Member Testimonials
I absolutely love that I am able to just pay for the pool membership. I love the aqua fit classes and lane swimming. I have recommended this to several friends.
The front desk folks are so delightful and welcoming. Very glad I joined.

I love the Y ... there are just so many activities to choose from, and I want to do them all. My favourites are aquafit and light'n lively ... The building is totally awesome with an ice rink, housing the library and offering an indoor track for public use. Keep up the great work 😁
aqua fit
i am not in the programs or activities -- i just use the weight room and the track -- but love the openness and cleanliness of the place
I enjoy swimming laps in the pool. It is clean, bright and the staff are very pleasant. The women’s change room is always well maintained!
I really like the variety of activities that you can do at Startech. Access to the open track at any given. Time is great, too!
I must admit, though I really liked the swim schedule before February better. The lane swims were attached to swim classes which allowed me to do both many days throughout the week. On the weekends now classes are separate from lane swims.
But overall very happy. I like the flexibility of using a swim pass also because if I don’t go for a few weeks at a time, it’s not a big deal because I’m paying per visit and at a reasonable cost.
The StartechYMCA has new and well maintained facilities and I also like the sense of community with the library and walking track.
To improve It would be so helpful to have a lane booking system for the pool because it is often too busy and the other suggestion is to have a sauna as it has so many benefits.
Thanks!
The place has a good feeling about it. Clean, bright and always very active.
I really like your aquafit classes - love the early morning one especially (8:00 a.m.) - not overly crowded, instructors are excellent, music is good too. A wonderful way to start my day.
Fitness classes, child mind
Lots of options for Aquafit and cardio
I love the variety of activities and especially that it’s affordable for families
Everyone is welcome and no signs. Great for so ability levels and ages.
It's a beautiful facility. I loveee how bright it is and seems to be a centre that promotes learning, connection and healthy living. I love it !
Feedback:
I wish there were lines above the pool so on back stroke you could orient yourself where you are in relation to your lane and can stay in your lane going straight.
Feedback. From Strathroy and really wish we had an indoor pool and didn't have to drive to London to swim or have access to such a beautiful facility.
Aquafit instructor is skilled and the classes are fun.
Change rooms are bright and clean and plenty of lockers available.
Lots of parking, although a few more handicapped parking spots wouId be helpful.

Swimming and basketball.soccer,doggy ball.
Cleaning facility , great swim instructors , lots of activities for kids

I live across the road and come there almost every day. I can see that it does need some TLC but is ok. It’s my home away from home.
Sometimes the work out area has kids just hanging out and really should not be there.
Also when I first joined I tried to get my granddaughter enrolled in swimming lessons. That’s the first real reason for joining. I was online the day it opened for registration and it was totally booked. I went on a waiting list for other time slots and days but I could never get her in.
All in all I’m grateful to have a facility like this in London.
