Member Testimonials
I like the swimming and the water exercise classes. I get a great workout and the instructors are great.
I like the multiple activities offered including those activities for seniors, the friendly staff and the convenience of location.
Work out classes, and gym equipment
Variety of programs and times. Offer Silver Sneakers programs. Variety of aquatic programs for all ages. Marylou
Love the Precorr equipment. Fits my routine well, along with elliptical machines
Time available and instructors.
I haven’t participated in any programs I only utilize the basketball court and the weight room. I plan on utilizing the swimming pool. The facility does need better basketballs for the members to use.
All your staff is sooo nice. We moved from working out at Esporta for 8 years to coming here because you have way more for the kids and a whole lot nicer than people at Esporta. We love the open swim!
The Hillcrest YMCA is a staple, community Y. Staff are courteous and friendly, the pool is kept warm and clean, the fitness room is well equipped with an array of machines and the class instructors are knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a an affordable gym!
The staff and members have a cooperative vibe. People are willing to share their challenges and experiences; it removes a barrier of hesitation. The willingness to show adaptation for movements for different abilities.
I like the diverse group of people who are Y members.
So far I have enjoyed the silver sneakers classic and yoga classes and find the instructors to be welcoming and capable of leading large groups. Everyone on staff and the other members have been so friendly and helpful
The various programs are geared to all ages.
I love everything about the place . The ppl are friendily and very helpful
Swimming!
I enjoy the exercise classes. This Y has very good programs and activities. However, the building is long overdue to be demolished and rebuilt. I do not know of another Neighborhood Y that has not been demolished and rebuilt.
They are fun, welcoming, and interesting there is a nice variety of times.
There is something for everyone! Staff are well qualified as well as being helpful and friendly. Environment is well organized and clean. Being at the Y is always a pleasant experience!
Diversity and inclusion honored in every class. I never went to work out classes until the Y. I was so scared and nervous to exercise in a group setting. I was always encouraged to try my best and never felt judged. I’ve been going almost a year now and its one of the best parts of my days now.
The exercise programs are very good, the trainers are wonderful and the vibe of the place is warm and friendly! A great neighborhood treasure!
We enjoy the family activities (parent's night out, classes that accommodate both parents and kids)
Hillcrest YMCA offers every kind of exercise or sport you can possibly want to try or participate in at your request. I just love going there.
Location, pool open swim, great value for dollar
The programs fit my schedule and I see the benefits physically. Iam more energetic and flexible from the various equipment that I am using.
Safe space to work out.
Very friendly staff and the instructors. So many programs to choose from. There is always something for everyone who wants to experience something nice or familiar!
Great place to socialize also.
Staff are very friendly, feels like home.
Programs are organized and well planned.

Staff explain the significance of doing each movement
I love the YMCA! It offers a huge variety of classes for seniors (of which I am one) that are challenging yet the instructors always reassure the participants that they can modify the exercise to their particular level. I took my first Fitness After 50 class today and it was so much fun you don't even realize you are exercising and the instructor is amazing! There's no judgement either! I feel very comfortable there, where I'm at in my journey. The Lyndhurst Y is a bit run-down though. It would be great if it could get remodeled.
