I enjoy the water aerobics classes. The classes are a great help for maintaining and improving my mobility status. The instructor is great, and the classes are beneficial and fun.
I enjoy the group exercise classes and the friendly front desk staff.
You’re a half mile from my house. I love having year round access to a pool. Your instructors have been friendly, and welcoming to all fitness levels. You support a diversity of members: I feel more connected to my community at the Y than anywhere else. I see families benefiting from your programs, even if they are not my baliwick. I hope to be a member into my old age, when I can take advantage of some of those services.
I love the staff and the child care service and the hours are accommodating.
That it is Christian home grown with Christian values and it's always activity for the children. It is family-centered with family values.
The people I have had dealings with are very professional and very nice I love that in a work place, and they're very informative about other programs at the YMCA.
Aquatic exercise
Affordable and there’s something for the whole family to do!
I like the variety of classes and that there is something for everybody. I also like the "beyond the Y" programs that extend beyond the walls of the Y.
In addition there are organizations that come in with programs & activities for seniors.
Everyone is down to earth. When someone says hello it is not bc of 'corporate' requirements. I have mainly used the pool to get my knees in shape in an attempt to prolong knee surgery, but will be using equipment too. Have no fear! Lol. I am.so very happy I joined & have been recomnending it highly to friends & co- workers. Thank you for having the Y available to.people like me.

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

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.
