Wellness center
I love the group classes instructors are great and I've made some friendships along the way
I enjoy the Aquafit very much. Especially the intensity that Paul puts into it. I also enjoy the workout with Linda as well. Nikki's routine has become almost too predictable and would love to see her change it up a bit with a little more intensity to it.
I would also like to see line dancing come back as it was a fun workout. I have not participated in the Zumba as it is 5:30 and not a convenient time for me.
I like the fact that there are programs and activities for people of all age groups. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable.
Like Aquafit and all the instructors.
Welcoming environment and caring caregiver

The gym
Everything is so clean and well organized. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. It’s my new happy place!
I swim three times per week and love the pool facilities.
Great facility!
I enjoy the morning classes. The instructors are fantastic and I am sure to have a complete hour of exercise. The variety of classes that is offered fits my needs.
The pool is great, the lifeguards and the staff at the desk are all friendly.
I like the group classes in the mornings. The 8:00 am class is perfect.
Amazing facility!! I love it. It every piece of equipment I love. The women’s plus change room is so clean and perfect. I haven’t been to a YMCA that has everything in place. My 3 year old loves it too!! Very happy attending this particular Ymca
I like that JMFC is very family oriented. From childhood to adulthood, I have always loved going to my local YMCA. I never felt unwelcome and I have been impressed with the consistency of staff attitudes aligning with the YMCA's core values. The only reason I did not give a 10/10 recommendation is because depending on the family, I may not recommend if I knew cost was a concern and that the family did't qualify for any subsidies.
Enjoyed playing pickleball. Meeting new people. Getting my exercise and having fun at the same time.
All of them but I prefers the pool activities. It is easier for me to do with instructor or by myself.😊
Paul is very kind and supportive towards all participants. He made us feel comfortable at the Y and included. The facilities swimming pool & gym equipment is awesome !!
I enjoy working out on my own pace and at my own time.
All staff are polite and helpful .I enjoy Aqua Fit and have noticed that I now can move my knee much better. It is such a relaxing experience.
I love the change room plus with the saunas/whirlpool
New equipment

Wish you had an evening Aquafit. For those who work.
There are a wide variety of programs for all age groups and fitness level.
I always recommend the Aqua Fit class to everyone I know who has arthritis problems....best thing I have ever jioned..
Staff is also personable...and courteous....
I have been a member of gyms most of my life and throughout Canada, including cities such as Toronto and Vancouver. The facility at the Y in Sarnia is as well equipped, if not better, than any of the other gyms I have joined in the past. The swimming facilities are truly impressive, meeting the needs of swimmers of all proficiencies.
An aspect of the Y that I really appreciate is how clean and well maintained the whole facility is and that everyone on staff is so pleasant, cheerful and helpful. It is a treat to see the whole organization working together as a team. I am also impressed with the friendliness of the other members who attend the gym. The whole experience at the Y is a tribute to the community and a big reason why my wife and I decided to retire to Sarnia.
I only go to aquafit and enjoy of energy of the instructors .
very good
Everything that the YMCA stands for and the facts that everyone can relate to it at all stages of life and ages, and there is no discrimination against anyone. Shelley.
Lots to choose from, times are great, and instructors are fabulous!

I love the atmosphere and the attractiveness of the place. We are helped whenever we need it .
