The swimming programs are led wonderfully.

They are all hood and outstandingly designed for all age individuals to attend happily.
Your exceptional Senior Developer special person is Kathy McKean. All the special attention and love she puts in each and every program is so perfectly thought of.
We all feel we wish we could Clone her. For everyone to love and enjoy.

I love the pool. I’m 80 years old with knee replacement and a hip replacement. The pool let’s me exercise. I feel great after an hour in the pool.

I Love the "YMCA"'S Aquatic Programs!! They've Really Helped me with my Health Issues!!

Thank You!!!

Friendly, helpful staff. The equipment I like to use is all available

I’m so impressed with Samantha, aquatics director. She shows a fair balance with the kids’ summer water activities, kids swimming lessons, and the lifeguards ‘attention to detail’. I’m a silver sneaker member and greeted with a warm smile each n every day.
Well done, Samantha!

Bus trips are excellent

Cathy does an excellent job.

Classes, especially spin.

I like the water classes. Aqua Zumba is my favorite. Angie is so much fun and really motivates you. Gail on the other hand needs to let people have fun and change up the class occasionally.

I appreciate the availability of high quality work out machines that provide the exercises I need for maintaining good health for my age group! My wife likes the group classes that are typically designed for her exercise needs.

Thanks for all you do to contribute to our communities' health.
