Member Testimonials
I like how welcoming and friendly everyone is. That’s a big deal. Most gyms are very impersonal but i feel like everyone is so encouraging as i do group fitness classes
Very friendly,comfortable and a very friendly and helpful staff.
I currently attend three fitness classes: step, body pump, and zumba. They are different sizes and different workouts (also different age demographics, it seems). But, the instructors are all very welcoming and encouraging. Even though I'm new, they make me feel competent and included.
Exercise when the weather is horrible
I love the variety of workouts along with the pool and the gym. Plus child care. It is great.
I love the Senior Exercise Classes the Y offers. I'm an almost 82 year old woman who has been enrolled in exercise programs a long time and I love the 3 classes I'm now attending at the Y.
Thank you for offering them.

As a senior citizen I enjoy the Monday a d Wednesday 11 am exercise classes tailor made for our various levels of cardio, toning, and balance workout. It's affordable, safe, effective, has open enrollment, has a lot of participants, and after it's done...I can say it was ...🤔🤨😟😊🫠

The community and class offerings
Chimere, the kids camp director is THE BEST!!!!!!!! And always has been a major role model and has been part of every camp my kids have been to….
My kids have been with the YMCA since my son was 2 yrs old and my daughter was 5yrs old….(they are now 7 and 10 years old)
We were even at the YMCA during all the post lockdowns and even went to summer camp that summer of 2020 and my kids even went to school during that whole crazy school time where kids had to learn remotely the YMCA was there for us…. Chimere and Theresa made every experience a positive and memorable experience for my kids.
We love the YMCA camps!!!!! Thank you for having camp during winter break. Midwinter breaks holiday breaks they are so needed….. and thank you for offering scholarships on those as well for single moms like myself!!!!!!
Thank you YMCA thank you Chimere and thank you, Theresa
