I enjoy the Silver Sneakers classes. There are a nice varieties of levels for different abilities and the trainers all bring different aspect to their classes. I have been to the pool, gym and chair yoga classes. I like all of them
The staff is also very friendly and engaging. This is the best fitness choice I have ever made.
It a good way for me to work out in a safe enviornment
A very friendly community. Easy to go.
Lots of different classes, everyone is so helpful and my personal trainer Benita is awesome!
I like the full range of activities the YMCA has to offer. The employees are very friendly and helpful.
Friendly staff and good programs
Suitable to my fitness needs and it's geographically accessible to my travel and schedule
At this stage in my life I'm big on aquatics. Hillcrest is large enough to add steam room, sauna, and Jacuzzi. Necessary items for joint and pain therapy after workouts. The Geauga YMCA has a circular area of the pool that has a current. Absolutely Great for joint therapy, but a hassle to get to consistently if in need of joint therapy.
I DO SPINNING AND SWIMMING MOSTLY. THE SPINNING CLASSES ARE SET UP SO THAT YOU CAN GO AT YOUR OWN PACE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE SLOWER THAN THE AVERAGE.
SWIMMING FOR ADULTS IS LIMITED BY THE LANES ALLOWED FOR LAP SWIMMING BUT YOU CAN ADJUST. IF THERE ARE MORE SWIMMERS THAN LANES CIRCLE SWIMMING IS INVOKED WHICH SLOWS THE PACE TO THE SLOWEST SWIMMERS PACE. BUT THAT IS OK MOST OF THE TIME.
GENERALLY, THE Y IS FOR YOUTHS. EVERYONE SHOULD KEEP THAT IN MIND.
FOR ME IT IS A CONVENIENT PLACE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET A WORKOUT.

It’s always on time and place is super clean people are super nice too
The people!
Lots of variety for the whole family. Swimming classes for the kids, Zumba for my wife, weight room for me, yoga and aqua aerobics for mom and grandma, and free child watch for the little ones. That staff is great and is like an extended part of my family. And these are just the perks of using the Y as a gymnasium! Should I dare to try and mention the movie family nights, summer camps, Jr Cavs night out, board games with a family mix, breakfast with Santa and other holiday seasonal gatherings, a staff that really cares and promotes children - I can try, but I really cannot list everything!
Offers variety. Love Zumba class and the weight room.
Friendly staff, a nice mix of people, activities to fit. During my years as a member did not see people being upset or arguing. Let it continue this way.
variety and close to home
All the silver sneakers classes along with yoga,fitness after 50 classes every day of the week
The people are very friendly
The staff is great
I like the staff and the family atmosphere people care about you and want to help you. I like basketball with open gym and the basketball leagues. Terry is great with the teams and always there to help in anyway he can. He also wants them to think about others less fortunate by doing volunteer work like the clothes drive. I like family swim in a smaller pool setting for my seven year old and other family activities like movie night.
Fun and healthy
Love the friendly atmosphere. The Twinges class is great. Nice clean place
I like to use their swimming pool and it's close to where I live. I haven't tried their programs yet.
You have a nice variety of programs to choose from and the classes are fun.
